The bottom right photo has a good photo of the video board. Also, assuming all of the guys in the photo were on their official visit.

It's funny, obviously, the young man of the left is Ben Winters out of Kalispell. He is listed as 6-5, 300lbs, but looks short standing next to all those other tall guys. Crazy. I don't know the second young man, then it's Vigen third from the left, unknown , unknown, Schneider.

#55 is Vaughn Wirkus from Helena Capital. Vinnie Souza from Billings Central also had an official visit last weekend but I'm not sure if he's pictured here.

Looks like they are back working on the scoreboard again. Just amazing to think about all the work going on in and around the stadium these days.

Working on Saturday?!! As an aside, the Helena cathedral is undergoing steeple work. The scaffolding for it is amazing unto itself. I went by there at 8 PM on Saturday and they were still working on it. One steeple is complete and they're now on the second one.

Does that look like an active display board on the street side??

I'm wondering the same thing. Seems like they would just cover the back and sides with sheet metal and that wouldn't need to be in crates...unless they were doing some sort of display.

I thought there may be some additional back lit static displays for signs on the sides of the scoreboard. I thought I read that somewhere, but I could be wrong. The rendering isn't really clear.

What is an active display board in this case?

I was up in Helena last week and saw that too. Amazing stuff. They did work on the whole cathedral a few decades ago and had something similar but across the entire front of the building and the spires.

I think one that can be changed electronically to different images. A static display would be images that can't be readily changed. The plans didn't mention anything about another video board on the street side though, just sheet metal.

Found it, under 'additional equipment,' ...."two back-lit advertising panels." I'm guessing those go on the sides of the scoreboard, but I'm not certain of that.

Looking better and better. The curbing in the parking lot is starting to appear as well.
