Apogee Wish List Inspired By An SBC School With A Video Board That’s 71x79—Apogees Is 27x47

[PlummMeanGreen]

A wish project for down the road? 
(That SBC school is Georgia State). 
•••Would our present larger video board fit where our smaller one is now located?

They did according to the article.  

Below is University of Utah of the PAC 12 & their scoreboard which looks to be 3/4’th the size as their entire end zone seating

While facility improvements are nice, and our have greatly improved, if extra money is available let's pool it for assistant coaches pay.

Just 10 minutes from UNT’s Apogee Stadium off I35-W is Texas Motor Speedway & it’s video board.

Wish list—Not a priority.  I’d say a new (larger) video board is way down on  the list of priorities.

Lubbers?
 Unbelievable video board for a D-2 school.

Your heart is the right place, but let's not hand any of it out until we are more comfortable with our assistants. 😉

Not saying every assistant but the ones we want to try and keep - Mike Bloesch for example

Why do we need a bigger scoreboard?  

[meaniegreenie]

Adding huge vidja boards to our endzones might help our DB's find the ball since they're always facing that direction anyway.

We don’t.  I probably just need a new prescription for glasses or binoculars.

Note @PlummMeanGreen was talking about the corner scoreboard.   Plan is to tear down the current big scoreboard and put smaller scoreboards in all 4 corners of the stadium.  
 

As long as we are on the subject of wishlists, I’d like to see the ribbon board put in along the front edge of the club level seats.   According to the blueprints, Apogee was pre-wired for it.

I'm against the four "mini" video boards in the corners of Apogee.  Ridiculous.  Re-do the Wingzone, make it traditional, and place a new, bigger video board on top of it.

Now wasn’t there something that forced UNT to not place a score board at the top of the wing? But I agree. 4 smaller ones make absolute zero sense, but that was also 3 years ago so times might’ve changed.

I’ve been saying that for a while and it would make Apogee even nicer. I think the main scoreboard is fine.

It may be fine, but it’s going away to make room for an athletic center expansion, including a party porch overlooking the south end zone for the lettermen, as I recall.

Would love to see a rendering of what that Athletic Center expansion would look like.  Looks like 500 could easily watch a game from there. For perspective the Green Brigade has about 400 members.
