Will LSU ever do something about the scoreboard?

LIst of college stadium scoreboards

LSU's main scoreboard is less than one-third the size of the new Kyle Field HD scoreboard and ranks as only 9th across the SEC and 50th in the nation among college stadiums.

Other than money, is there some architectural reason LSU can't kick it up a notch? Alleva says "it's all about the fan experience", and the stadium and wireless improvements are awesome, but why has he stayed cheap on the big board?

You can't have a huge screen and a plethora of ads.

I'm sure they will upgrade in the future but before they do I'd rather them take the $10 million or so and use it to match the west side façade to the north/south ends of the stadium.

The video board on the north end of the stadium is an embarrassment, with or without ads.

For some perspective, here are a few schools with substantially larger (and as you can see, nicer) videos boards than LSU...

Baylor:



South Carolina:





Arizona:






East Carolina:





Illinois:




Wake Forest:


Texas:





And finally...LSU:

Only thing I care about the scoreboard at this point is that we have more points on our side than the other team.

I saw a guy who was visiting different stadiums post about Jerry's World (AT&T stadium) in Arlington. It has the 4th largest HD screen which hangs from 20 yard line to 20 yard line.

The guy said he would never go back because you can't stop watching the screen and if he is going to stare at a TV he will just stay at his house and watch it on his screen. If you watch a game the players, coaches, cheerleaders and everyone in the stands constantly watch the huge TV and not the field.

You can have a great environment at a stadium and not have huge Tv(s) for everyone to stare at the whole game.

The screen is big enough if it weren't for all of the ads

The scoreboard dont have to be pretty. It just needs to show Our team beating the crap outta the other team. If you go to the game to look at the damn screen stay home and watch it on your TV. More money can be spent else where. The scoreboard doesnt help you beat an opponent.

We just added 2 scoreboards in the SEZ. No need for some monster scoreboard in the NEZ.

What bothers me about our scoreboard is the game stats are so small you can't read them from our seats in the SEZ. I don't give a crap about coke, subway, etc. during the game. That's not what I want to see when I look up at the scoreboard. Being able to see down and distance however, WOULD BE NICE. They have that info at the very bottom in the tiniest font possible, yet you can see the frickin' ads from COZUMEL....
