If you're building something, you need to make sure it is done properly. Building regulations are often set low in any type of construction, they're a minimum recommendation.

If every builder followed every regulation exactly with no variance from the codes set up by people who really aren't qualified to do so...a lot of buildings would be useless, unfit to serve their purpose and so on.

He spent $1.2 BILLION and could not make sure the largest component being installed in the stadium is being done properly? He couldn't (out of arrogance) consult someone who just completed a new stadium and found a flaw with the league regulation...then worked around it successfully?

I don't care if the league regulation says 25 feet or 2 miles...it's the builder's (or in this case, the man with the checkbook) responsibility that the facilities meet their intended needs for use...a punt-blocking TV screen does not.

I'd be ripping Snyder too if he did something this idiotic than acted like a pompous ass afterwards...luckily, our owner actually learns from experience and doesn't interfere with his team the way Jones or Al Davis does.

It was installed properly and the installation exceeded the minimum requirement. I'm not sure the burden is on Jerry to run down every new stadium owner and ask what issues they have had. If the burden lies anywhere it would be with the architect or the NFL.
