As the Dallas Morning News explained it, imagine four long buses parked end to end. That's the length of the world's largest video screen, an 11,200 square-foot Mitsubishi Electric HDTV television above the playing field at Cowboys Stadium. It stretches between the 20-yard lines of the stadium that was opened in 2009.

Who founded the Dallas Cowboys football team?
The Dallas Cowboys as we know them today were pretty much invented by Tex Schramm, the team's first president and general manager. For instance, it was Schramm's idea for the Cowboys to wear white jerseys at home so that opposing teams would wear the uniforms that fans were used to seeing on television. Schramm also dropped the Cowboys' original white helmets and double-star jerseys in favor of a color scheme he believed looked cool on television. He was correct in his instincts. The Cowboys' blue metallic helmets have become iconic in the National Football League. Schramm also is credited with turning the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders into a world-renowned group with a fan following of its own. In the early 1970s, he came up with the idea of a sidelines squad that combined the pizzazz of Las Vegas showgirls with girl-next-door wholesomeness. The result caused a sensation throughout the league and the creation of other cheerleading groups that were more like dance teams.
Why did Jerry Jones fire Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry via the media and not to his face?
Legendary Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry was fired in February 1989 by the Cowboys' new owner, Jerry Jones, who named University of Miami coach Jimmy Johnson to succeed him. Although the firing was a shock, there is no record that Jones announced it on TV instead of telling Landry first. JERRY JONES HAS PUBLICLY STATED THAT HE GAVE HIMSELF A SCORE OF 'F' ON THE HANDLING OF BUYING THE COWBOYS AND THE SITUATION WITH TOM LAUNDRY.

Who started the phrase America's Team when describing the Dallas Cowboys?
Bob Ryan, the Vice President and editor-in-chief of NFL Films, coined this for the Cowboys in 1979. After preparing and editing the team's 1978 season highlight film he had to come up with a title for the film. He was quoted as saying: I wanted to come up with a different twist on their team highlight film. I noticed then, and had noticed earlier, that wherever the Cowboys played, you saw more people in the stands with Cowboys jerseys and hats and pennants. Plus, they were always the national game on television. During the Cowboys' first game of the 1979 season, a nationally televised game against the St. Louis Cardinals (which Dallas won 22-21), the television announcer introduced the Cowboys as America's Team and the name stuck. Dallas's Hall of Fame coach Tom Landry originally did not approve of the appellation of America's Team. He felt that it would give opposing teams extra incentive to play harder.
