IRVING, Texas (AP) -The punter who will be kicking more in the new Cowboys Stadium than anyone else isn’t bothered by the huge video display boards looming over the middle of the field.
Cowboys punter Mat McBriar said Monday there is no reason to make any changes or raise the video boards because one punt in one game hit them. The 60-yard-long high-definition screens are only 90 feet above the field.
Tennessee rookie A.J. Trapasso punted a ball into the screens in the third quarter of the stadium’s first NFL game Friday night, forcing a do-over once the officials realized what happened. That punt didn’t count, but there were 12 other punts – six by each team – that weren’t affected by the screens.
