I was not aware that plasma was the only technology that had burn in issues. I know its been greatly improved but has it been 100% eliminated?

I know this might be a real stupid question, but whenever the SEZ is finished, there will be 2 screens on both sides of the luxury seating right?

And OP, thanks for posting. This shite looks ridiculous.

Pretty shitty this is the best the morons in the athletic department could come up with. There has to be some other solution, but just like the thanksgiving game Alleva gives a big middle finger to the fans who also support this program.

I believe they all do, however, those schools do get more help from the university in terms of parking lots, etc. Whereas LSU athletics has to pay for that stuff too. LSU donates 7.5M back to academics each year and I don't think those schools do that.

LSU needs more donors and some of the NFL players to step up. Even 10,000 from a former tiger in the NFL would be greatly appreciated.

They probably don't have to. Unlike Louisiana, their state legislatures might actually recognize the value of their flagship universities and adequately fund them, rather than cut their budgets every single year.

That being said, the scoreboard is beyond embarrassing. I don't trust that it will change when the south endzone addition is done.

Two seconds on Google: 2012

LSU, Nebraska, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Penn State, Purdue and Texas were the only schools to report no subsidy money in 2012. Michigan reported receiving less than $260,000: $16,000 in federal work study funding and the remainder from the university to cover the salary of academic services director Phil Hughes, according to athletics spokesman Dave Ablauf.

ya know, i get it in the box, it is what it is, but in our CATHEDRAL you think they would say no, draw the line i mean shite put the ads somewhere else in the stadium, just not on the jumbotron that you paid MILLIONS for the HD capabilities only to use OVER 50% of the HD screen for ads


Top dollar is paid to be visible on the big screen. They aren't going anywhere. I'm sorry ads take away your game enjoyment.

I think the cranes look kind of cool. Everyone knows why they are there. Wtf tho with the double adds on the new board. Alleva needs more of a spine. Looks cheesy
