I think their HD is skewed wide. The faces look fat, the girls look short and trolly. And big-thighed and big-assed. I think they're actually prettier than that. It's kind of bizarre that people gather in a huge stadium for football and end up staring at some honker movie screen of something happening in front of them.
160 ft X 72 ft, 1080p resolution. From what I've heard, it's better in person than the picture above represents.

Hmmm...I'd be dubious over the claimed resolution. However, it does explain why they look too wide. 160x72 yields an aspect ration of 2.22. Wide-screen HD is supposed to be 16:9 ratio which is 1.76. So the image is 26% wider than it should be, making the girls look porky. The video was shot with standard widescreen HD 16:9 (1.76) cameras but displayed on a 2.21 theater-type display. We should be able to reverse that distortion in the browser by narrowing the image. This picture corrects the Jumbotron (well, Mitsubishi-made) screen distortion. They need to splurge for the theatrical cameras that can capture the wider screen, not just squish this to fill their screen. They could also use the same standard cameras but just apply proper screen zoom to it.
