New video screens for FedEx Field in 2010

As anyone who has been to a Redskins game at FedEx Field knows, the game day experience sucks. Apart from the fact that the product on the field is dismal [unless you're a fan of the visiting team, which is an all-too-common occurrence these days], the prices are far too high from everything from parking to hot dogs and it's hard to see the action on the field unless your seats are very close. [I've always used binoculars.] Dan Snyder is trying to fix at least one of those problems by installing two new large high-definition video screens on either end of the field for the 2010 season.

The video boards will each be approximately 100 feet wide and 30 feet high; that's a few feet larger in each direction than the video boards in Philly, and taller than the boards in Baltimore...

Here is what it is supposed to look like.

Redskins Chief Operating Officer David Donovan says "I can guarantee this, these boards will be among the best in any sports stadium, anywhere." Of course they will. "Among the best" is such a vague description of what they will be that almost anything that works marginally better than the lame screens currently at FedEx could fit the definition.
