New York, NY (My Sportsbook) - The NFL has issued a series of rules changes relating to the video board that hangs over the playing field at the new Cowboys Stadium.

After a punt by Tennessee's A.J. Trapasso hit the massive overhead screen during last Friday's preseason game at the new $1.15 billion stadium, the NFL's competition committee convened this week to determine how to address the situation.

The league's new ruling states that any ball in play that hits the video board, guide wires, sky cam or any other object will be declared dead and the down will be replayed from the previous spot.

Coaches will also have the opportunity to challenge a play if a team believes interference occurred and it was not ruled as such on the field. The replay official can also initiate a booth review, before or after the two-minute warning.

If the down is replayed in such an occurrence, the game clock will be reset to the time remaining when the snap took place and all penalties will be disregarded, except for personal fouls.

"We will continue to address the particular circumstances in Dallas, giving full consideration to the competitive, safety and fan experiences involved," said NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in a release by the league. "The Cowboys have been fully cooperative as we have addressed the subject and we will continue to work closely with the club on a longer term solution."

The league stated that the ruling issued Friday is only applicable to the 2009 season and postseason, and will be further addressed after the conclusion of the campaign.
