Videoboard... Bored

Just curious, but does anyone know if Iowa State makes more off of Hilton advertising or JTS advertising? That may have something to do with the decision (along with price) to put the ribbon in Hilton before the Jack.

The outdoor versions of those "ribbons" cost a lot more.

of course, the ad revenue for those might be more than what hilton brings in too.

But.. we probably have bigger priorities first... like the football facility.

6-7 football games vs. 20 MBB games

Works out to roughly the same number of eyeballs.

Then it all boils down to number of appearances per game, and size of the ad.

plus WBB, wrestling, gymnastics, volleyball, etc.

Indeed. I left those out on purpose.

There are typically a different group of advertisers for the non-FB/non-MBB sports.

I talked to Jamie about this topic a few months ago... he indicated that the supports would have to be independent of the Jacobson building and as such created problems due to utilities that are located below ground on both sides of the building...

I've also been wondering why we haven't seen any renderings yet. If this is going to be completed before next season, I'm assuming they will start work this spring, so the detailed plans must exist. I think you're right on in terms of timing the release. It may be at a low point if things turn south in bball for whatever reason, or it will be when football season ticket renewals begin. Either approach makes sense from a marketing standpoint.

As for the rendering in this post and the size of the videoboard, JP said that the Jake cannot be used to structurally support the board. I believe he also mentioned some fairly specific dimensions on a Monday call-in show during football season. He mentioned square footage and where it would rank nationally (somewhere in the 20s???), but I don't remember the details.

Yeah, I looked at the thread that discussed that, and it was kinda conflicting. He said 3000 sqft but that would be bigger than the 20-29th biggest in NCAA so I figured part of the board would be used for advertising... hence why some of the advertising is on the board in my post.

when are we going to see some drawings!!?? somebody has to know something right? i would think they would be starting the installation in March maybe??

Rumor on CR was that it would have the same support design as the practice facility. Basically like Mississippi State. It was also rumored to be 34 feet tall. MSU is 47 ft x 111 ft. for 5,217 square ft. That would roughly make ours 34 x 80 for 2,720 sq. ft., the 17th biggest in the country.

Take it for what its worth, but this thing is gonna be huge.

Edit: Also the old one is supposedly going to stay until the south endzone is built. All of this is rumor.

I thought Pollard confirmed on Applebees Cydeline Show it would be the 13th largest in the nation. Keeping the south endzone board until its bowled in is a good idea IMO.

that thing is bigger than that building..

the last official word was

Until we get the project approved by the Regents and are able to begin working with the company to size and cost out the new equipment, all information is clearly speculation. What I said on the show is we anticipate being able to get a new video board and sound system that will be 5 to 6 times larger than the one we have now. I also said that even if we were to get to 3,000 square feet, 6 times larger than what we have now, it still would not even be half of the size of the board at Texas this past weekend.

Ultimately the final size of the new board will be dictated by design (what fits) and how much we can afford.

But this was back in late october.

The video board was approved at the next meeting after this release.

yes, this is true, but we havent seen any renderings yet. My guess is it gets released sometime in the spring when media talk about ISU is fairly low.

My measurements were just a rough guess, but it will be around 3,000 square feet which will be the 4th biggest in the Big 12. They have renderings, they just haven't released them yet.

Someone should just email JP.
