    Dolphins got big, big display

    We're used to a lot of companies calling their products the world's largest, smallest, first or most expensive, and most of the time, we're able to deflate the hype at least a little. But in the case of the newly unveiled display at Miami's Dolphin Stadium, we may just have to hand it to them: the 720p display is a whopping 137 feet wide by 50 feet high, making its diagonal dimensions 1,750 inches. So, when stadium officials boast that it's the world's largest HD display, we really don't think we can argue with them (though we do take issue with their removal of the "s" -- but that's another story). Sort of makes those 103-inchers we were just drooling over seem kind of tiny. Then again, we're not quite sure where we could put a 1,750-incher if we actually had a chance to get one for ourselves, so a 103 will do us just fine, thanks.


    Display is 137 feet wide by 50 feet high, making its diagonal dimensions 1,750 inches. That is a lot of room to see Fish being skinned!

    P.S. Dolphins have not sold stadium name and no pressure has been made for them to do so despite offer from Starkist to rename stadium "Chicken of the Sea stadium"

        Sadly I see the Bills getting a bigger HD screen soon.



















        Once they move to Los Angeles!

          Is this for all the "fans" that do not attend the games so they can view "their" team from the parking lot?

            It is for the soccer games they plan on playing there. Cuban North vs Cuban National team probably. But at least Miami got a new one.

              Obviously they felt the need to compensate for their other "shortcomings".

                Well they must figure it will put them over the top and get them in the playoffs. At least now the refs will be able to see all the replays perfectly without having to go to the booth :)

                    Sweet I'll have to hack into the Dolphins network and upload a video to the new screen of how to filet fish during a Fish game. Don't forget the chips !

                            Anyone else find this insane? This is the same team that always has tons of empty seats during the season, even when the games mean something.
