I set out today to find out the true dimensions of the video board during seat selection (actually my parents seat selection, but I did join the MGC to get my first priority points :) )

While none of the people I asked knew the actually footage for the dimensions, It was reaffirmed that it would be the third biggest in Texas (which means at least 1500 sq. ft.). One staff member did say he though it was somewhere around 40' X 60', which would be much bigger than most of us thought. That would put us at 2400sq.ft (which would be #1 in the SBC by 800sq.ft., and bigger than the new SMU board by nearly 1,000sq.ft.).

After the selection I went out onto the deck, and the area in between the pillars appears to be AT LEAST three goal posts wide, and closer to 3.5. This would put the width of the board between 55' and 65'.

Sorry for the long post, I just figured I would give an update. :)

EDIT: By the way, the secondary video board in the wingzoe corner actually looks pretty impressive. It doesn't apppear to be much smaller than the video board we currently have at Fouts.

The video board is 50' across. They took all the fences down, so I just went out and measured it today. In a different thread, someone seemed to think that the squares they assembled the board frame with were 8' X 8'. That could still be correct, but my measurement turned out at exactly 50'. Lets explore both scenarios.

Scenario 1: The sqares are 8' X 8'. The board is 48' X 32' for a total of 1536 sq.ft. That is good for 3rd in Texas, and 2nd in the Sun Belt (if you count the 500 sq.ft. of video advertising space on the new ULM video board).

Scenario 2: The board is exactly 50' across. That would make the height of the board 33'4", and the total square footage 1,667. That is good for 3rd in Texas 1st in the SBC.

Either way, it is legit.

The size of the large video board is 32'x 88'. How much of that is used for border is anyone's guess. Since there will be no fixed advertising on that boards most should be included in the viewing area. The maximum viewing area would be 2,816 SF.

The metal framing on either side of the scoreboard is intended for signage. Hopefully that reduces (or illuminates) the need for advertising on the video board.

I think you mean eliminates...although illuminates does make sense when talking about a video board... :rolleyes:

      State of College Football

      I think that's his point. If you put more money into basketball, i.e. NIL, you attract better coaching/talent. It just seems it might be a better ROI when you have 5-7 players you have to pay versus the numerous ones you would have to pay in football.

      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.
