New Scoreboard has Video

  • After Iowa State won the Big 12, a Cyclone made a wonderful offer to We Will that now increases our match. Now all gifts up to $400,000 between now and the Final 4 will be matched. Please consider giving at We Will Collective.

I was at Jack Trice today and was planning on taking some good photos but my wife forgot the memory card for my camera. Instead I took a couple crappy photos with her point and shoot.

Apparently there must be some truth to this. This is a quote from rebecacy from another thread:

JP has purchased a new WWII vintage air-raid siren to play thru the sound system. Fact!!


I really don't know much about rebecacy so I have no idea to the validity of that statement. It does appear though that he has some kind of connection to the athletic department.

He gets inside information and is connected.

Stopped by the stadium today after work and took pictures from the north and south lots. Also took a couple from atop the alumni building, These help show the actual size of the structure. They are from my phone but its a 5 megapixel so they aren't too bad. Probably could have cleaned off the lens a little.

What does the NCAA have to do with it? It's an actual warning system located outside the stadium.

Um, if you watch the video it's louder as the camera is toward the scoreboard where the siren is supposedly going. Not where a warning siren actually is around 85E. And I'm pretty sure there are rules about that, which compliance is needed.

That's definitely the siren outside the stadium.

It's a public safety matter -- it would have to be cleared by the city of Ames and other law enforcement offices.

Yeah I've driven by the stadium and there is a siren right outside of the stadium... Also that video is two weeks old.

You want a siren? Get one of these and mount it on the Jacobson balcony. Have a different celebrity crank it up before each game.
