<P> AT&T Stadium is known as "The Death Star" by DFW sports fans . </P> <P> Guinness World Records was on hand at the September 28, 2009 game against the Carolina Panthers to award certificates to the Chairman of Mitsubishi Electric and Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones for the World's Largest High - Definition Video Display . For basketball events played in Cowboys Stadium, such as the 2010 NBA All - Star Game, the video board is actually larger than the court . It has since been surpassed in size by the video boards at EverBank Field . </P> <P> During the debut preseason game of Cowboys Stadium on August 21, 2009, a punt by Tennessee Titans punter A.J. Trapasso hit the 175 feet (53.34 m) wide screen above the field . The punt deflected backwards and was ruled in - play until Titans coach Jeff Fisher informed the officials that the punt struck the scoreboard . By rule, the down was replayed . Jerry Jones believes that Trapasso was trying to hit the scoreboard, saying, "If you look at how you punt the football, unless you're trying to hit the scoreboard, you punt the ball to get downfield . You certainly want to get some hangtime, but you punt the ball to get downfield, and you sure don't punt the ball down the middle . You punt it off to the side ." Whether the screen would affect an opposing team's punting strategy has been debated . For teams with strategies centered on maximizing hang - time, physicist Christopher Moore of Longwood University has shown via computer simulation that well - kicked punts have the potential to hit the screen no matter the field position . Trapasso disputed Jones' suggestion that he was intentionally trying to hit the board, and other NFL punters have suggested that the board may pose a problem for longer hang - time punts . The screen was retrofitted with 16 custom winches using 11,000 feet (3.35 km) of 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) domestic galvanized wire rope from Tway Lifting Products to accomplish the safe, efficient transport of the video board in time to make room for U2's massive set during their 360 ° Tour, and was moved back down after the concert . The video board is also the primary attachment point for up to 370,000 lb (168 metric tons) of concert and theatrical rigging . </P> <P> On August 24, 2013, Cowboys punter Chris Jones became the second player to hit the scoreboard . He conceded a touchdown on the re-kick . </P>
