If you spend $1.2 BILLION on a place to play football, isn't the first priority to make sure that the structures do not interfere with the game? There is no excuse for an error like this. It isn't like a football had never hit the top of a stadium before. The bottom line is that he wanted his TV and did not care if it was in the way or not. He had an unlimited budget for his entertainment complex and chooses to ignore the basic needs. I am sure that it is great for concerts and watching HD television but it is a total failure as a football facility.
No, it's not. A correct analogy would be if the field were only 90 yards.

They were given dimensions by the league. They met the minimum requirements. I don't consider that ignoring the basic needs.

The screens are still awesome.
