It's only been a few weeks since a major blunder that occurred during the Cowboys' first ever game at Cowboys Stadium. While it was an exhibition game that carried little meaning, this event could easily have occurred during a meaningful game, prompting fans and the media to criticize the placement of the unit. A punt by the Titans' kicker went high enough to hit the video unit, which obviously disrupted play.

According to a few sources, the NFL has come out and taken responsibility for this blunder, admitting to the pressing need to fix this as soon as possible.

Ray Anderson, currently the NFL's VP of Operations, held a conference recently and took the blame for this mistake. He acknowledged the fact that this unit is lower than it should be and can't remain this way.

Anderson has come out and stated that the height estimations that the NFL put together were way off base, and that the planning done with respect to this unit was far from proper. The league kind of just "winged it", assuming that 85 or 90 feet would be ample as far as the height went. He also promised that the issue will be fixed as soon as possible.

On the Cowboys' side of things, Jerry Jones has offered his cooperation with respect to the issue, willing to adjust the height of the unit as needed. Additionally, he's agreed to move an advertisement that hangs from the bottom of the unit.

This video unit has a reported value of $40 million, and spans over 60 yards in length, as it extends from the 20 yard line, all the way to the other one. The height of this board is 73 feet.

When all is said and done, the fact that a game could be disrupted prompts a necessary adjustment to the board's height. How soon this may occur still remains to be seen.
