Re: Old scoreboard
I have a pretty decent process nailed down. My seats are in the end zone seats, next to the band. I'll usually pick a time with 2 or 3 minutes left in the half, depending on what's going on with the game, who has the ball, what end the Cats are defending, etc. Then will start working my way down during a timeout or something. then SLOWLY work down around the student section, watching every play - and then pick a time to zip over past the concessions and hit the restroom quick... and there is usually not a line yet. Then will pop out into one of the stadium entrances and watch a play or two... and eventually end up on the grassy SRO hill and watch the last play of the half. This makes it easy to shoot out to one of the tailgates for a beer or two and make it back in time for kickoff. If I'm running a little late getting back in, I'll reverse it all... and honestly I'll sometimes watch the 2nd half from the SRO area.Camo_Cat wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2024 8:51 pmAmen. It's getting harder to make it out and back at halftime without missing minutes at the end of the first half and start of the second half. And I'm not willing to miss one minute of Bobcat football!94VegasCat wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2024 8:47 pmI’m too old to hump out for piss, beer, and piss again within 20min.

Latest weather cam update. Doesn't look like much work was done this week, at least to the amateurs eye.

Re: Old scoreboard
I was there the other day and you can easily see the top three catwalks from Kagy right out in front of the BAC. So I'd say 75% of the scoreboard is easily visible from everywhere but directly in front of the BAC. I think that's going to be a really cool new sign for the stadium. I hope they just put something really bold on there that you can see/read from a mile away.

Hopefully they can read that from 200+ miles away.

Re: Old scoreboard
Haha that would be a hit. The scoreboard is big enough for massive letters and I think we're all going to be surprised how much we love the look of it from outside the stadium...unless they do something dumb with it!AFCAT wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 10:18 amHow about; FTGkennethnoisewater wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 10:13 amI was there the other day and you can easily see the top three catwalks from Kagy right out in front of the BAC.

Re: Old scoreboard
This morning I’m pretty sure I saw part of the scoreboard in the Walmart parking lot. Was heading out skiing and a semi was parked in Laurel with a huge cage like deal with a big bobcat head on it.

Re: Old scoreboard
So from the renderings, this looks like it'll go dead center on the top of the scoreboard.

Re: Old scoreboard
That piece is about 10’ tall and the flanking pieces are a little over 5’. The scoreboard itself is 30’ tall by 100’ wide, so it’s at least 35’ tall throughout the length. The scoreboard width with trimming is 103’. So 103’ x 35 = 3,605 + 330 = 3905. ~3,900 sqft. BB court is 4,700. If there’s trim around top and bottom, then probably over 4,000 sqft.damnyoutuesday wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 10:47 pmSo from the renderings, this looks like it'll go dead center on the top of the scoreboard.

I really hope they have more speakers going up on both sides of what was just put up. Fans are gonna be pretty disappointed with the sound if that doesn't happen.
