“A month ago, the Miami Dolphins unveiled their new scoreboard, hailed as the largest high-definition video screen in the world. By July, when the Texas Longhorns' new scoreboard is expected to be in place at Royal-Memorial Stadium, the Dolphins will have to be content with having the world's second-largest big-screen TV.
The University of Texas' high-definition LED scoreboard will be 134 feet wide and 55 feet high and will replace the 10-year-old, far smaller scoreboard in the south end zone.
Measuring the diagonal, the way they do for TV sets, that's a whopping 1,740-inch screen for Longhorn fans.” Thanks Preeth for this info!
Few are as fanatic a Texas fan as I am but even I find the following a bit too obsessive: There was a web cam allowing persons to follow the construction of the damn scoreboard…From the UT sports site…http://www.texassports.com/webcam.html

We hope you've enjoyed watching its construction.Please join us for the scoreboard's debut on September 2 when the Longhorns meet North Texas in the opening game of the 2006 Texas Football season.
Hook 'em, Horns!
