Correction: Originally we reported the flag was $1500 per square feet. The figure was a result of Hyde misunderstanding the answer to "how much did it cost?" At $1500/sf, the flag would have a $2.25 million price tag. What we meant to convey was that the size of the flag is 1500 sf. The story is corrected.
