On our way home from Sioux city this weekend we just had to stop by to see the new board....pictures really don't do any justice but I’m including one anyway from the south end zone basically backed up against University....just purchased season tickets as well for the first time....man am I ready for some Football!!!
AAAAH!!! In that picture the new scoreboard looks smaller than the old one!!!!
:realmad:
Oh, congrats on the season tickets. I wish I could still afford them. Darn kids.

The AD gave it a try but it was not a well received plan:
Yeah but how much of that would be used for advertising?
The AD gave it a try but it was not a well received plan:
Thatd be amazingness, but at that point you might as well just wall in the north end so its all enclosed.
Id love to see what that much video board would cost, lol.

I'm holding out for technology that allows us to use the field as a giant scoreboard.
The AD gave it a try but it was not a well received plan:
Oh.. is that it? I was hoping for something more, like a IMAX dome over the stadium. Meh..
The AD gave it a try but it was not a well received plan:
It's kind of oblong, you know, I'd definitely want the height to width ratio to be closer. That thing is totally throwing off my feng shui.

What about the wind? Wound that thing be like a parasail, or would the advertising weigh it down?
I guess it doesn't matter. Texas's would still be taller.
That rendering is invalid. The midfield logo is reading left to right toward the east side of the stadium. The logo needs to be reading left to right toward the west side of the stadium for the TV cameras. This is not a valid rendering until it is fixed.The AD gave it a try but it was not a well received plan:
imagine that.. clonedude ******** about something.. god we all love your pessimistic attitude around here.. :skeptical:

I'm guessing the actual screen which shows the replays will be just a tiny bit wider than the width of the goalpoasts. Still not too shabby, but nowhere near what it could have been. As I said earlier, the speakers take up at least half of the entire span. And then the ads will take up another quarter. So the actual width of the screen will be about 1/4 of the span.
It's better than what we had, and it looks awesome, but it had the potential of being HUGE. But of course, you have to have ads in order to pay for the darn thing.
Cause they will never show replays full screen.... That's just silly. There is a football game going on that you could watch??
Clonedude you are a Dbag. Here is the deal, while you and everyones girlfriends ***** about the fact that the screen that they are watching the game on has ads, the rest of us will watch the actual f****** game as it happens, and when Shontrelle Johnson busts a 70 yard TD or an ankle breaking juke, I will turn my attention to the fully used, ad free, gigantic, enormous videoboard that is 5 TIMES AS BIG as our previous board.
All the while thanking my lucky stars that ISU has such a great piece of technology to use despite the fact that we have one of the smallest athletic budgets in the Big 12.
