What if we have a windy day?

What if we have a windy day?

It will blow over on top of the Jacobsen Building and then we will get a new scoreboard and new athletic offices.

Unless Texas hears about it and laughs us to the MAC......

Nope, nothing whatsoever, in fact, all the wires are completely exposed too. They want it to short out and start on fire as soon as possible.

lol

anyone have a recent pic where it's not completely dark?

No need to get snippy. I'm sure that everything inside is weathproofed if that is the way they plan to go about it. This isn't Daktronics' first video board. I was just wondering if they were going to put a top on it because that fabric isn't exactly going to keep out the elements and a snowdrift sitting inside there all winter can't be good for the electronics. I basically wanted to know how they planned to do it rather than "I know better than them and I'm betting they f'd up".

Looks sweet! Can't believe people are complaining about it!

Nice picture. That is one of the better views that really shows how big the videoboard actually is.

Yes. Anybody that is questioning this thing needs to looks at this picture and face the reality of how huge this board really is.

I was at the Shrine Bowl Saturday, and the sound quality in the stadium was already better just having the scoreboard there to told everything in. For a minute I thought maybe the new sound system was in use but I'm pretty sure it wasn't

Well since you seem to know, why not tell us instead of being a ****, dude?

 

[josh777]

Anyone else think they have overdone it a bit with placing the logo all around the stadium? Behind the old scoreboard, twice on the east side, twice on front of the new scoreboard and once on the back. Am I missing any? Just looks like a big advertisement whereas many stadiums simply identify the stadium name and leave it at that.

Did you even read the post? I'm sure that they HAVE thought about it. I was just wondering what the line of thinking is there...for curiosity's sake, not that I think they screwed up or overlooked something. I wanted to know how Daktronics usually does things for the most part.
