LSU's Tiger Stadium South end zone expansion one month from completion- LINK

quote:

Fans will also notice the North end zone replay board will look bigger but in reality will not change. It will no long display advertising on either end, opening up the entire board for viewing replays.

"We met with the sports properties group and talked to corporate sponsors who have ben extremely receptive and understanding to what the fans want," senior associate athletic director Eddie Nunez said. Fans will see a bigger video picture, a complete HD picture all the way around so we won't have different ratios."


Some other noteworthy info in the article:

- "The project is adding about 8,000 seats and the new capacity does not count standing room only."

- "There is 25,000 yards of poured concrete reinforced by 1,400 tons of steel."

- "The 66 suites are laid out on two levels and will connect to the East side expansion, which opened in 2000. Each suite has 15 seats and standing room for 23 more for a total of 3,518."

- "Illuminated lettering on the club façade will spell out "Welcome to Death Valley" inside the stadium."

What does this mean? That there were different ratios within the small area of video screen being used to show replays?

Which was always going to be the case, but the ninnies on here pissed their pants all last year because of the loss of ad space in the SEZ.

@MichaelCauble - North endzone scoreboard will get some ad space back, but not all. Where the big S is will be LED ads.

So, increasing the net number of ads in the stadium is apparently "what the fans want."
