Are the video boards different sizes? And from one angle there is a big gap between the video board and seating...I wish it were more seamless, plus it looks very tilted inward/forward toward the stands....is this an illusion from the angle the pic is taken?

Are you aware of any other LED ribbon boards going in? What about SEC team flags, SEC titles, etc?

Huh? They will be identical. The one on the right is still missing the top to make it match the one on the left. I don't see a tilt

Lol. Why does that 55" TV look so small on that wall?

I've seen that in the renderings, but in these pics it looks like that hasn't even been touched.

Ribbon boards start off as a great idea but ALWAYS degenerate into ad boards 80% of the time...you can literally watch them for 10 mins. + and never see the top 20 scores or updates on games of local/regional interest...a total waste of time !
IF, they would at least run scores/updates at the beginning or end of quarters, they might be more useful...but, such a fan friendly concept, would never dawn on the LSU ad selling corps

I love when ProductOfNOLA busts up in these threads and kicks people in the mouth with his knowledge on the project.

why in the world do we have to do that?

Is't that crazy expensive to resod Tiger Stadium?

How many 100k's is that?

I thought we hired one of the best superintendents to keep the sod pristine..

Because for 5-6 days there's a 50,000lb stage sitting on it along with a hard plastic puzzle floor, and another 5,000 people walking on it.

The concert production company pays for the new field.
