Change Of Subject - Is The Turf And Scoreboard Coming Across The Stree

[stebo]

When the new scoreboard was built - the articles claimed that it would eventually travel across the street to the new stadium. Is this still true? Maybe this is a reason for not building the scoreboard above the Wing Zone? Cost?

Also - this might seem crazy, but when we replaced the turf - I remember the articles stating that it would be moved to the new stadium, too. I really doubt that this will happen because it would essentially leave nothing over at Fouts; but has anyone heard about these two subjects?

Basically, I am wondering what type of video board we will have over there. Same one or new one?

I remember talking about this awhile ago. I thought the scoreboard might be used as a secondary unit. I think the plan was to have a new scoreboard that was one large screen that would provide the most functionality. I also thought it wasn't feasible or possible to put the old turf in the new stadium.

I recall RV stating previously that they would take the turf across the highway to use it on one of the practice fields. This would make sense to practice on the same type of surface that you play on. They could then let grass grow on The Fouts track and field stadium for the field events there.

Then I think I heard back in the day that that Fouts Field turf would not be able to be peeled up and moved. I hope that was wrong since it is still in good shape.

And does UNT really plan on keeping Fouts as a Track & Field Stadium? If so, that doesn't show on the campus master plan which shows "no Fouts Field" albeit master plans can be changed.

Only until the new track an field facility is built. I don't know how far off that is.

That is what I meant. Not sure how high up on the list the new track and field complex at Eagle Point is so we may use Fouts for track and field for a few years.

Scoreboard and turf are staying at Fouts.

Glad to hear this...

I'm totally down with the whole "green" thinking, but this was taking recycling a little too far.

Cant see why they would go to the expense for this. Afterall they will already have a turf field and two grass fields for practice just steps from the locker room.

I didn't see how that turf could be moved, but why can't the scoreboard be repainted and utilized in some capacity?

A reliable source that I trust told me that RV has already met with the same company that created the turf for Fouts. So we should be getting new turf similar to that at Fouts. As for the scoreboard, another source that I trust has told me we are getting a new board, and it will be bigger and nicer then the one at Fouts. How much bigger and nicer, I don't know. We will all know for sure in a few months.

90 days no interest?

This isn't coming out for another few months but we're going with white turf and green logo, lettering, and endzones

Can you play on a white field after labor day?

I assumed it would be HD, but to be honest, I didn't ask.

are your shoes or sweatbands supposed to match the turf? I never was very good with fall fashions.

[ParksAndRecRick]

Personally guys, I think we should follow the lead of Boise State and get the turf in our team color! What say you?

It's going to be Winter White

Think RV could spring for an XBox or PS3? On a screen that size...wow!

Word has it that the new LED videoboard will be larger than the entire green scoreboard, videoboard, and green metal paneling all together that is at Fouts now.

RV said before construction started that the new digital board would allow multiple options that can be constantly changed thruout a game: all video, inset video with some stats, some ads with video and stats, etc,

[UNTcrazy727]

I'm almost positive that I heard RV say that the new jumbo-Tron will be the 3rd biggest in Texas (behind UT and A&M) and somewhere in the top 25 in the nation. This is only counting college stadiums. Their also thinking about placing a smaller screen in the space between the wing and home side.
