I heard the install cost went way up so they were needing to raise some money before they could get it put in.

I thought the cost to install came in way high this fall because of the short turnaround for completion. With them having plenty of time to complete it, I would think bids would come in lower then last time.

I'll believe a new scoreboard is being installed when construction starts.

They better put one up for the scoreboard and indoor construction. I need the distractions.

Maybe the scoreboard should start on OnlyFans. The money might put us over the top.

They re-bid this in October. Got 6 numbers this time, looks like they say it needs to be done by July 1, 2024.

I know you're kidding. But that's actually a really good idea. Not and OF but some other thing like that.

Typically, a person is paying money to have things taken off a person on OF. In this videoboard instance, we would be paying to see more not less. :lol:

Depends on who installs it — could probably charge a whole lot more to watch with careful selection. 😆

Google it. It’s a family site, so it’s okay if you look at it with your wife in the room.

Its a site where fans can donate to see things they want/like. In this case, donate to see the scoreboard and sound system come to fruition.

Speakers that surround needed on the south side of the stadium. The one now in the scoreboard sounds like a blown boom box speaker from 1986.

It’s so bad. You can’t hear anything in the south end zone. Been that way for 3 plus years now.


If your left, you aren’t right.

The new scoreboard has a new sound system. From what has been posted before, this is biggest scoreboard in the FCS and I’m sure it has a decent sound system to match.

It does drive me nuts when they played videos on the old scoreboard and you couldn’t hear much, especially that hype video with Tucker Yates.
