Chelsea and Mexican top team Club America were playing in Cowboys Stadium tonight. So I went with a few colleagues to check out the soccer stars and the brand new stadium. And yes, the new home of the Dallas Cowboys is huge.
With a crowd of 55,000 is was 75% filled, mainly with Mexican fans dressed in yellow. Many of them had picked up a brand new vuvuzela in the parking lot. Some of them even managed to bring fireworks.
We were high up. It would have been hard to distinguish the players. Luckily the stadium has the world's largest HDTV: the 600-ton Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Vision System. Hanging 90 feet above the field, each screen facing the sidelines is about 60 yards long and 72 feet tall.
