If Cauble's report is accurate, then the video board on the north end zone is only losing approximately 4 ad spaces. The video boards in the south end zone add a total of 8 new ad spaces, which results in a net addition of 4 ads in the stadium.



But gaining a ton of screen real estate. Why do people give a shite about ads on the side of the screen if they bring in money.
I get being mad about ads on the screen taking up 50% but jesus christ.

Because using LED space that could be used for dynamic stats or other gamecasts for a static ad that offers no information and doesn't enhance the fan experience in any way isn't just wasteful, it's stupid. Go to Auburn and look at how they use their side LED boards. You have quarterly stats, down and distance, conversion percentages, drive summaries, other games of interest etc. LSU has Drink Coke. If you want static adds, do what they have already done, use a lighted sign. Don't take a piece of equipment that costs thousands of dollars and could be useful to the in game experience and reduce it to a lighted sign that costs a fraction of the amount.

Here is a picture of what they have at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Keep a few things in mind, the ads that are pictured aren't always on static, they put useful information in those quadrants throughout the game as well. Also their board is bigger than the one in the NEZ.



Much more useful. Hopefully, LSU will get more use out of their scoreboards.
