A few days ago, I stopped at the Student Lots to see what sort of view they would have of the new videoboard. Attached are some photos.
Essentially, you can see the new videoboard from nearly everywhere in the G2 lot (the corner lot) and also from the north end of the G3 lot (the lot south of the corner lot).
These lots usually have a lot of folks who come for the tailgating and never come in for the game. Now they get to watch the game anyway.
Thank you for the pictures. Hopefully they will not be able to see it for long...Quote:

Yes you can see it, but it won't exactly be easy to see. And once you start packing some vehicles in there, it will disrupt the view even more.
you people worry about other people too much
I would hope students would want to enjoy the game day experience by actually going to the game. Like the above comment, once you get cars, buses and flags flying around people hopefully won't see it as good.
Dont you dare tell me what I can do with the ticket I paid for.Quote:

plus the students will be siting closer to the board than any other section in the stadium. It will look even bigger once they are inside ;)
The new board will look great from my south enzone seat:yes:Quote:

In other words, if that's good enough, you weren't going to find your way into the stadium in the first place.Quote:

I saw that big bastard on my way to CR on friday. Holy friggen crap, the pics do not do it justice. The people ******** it needed to bigger need to get a grip.
