Scoreboards

[CardinalAndGold]

From scouring Kansas' Scout board, I see they installed a new scoreboard in their stadium.

Is there talk of us upgrading our scoreboard anytime soon? KU's is like 3x as big as their old one.

Wonder what that scoreboard looks like next the scoreboards at Jerry Jone's palace!
:laugh:

Since we just got one in the past decade and that the bowling is coming "soon" we won't be upgrading before then.

Here are some pictures of the new scoreboard Mizzou put in before last season.

From wikipedia
"In 2009, the university installed a new $5 million 30x80 foot north end zone scoreboard with updated video capabilities and new sound system. The new north end zone video board and audio upgrades replaced the current 10 year old equipment."


Here are some other Big 12 Scoreboards. Large new scoreboards seem to be the recent trend in the Big 12.

Texas A&M

Nebraska

Kansas State

Oklahoma

I was at the Missouri game last year and they have a really nice scoreboard.

Nice that KU's field is still named for a criminal.

I still think a sound system would be a better investment.

I agree, with the sound system. Man, I always thought ours was pretty nice until I saw the other schools scoreboards.

Definitely. Our scoreboard is far less of a problem than that damn thing.

That being said, I'd prefer if they took care of both at the same time...

Here is a good link. When we do expand we should make our scoreboard 1 foot bigger than Nebraska's

is imagining how good neil diamond could sound on a new sound system...

Daktronics offers video and audio as a package deal, which I believe is what KSU and MU went with in their recent installations.

There's no reason to shell out any cash to upgrade before a south end zone project is officially announced. Otherwise you end up doing it twice and wasting money.

Personally, I'm wondering why the picture on the Mizzou scoreboard at the top says Bear country. In progress highlights, maybe? If you look at in the background, you can see the first few letters in Baylor as well.

The scoreboard video screen is showing highlights of the MU-Baylor Bears game...in Bear Country, which is apparently what they call Waco, TX.

Highlights from their '08 game at Baylor, or possibly part of a team entrance video (given that there's 2 minutes left before kickoff). Mizzou is in the white unis in the video.

Would a Jumbotron be washed out by sun if it was on top of the Jake?

 

[wcamnclone]

We have a smaller scoreboard than Kent St.? WOW, that is surprising! I know we dont have a huge scoreboard, but smaller than Kent St?

I think you can get anti-glare screens because I think the north endzone at Soldier Field has one...but my guess is that you pay for it.

Additionally, that's just a brutal place to put it. It'd look awful. Redo the south endzone and leave it where it's at, just bigger.

It's called a 'highlight' and I think that they played it to show the previous years' games won...next question dude!
