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?

I agree that it will be about 12 times that size.....

After doing some measuring and stuff with digital images, it looks like it will be somewhere around 40' X 20'....still hoping for a little bigger than that though. For perspective, the new video board at ULM will be double that size if those are in fact the dimensions.

ULM could put in drive-in movie screens and their stadium will still be a dump.

but that's a fun ass roadtrip that everyone should make. the stadium is decent, the tailgating great!

1500+ ft squared is just fine!!!

I would rather it be in scale with the stadium and not the biggest just to be the biggest.

I want it to be big enough to see the replay clearly, but not so big as to lead to people watching the video instead of the game on the field (like at the Cowboys Stadium).

Is that a guess or the real numbers?

If you go back and look at the scoreboard before they put the backing on, you can see the square components that make up the scoreboard. Those squares were 8' by 8' and inside the towers were 4 squares high and 6 squares across.

Ian: This looks absolutely perfect. I mean it's, uh, the right

proportions. It'll be this color right?

Artist: Yeah. Yeah.

Ian: Yeah. That's...that's...that's just terrific. It almost

looks like the real thing.

Artist: You got it.

Ian: When we get the actual, uh, set, when we get the piece,

it'll...it'll follow exactly these specifications. I

mean even these contours and everything?

Artist: Um, I'm not understanding it. What do you mean "the actual

piece?"

Ian: Well I mean...I mean when you build the actual piece.

Artist: But this is what you asked for, isn't it?

Ian: What?

Artist: Well this is the piece.

Ian: This is the piece?

Artist: Yes.

Ian: Are you telling me that this is it? This is scenery? Have you ever been to Stonehenge?

Artist: No, I haven't been to Stonehenge.

Ian: The triptychs are...the triptychs are twenty feet high.

You can stand four men up them!

Artist: Ian, I was...I was...I was supposed to build it eighteen

inches high.

Ian: This is insane. This isn't a piece of scenery.

Artist: Look, look. Look, this is what I was asked to build.

Eighteen inches. Right here, it specifies eighteen inches.

I was given this napkin, I mean...

Ian: Forget this! #%*@ the napkin!!!

There doesn't seem to be much space behind the far goal post and the wall behind it. Has anyone been out there to see how much space there actually is? If they don't put padding on the brick wall it could lead to some sudden, painful stops on long passing plays.

I would like to think HKS knows how far from a wall to safefully place a goal post. <_<

I do to but most places I've seen with short distances have padding on the walls. The brick looks so good it would be ashame to cover it with padding and it doesn't appear they are going to do that but I don't know.

In reference to the goal posts (which was the original topic at hand) one can hope that kicking into that North end zone will be intimidating for visiting team's kickers and quite possibly the fans in those sections can be rowdy enough to make it appear like the stands are moving (like these NBA playoff free throws). In other words, hopefully that wing zone can be an absolute home field advantage.

      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.

      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.

      I know, I know, but do we know yet what our unis will be for the bowl? Some people just have to know.
