Hilton Coliseum set to have new video board this fall
- Thread starter Connor_Ferguson
- Start date
Board looks sweet.
Grumpy old man comment: I'm not a big fan of "kicked off" used outside of a football context.

Maybe I’m the only one, but I’d really like a regular clock somewhere visible.
Lots of music between plays when enough time, lots of crowd shots. No game host. Yet.
j/w - how old was the previous one?
Also, how old is the one in Jack Trice/how often do these videoboards typically last?

They installed the last one and the ribbon board with it in 2006
If i recall correctly Greg McDermott and Wesley Johnson team kicked off the old scoreboard, so its old. Or I could be smoking crack again.
Pretty sure we got nearly double the expected life span out of the old one.
Cant remember exactly the number but expected life is around 10 years.
I believe 2011 was the first season for the jumbotron in the NEZ and the one in the SEZ was in 2015 once that part of the stadium was bowled in
Enjoy my drawing (I am not artistically gifted)....my dream would be the black part would connect the two southeast and southwest corners together and then the white part would be the jumbotron on top....also see Auburn's, Jordan Hare Stadium example below.
Lovely surprise: the color matched sponsor logos. So much better looking in red & white than if they used the company's colors for each one.
Meh: I get that the interior screens are for those folks in the first rows who don't have a good angle of the main jumbotron, but they just look like Black Friday big screens mounted there. Wish they would have spanned the width a bit more.
Want to see: are the new corner boards above the tunnels operational yet?
You should have kindly prefaced this like Cyclones500 did and warned us of the upcoming "grumpy old man comment."
I accidentally misread the first half of his sentence as "Maybe I'm the old one," so my mind did just that for me.
