This is the house that Jerry built. Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, created a state-of-the-art football arena like no other. Cowboys Stadium will be the home of Super Bowl XLV, this years version of the NFLs annual celebration of all things professional football, and eWEEK recently got a look inside the stadium, thanks to Hewlett-Packard.

The $40 million JumboTron& or video board configuration& has 30 million light bulbs and 25,000 square feet of video displays. Meanwhile, two 48-foot wide boards face fans sitting at both ends of the stadium, enhancing their game-day experience. There are also more than 3,100 TV monitors throughout the stadium for attendees to see the action on the field or anything else the Cowboys organization wants to pump into various sections and clubs in the building. As part of a recent ProLiant Day event, HP hosted eWEEK and a group of other journalists and bloggers on a tour of Cowboys Stadium. – …
