Looks much better than before, but too bad most of these end up being commercialtrons.

I actually prefer ours to the UT one. The UT is just a big rectangle, but ours has a nicer border with our logo and national title years on it (I wonder how they're going to update it in 2010?) I dig the smaller screens on the side too.


I like how this man thinks!

Nothing better than the view of the thing and the interstate.

I drove by TS earlier today, and I just really don't see how that thing will be ready for the upcoming football season- got a lot of work to do on that thing before football season.

Sorry, I just had to drive by to check on things, and my sources agree with me that there is just no way on earth that thing will be ready by football season.

Huge upgrade. (I wish they had left room for more National Title years though.)

Ya'll, adding another National Title, isn't a big deal. Easily done. They weren't slow about updating the back side of the scoreboard, were they?

The coke logo was bigger than the screens in years past

I was at a Mitsubishi facility in Pittsburg where they manufacture some of these yesterday. They had one on the shop floor that they were getting ready to ship, and some guys were playing video games on it. The players on the screen were like 20 feet tall. It was pretty cool looking to see that up close.

The screen is a series of LED's. The cost is about $3M to $4M depending on the size (more than I thought it would be).

While it may look impressive now, you can bet that at least 40% of it will be ads.


If I had to guess I'd say the ads will be placed around the ring at the bottom of the upper deck.

Thanks for the pics. Hopefully, they will sellout only the two minitrons on the left and right and leave the middle STRICTLY for football!

Are there plans to eventually replace the one on the south end zone as well?

Will be some sort of an expansion in the future so I doubt they'll waste money on a temporary scoreboard.
