It is going to be great, and it is not too far off from what we were expecting.

For comparison - what is our current video board measured at?

I will personally cleanout my savings accounts to ensure that we get the extra 145 Sq. Ft. needed to beat out SMUT's board. Who is with me on this? I would die laughing if we had purposely built a board with 1,441 Sq. Ft. of space.

Sure, the big video board technology is great... Until a bird crashes into it and dies.

By the dimensions it looks like our screen will be pretty close to doing 16:9 natively. SMU's dimensions are little odd, but appear to be closer to 4:3. I guess what I'm saying is that our screen will show the same dimensions as a TV broadcast, where SMU's would either have to be letterboxed or cropped if they wanted to do that.

Kinda worried about you.

And who cares about SMU. They aren't even in our conference.

You rectify that problem by blowing the top off the thing and extracting its coal -- but only at a distance of greater than 1/4 mile from the stadium.

Does anyone know anything about the 2 video scoreboard....size, is it new, etc.?

All I know is that it is a better shooter than the 1 video scoreboard, but not as good a passer.

[MeanGreenHoops]

One thing not mentioned about the size is how close the scoreboard is to the stands. Some of those others may be larger but are farther away from the people. It will look bigger because you are closer to it. At least that's what I tell my wife. Wait, What?
