This looks so much better than the old sign and it's not even close.

Anything was better than the speaker cover

I just wish it had black behind it or something where you can see it better. I don't think it needed to be those big 3d letters that you can't see from an angle.
They may still do that, but even if not, it will likely be lit up to be able to see easier.

Should have bordered each letter in purple but I think it will be okay.
This shows up pretty well in the day.

I wonder what they're doing to the LSU on top of the jumbotron.
Thought it was finished already

Right, this is what Cannons looked like when they unveiled it.

I'm sure it's just something with the lighting.

It will look just like the LSU at the top of the video board. They will add the Purple inserts as soon as the lighting is hooked up inside the Gold.

Oh so those will light up. Awesome.

Badass. Reminded me of this quote from an old ESPN article:
"...there is a 25-yard-long sign that reads, "Welcome to Death Valley'' mounted below the pressbox. Those are the little touches at which LSU excels. Most schools wouldn't even put up such a name. Others would just say, "Death Valley" and leave it at that. But not LSU. Here, it's "Welcome to Death Valley." That's beautiful. It's like descending into Hell and finding a sign that reads, "Satan Invites You to Enjoy Eternal Damnation." - Jim Caple

Second row of ribbon board going up as well. Looks good

Is that the crowd at most start of the 4th quarter games the last 4 years.

So did the "Welcome to Death Valley" sign at Tiger Stadium predate "Clemson Welcomes You to Death Valley" at their place?

I think Im really going to like the welcome to death valley sign in the endzone. Gonna look really good.

don't think so. pretty sure clemson's stadium has been called death valley longer and death valley has been on howard's rock since the 60s. however, more people around the country think of lsu when they hear death valley, and i know that pisses clemson off
prior to the 2012 LSU/USC game:
Steve Spurrier: "Most our players have never been to Death Valley. That is the Death Valley isn’t it? Is there another one around?"
Dabo Sweeny in response
“I heard about that. It’s amazing people are interested in Clemson so much," Swinney said. "For the record, the original Death Valley is right here (pointing behind him to the stadium). In case anybody has any doubts, its right here. That’s the original Death Valley. I am pretty sure that is accurate, but I can see where he might have a little confusion. Our guys have never been to USC. California is a long way from here. I can see where there might be a little confusion there – two Death Valleys and two USC’s, but there is only one real one. That is classic Spurrier. When he is winning, you can say anything you want. He is one of the best. He has had more lines than anyone probably will. They have a heck of a football team I will tell you that.”
