Instant replay at Ford Field

The replay screen at Ford Field is very small and outdated by contempary standards.

Will it ever be replaced?

Are you talking about those huge screens above the end zones?? Those are huge!

They better upgrade it because I hear the Red Wings are moving in there soon! :-P

What would be the point of upgrading the screens? They are already large, and besides, they never show any replays on them anyway--unless a play results in a touchdown. From talking to other NFL fans, many other stadium actually replay every down on their screens.

Huge????????????????

I think they're small and I'm not from Texas [[actually I'm from... actually the Detroit area. Surprise. ).

They do replay every play or at least almost every play. And they are plenty big enough. We don't need the ridiculous things they have in Dallas.

As an aside, I went to two Lions games in 2009 and they won both. They should give me a season ticket plan!

They are so ridiculously large that I find them aggravatingly distracting. But then I'm an old guy who grew up managing to watch football at Tiger Stadium without any replays at all [[imagine that...).
