Jerry Jones built a giant stadium with a giant screen and is hosting a giant Texas high school football game there Saturday night. Just take a look at the crowd gathered in Jerryworld for the Texas Division-1 State Title game.

— Texas HS Football (@texashsfootball) December 22, 2013 Texas sure does love their high school football. So much so that, last year, only eight bowl games outdrew the massive crowd gathered there:
Only these bowl outdrew Texas HSFB 54,347 last year: BCS Bowls, Chick-Fil-A, Alamo, Capital One, BBVA Compass, Music City, Holiday, Outback.
