Yes, I'm going to whine about Tiger Stadium's Video Board

Why do we still allocate 50% of our already smaller than most school's "premium" stadium video board to static advertising?

I remember when we got that thing three seasons ago, the argument was, well we had existing contracts with Coke and McDonalds and they will go away soon enough.

Why are they still there? It seems like such a stupid fricking waste of video technology.

That justification was only to buy time for the controversy to fade away.

get money, get paid.

and I actually heard they'll go away for the 2014 season. I'm not holding my breath, though.

That's always the argument. I haven't noticed any other stadium video board that does such a thing, though.

Is LSU the smart or stupid one's here?

It helps keep parking and tailgating costs down.

Oh wait.

That video board is the WORST I've ever seen. Ole Miss has a much better one that us. WTF Tiger Athletics?
Oh, I am also surprised SVP didn't say everything was great except those fricking score boards.

Worst than the video board is the sound system, that thing is complete garbage. There are better set ups at tailgates.

You think our video board is bad? You should see the one ND has. They don't have one and the band stands up on the side lines the entire game.
Crazy.

They'll be gone in 2014.. Well at least the south endzone one will be for sure. The money is "allocated" for the big boy but money sometimes seems to be reallocated

They're both pretty terrible. Also, how hard is it to sync a video with the audio???

that's the catch 22; the time the fans want the ads gone is the most prestigious time for the ads to be on the board.

Which is strange since there are no alternative companies selling beverages within the stadium, so we have to buy cokes stuff.

Please join me in boycotting coca cola and McDonald's until those fricking ads are off of our jumbotron.
