They are already halfway done with the Star as of a couple weeks ago. And I will tell you, It is bigger than you think. Stephen said that it is around 700,000 square feet and to put that in comparison, Texas Stadium was only 900,000 square feet!

It took many months of work to get the naming rights deal done, but we all know that Ford made a very smart decision. But now the question is . . . how much?
