Not a ton of places to put them, you're right. You tend to see them at the bottom of an upper deck.

With how our stadium is set up they'd have to go on the top of the east side bleachers maybe?
Personally I am not a fan of them, but if Learfield wants to put one up somewhere, I'm fine with it, but I sure wouldn't contribute.

Got it!
And I’d hate to see the strip video thingy. Call me a ‘boomer’ all you want. Would love to change the goal posts though … back to the dual post style that is!
We need to go back to dual wooden, two by four, goal posts that were placed on the goal line and players need to suffer the consequences of running into them, instead of this weak sauce, pot metal, padded single posts they put safely on the end line.

It's not dumb at all! I only know the term from reading this board.

I think we're going to be impressed, obviously, by the board inside the stadium. But I think we'll be surprised how much it changes the whole look of the stadium from the outside. It's a giant, imposing sign, basically.

It's too bad the new board won't be functional for the spring game.

Are you referring to the old new one, or the new old one?

I heard they are bringing the old scoreboard back and setting it up for the scrimmage and it will be operational.

Re: Old scoreboard
I don't know. I heard rumors of a new scoreboard last year that went away when it got too expensive to dig the holes for the new poles. We should all just give up some more money when anyone mentions a new pole.

Re: Old scoreboard
The fixed digit board is working but not the big board.
PA system through the big board is working though.

Re: Old scoreboard
Here'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.
