Looks weird to me without the turf. Like looking at a cake decorated with candles...before being iced.

There won't be any turf. The gravel, plus yardage marks and goal posts, will be all there is. A national supermarket chain has purchased the naming rights. The Mean Green will play every game in Safeway Stadium.

McCarney likes the old school rocks instead of new fangled turf or grass.

I hate to say it, but I am going to be quite sad when the stadium is completed and the webcam is gone. Anyone know if the university is considering continuing the webcam after construction? You are talking about an addiction that will have a hard time to be replaced...

This!

Why would you need a webcam to follow a stadium that stays the same? Just save a shot when the stadium is done as your desktop background, and you can look at it any time you want.

Glad to see them up. It gives reference point for gauging the size of our new video board. Goal posts are a little over 23" wide. The space between the pillars is about twice that of the posts. It looks like the board will be between 48" to 50" wide and about 25" tall. Does that sound about right to you guys? Anyone with some inside information?

Even if you're right on the numbers I'm going to predict that it's 12 times that large.

I asked someone on the "inside", and their guess was 30' X 50', but they were not looking at the numbers at the time or anything, and made a point to say those numbers may not be exact. I know ULM is building a pretty big scoreboard (somehow) so any bigger than that would be ideal. Theirs is around 1600 sq ft. If ours turns out to be 30 X 50, it would be the third biggest on campus video board in Texas, and the second biggest in the Sun Belt...behind ULM.

Texas is way out in front with 7,370 sq.ft. for their "Godzillatron".

If we were to passs Texas A&M, we would need 3,955 sq.ft. That is more than double what most people are predicting from looking at the thing. That would be awesome, but I just don't see the space for it in the structure currently being built.

EDIT: I would love to be wrong by the way...

32 feet wife. Not sure how high. When I was in Rick's office in December, they had a couple of different designs that they were deciding on.

Yikes...hopefully that is the height...that thing has got to be more than 30 ft wide.

I hope that is wrong. Between the pillars of that structure is a lot wider then 32 feet.

      UAB (12/31/24)

      Memphis beating #16 Ole Miss the other day was huge for them. If we somehow can pull that win off along with the UAB win, we might be able to get some votes...

      Would You Really Rather Talk NIL/Transfer Portal

      I like this perspective. I feel like losing to a SBC team might be something that could hurt though. Although, to your point, not sure anyone will ever remember. For the people we really want to come to games, I think it does though. The casual college football fan barely even knows we exist. I think this game does more for NT fans we want to come see this team, but might not feel like it is worth it because they don't trust they can win.

      Uniforms

      Please don’t let them look anything like TCU or Iowa St. in their bowl games. Iowa St, whose colors are red and yellow, had on uniforms with neither of those colors. And TCU…just hideous from head to toe.

      Would You Really Rather Talk NIL/Transfer Portal

      I’ve watched way too many bowl games this year, so I’ll share my perspective as a football fan watching a game between two teams with whom I have no connection. 1. For the most part, I have no idea who’s skipping the game and I don’t necessarily care, though missing the starting QB carries much more weight than any other position. (I’m speaking to bowl games in general, not ours) 2. You say the games are meaningless, and I don’t disagree as it relates to each individual team, but…see #3. 3. The games are not meaningless as they relate to conference affiliation. The AAC being 6-1 makes a statement, as does the ACC being 1-9. I also think it says something that the mighty SEC is only 4-3 so far. If they are the dominant conference they are made out to be, they should be winning at least 75% of their bowl games, and they certainly shouldn’t be losing to G-5’s. 4. At the end of the day, nobody except UNT and TXSt fans are going to remember who won or by how much, or who had more players in the portal. They’ll just remember if it was a good game. I don’t think any more or less of any team I watched this bowl season, but I can tell you which games were good.

      I think this is most of the die hard's feelings. I always want us to win, but it doesn't move the needle if we do and can only hurt us if we don't. I do love just going to games, without the game itself.
