A few things of note for people going to the game.

I'm digging the new video board in the south endzone. Looks like they moved the old one to the north. But the problem with this giant board is when they do the "Where's Big Red" segment and they have a cheerleader giving hints.. HELLO BOOBIES!!!!!!!

Anyone know what the big banner is above it that's being held secret?

No more large beers at the general concession stands. We got the last two at the Minney game at the stand behind 107, but figured they ran out of cups. But, talking to the servers this game, large beers are no more.

Anyone notice the Cox add that flashed across advertising gigabit internet coming to AZ? SWEET!!

There was one more item, but i forget now..

Why no more big beers? Strange. Also, I heard they upped their wifi in the stadium so we can all get on our phones between plays! It was sooooo bad in there to try and get internet reception the past few years

I'm guessing the banner has something to do with the Kurt Warner ring induction ceremony

Hope the concessions aren't run by Centerplate....

....you see repeatedly kicking and yanking this dog all over the place—at one point lifting the dog up off the ground by the leash—is Desmond Hague, CEO of Centerplate. If you've ever been to a sporting event, you've probably bought something from him; Centerplate is a food service company that makes the over-priced food in many of the stadiums in North America.

Not sure if it's been mentioned by anyone but by the Monday night game, there should be new LED lights installed in the stadium. Last I heard, the original (sodium?) lights will remain in place as a back up and incase the LEDs produce a weird look on TV but the LEDs will pull about half the load of the original lights and will be instant on in case of a power outage, unlike the traditional lights that have a re-strike or warm up time.

I wasn't sure if they started construction on them yet, figured not and I haven't heard this being promoted much.

Most stadiums still do the High Pressure Sodium, some have added the Metal Hallide as it's spectrum is less intrusive to the high def. I haven't heard about the LEDs in stadiums but it makes sense.

I noticed a weird contrast between the skin tones and the uniforms in the Houston game. I haven't watched the Bengals game yet to compare. Anyone else notice this?

I did on TV, but I thought it was due to the ABC15 boradcast because it wasn't a weird contrast from every angle. Looked hyper-stylized from the on-field cameras.

I did not notice this on the SNF broadcast at all.

I noticed the same thing. It seemed like it was the endzone cameras. (Watch nearly any touchdown replay from the endzone camera) the colors were off for sure

Heck yeah, and they are pimping my favorite girl Lindsay -- she did the Where is Big Red segment the first game as was Cheerleader of the Week this past game.
