Re: Old scoreboard
I was hoping there’d be some magical flipping of the switch and it would light up. The sound was crisp and clear. Put 20k in the house and I think it’ll be ok. Fingers crossed. I’m expecting to be blown away.

Re: Old scoreboard
I was the same way. I was thinking; “Okay, they are probably going to surprise us at the end of the game by playing some hype video on the big board” but they never did.

Portions are. The PA announcer was coming through the scoreboard but all the music was coming from a DJ that was playing on the sideline.Helenabobcat wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 5:42 pmI don't think the new sound system is even hooked up yet.

Re: Old scoreboard
I haven't seen it in person, but I still can't get over the idea that it's roughly the same size as a basketball court (This was debated in another thread). That seems pretty spectacular to me. lollutecat wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 5:29 amHere's what I'll say about that. I didn't notice it was from the big board. It sounded natural and it didn't sound like it sucked. All of which are great I think.
I like it!
Am I the only one that thinks it's so big it looks small? In person. I don't know how else to describe it. Or maybe it's because you don't have stands for a frame of reference.
Great time to be a BOBCAT!

Re: Old scoreboard
That makes sense. I was thinking the PA sounded great but the music was coming from field level. I assumed none of it was working, and the PA system just sounded good because it wasn't coming through blown speakers, plus there were about 2000 people there. By the way, I've been to many regular season games in that stadium with less fans than Saturday.snarf wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 5:58 pmPortions are.

Re: Old scoreboard
Not the only one. But when comparing the photo of the old and new scoreboard side by side, it's massive. I assume when everyone sees it fully functional in the fall it will finally sink in.
The movie screens at Silver Bow Drive In near Butte are 30' x 60'.

Re: Old scoreboard
How much of the screen is going to be utilized? If we use the basketball size as reference, will the picture be baseline to baseline? Or will it be top of the key to top of the key? Will it be broken into sections? Has this been discussed and I need to reread the entire thread?

Re: Old scoreboard
It has been discussed and I'm not going back to look for details, but it is something like FT line to FT line will be used for video/pictures, and each end will mostly be used for advertising. I'm guessing it has the capability to make one big picture on the whole screen but it will not be utilized that way for the most part.94VegasCat wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2024 3:30 amHow much of the screen is going to be utilized?

Re: Old scoreboard
I'm interested to see how they utilize the screen to show the score and game information, there are some pretty cool things that could be implemented with a screen that large like live, updating player stats in addition to the traditional time/score/down/yardage/TO information.kennethnoisewater wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2024 7:31 amIt has been discussed and I'm not going back to look for details, but it is something like FT line to FT line will be used for video/pictures, and each end will mostly be used for advertising.

Re: Old scoreboard
That's what they do on a very similar board at SDSU. I found myself looking at it on almost every play. Really good info. Idaho actually has it too, but it's way up in the ceiling. I like being able to see those stats along with the standard scoreboard info.MSU01 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2024 7:36 amI'm interested to see how they utilize the screen to show the score and game information, there are some pretty cool things that could be implemented with a screen that large like live, updating player stats in addition to the traditional time/score/down/yardage/TO information.kennethnoisewater wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2024 7:31 amIt has been discussed and I'm not going back to look for details, but it is something like FT line to FT line will be used for video/pictures, and each end will mostly be used for advertising.

With how our stadium is set up they'd have to go on the top of the east side bleachers maybe?
Got it!

Re: Old scoreboard
Looks like the framing around the board is mostly finished. I also saw the play clock is on for some reason. The little board was lit up the other day as well. I know the Cats missed a day or two of practice during Spring ball due to the weather but I figured they'd have made those days up by now. Could be something else going on too, just strange to see the clock up and running on a Saturday.

Re: Old scoreboard
Sounds like they are testing speakers today. Sounds pretty good from the bottom of the hill behind the track. Can hear the music inside my office!
