LSU's athletic department is filled with a bunch of sell outs.

Damn we have a bunch of whiny bitch fans.

All these facility upgrades and high paid coaches have to get paid for with money and that money has to come from somewhere.

Can someone post a picture of what it looked like in previous years? The picture in the OP is how I remember the video board being used in years past (big Coke ad on the left and three small ads on the right).

See where the top stops sloping on each side? They added extra space on either side for more advertising (and left the digital portion in the middle as advertising).

You know a lot of the new space was for the new sound system right ?

The alternative, of course, is give back some $ to the advertisers in order to provide the fans with a scoreboard appropriate for a top tier stadium. But, then, they're just fans, and this is just LSU, so f*ck 'em!

Go online and look at the Michigan Stadium scoreboards. The comparison is embarrassing.

LSU had contracts in place before they built their jumbotron. What exactly would you have them do?

Recognize who is in the stronger negotiating position. That would be LSU. Of course, LSU surely has the more inept (or corrupt) negotiators

It is. It is also covered in additional advertisements without a reduction of advertisements on the digital portion of the board.

You can see that each HALF of the "scoreboard" has more advertising space than scoreboard space, right? That doesn't seem a bit off to you? Is there some economic conundrum that exists at LSU but not other rival universities around the country?

So they spent a lot of money to expand the jumbotron to make up for lost revenue.

I thought it was make up for the loss of a screen.

So much for the concern of the fan experience. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

ridiculous. Let's find more ways to extract from fans, because we are all OT Ballers.

companies have contracts for certain ad space. since they took down the south endzone board for expansion they had to place them on the other scoreboard to honor the contracts. once expansion is finished they'll redo the board.

First (as to your last point about what will happen when the SEZ is done) don't count on it. Second, the cost of negotiating a rebate to the advertisers for loss of ad space would be lost in the rounding of the overall cost of the SEZ expansion project.
