Punters change channel on Jones’ $40 million TV

More detail coming out on the logistics of the temp raising and some digging in from the Cowboys spokesman. Seems the board is inoperable at the addl height.

For the last month, we have been in the process of installing equipment that will permit the lowering of the board in the future, allowing us to maximize the board for a variety of special events other than football games. This work will continue into early October. At the end of September we will also be temporarily disconnecting and raising the board for the U2 concert on Oct. 12 to accommodate their 100 foot stage, as the board will be inoperable at that height and will not be utilized during the show. Following the U2 concert, the board will return to its standard height of 90 feet above the playing field."
