Houston’s Reliant Stadium or- dered a screen 52 feet tall and 277 feet wide. The stadium claimed the scoreboard had the largest screen in sports. That distinction lasted for only a year. The Texas Motor Speedway, home to NASCAR rac- ing, built “Big Hoss TV” and claimed “world’s largest” status. The screen there, built over racing grandstands , measures 218 x 94.6 feet. It’s not as tall as Reliant’s but it is 9,000
