JTS Improvements - Want More

At the 11:05 mark is he saying the south board is getting replaced too?

 

[jonnyb21]

Yes, but I don’t think it goes all the way to the ends like the NEZ. It’ll be replaced, but in its current size.
Somebody correct me if I’m wrong.

Correct. The original bid had for both the North AND South endzones to receive full width replacements but with all the NIL stuff that shook out the past 12-18 months and the additional $20 million dollars the Athletic Department needed to come up with, they scaled back the South End Zone board to existing size. Would have been super cool to have both boards be full width but just wasn't in the cards.

Correct. Same size but upgraded quality.

So is the South end zone video board going to be bigger too?

Love what they are doing to the football stadium. Wish they would start doing some outside Hilton upgrades to make it look better.

Probably going to have to wait a while on that unfortunately given the landscape of college athletics. Unless you have a few million dollars laying around you’d like to contribute.

Yeah was going to happen I think but this $20 million a year thing appears to have gotten in the way.

Next you’re going to tell us there’s not going to be an expanded press box now!!!

yeah, i think these video boards were simply a necessity replacement item given the north board was very overdue for a replacement and the SEZ was 10 years old so nearing the end of its lifespan as well.

New things, even sorely needed ones like the hilton concourse improvements, will be awhile.

Let me check my bank account. Ummm after further review Hilton stays how it is.

Give Tyrese a call. He may have a few bucks to chip in.
