Should Jerry Jones be forced to raise the Cowboys scoreboard?

August 24, 2009 By jon

Over the weekend Titans backup punter AJ Trapasso hit the giant scoreboard at the new Dallas stadium with a punt.  As a result, the play was erased and they did it again.  However, if people are already hitting the scoreboard with punts now, it’s quite likely to happen again.

However, the cost to raise the scoreboard to a greater distance from the field will be around $2 million.  Jerry Jones says it’s already five feet higher than league standards, so he has no intention of paying to fix it.

My question to you:  Should he pay to fix it, should the NFL pay to fix it, or should they just leave it alone?

Here is a video of the punt hitting the scoreboard:
