Had a few minutes and looked at this bad boy. Also checked out the Super ribbon board over the North End Zone. That puppy is 12.5 feet tall which more than doubles the other one that is being taken down. That particular one was 6 feet. The graphic pixels are also much superior also. Can't wait for all the visuals along with lighting and new sound system.

The new scoreboard design looks great! Now just fill in that gap between the south end zone and the bleachers to bring the seats closer to the field.

Can anybody share any pictures of the installation of the video board/ribbons? For those of us not near Chambana we would greatly appreciate it.

The last time I drove by, about two weeks ago, the old video board was still standing on the south end. It looked like all the guts have been removed but the main structure was still there.

I was on campus Monday afternoon, the old SEZ scoreboard is still up. I could not see any concrete work for the new scoreboard, I do not remember how it will be supported.
