The stadium experience will be night and day from anything we have had in the past. Really hope I can make it back to Logan for a game this year because this stadium will be rockin.

Re: VIDEO BOARD!!!
I'd say so. The wiki page on scoreboards has an average install date of 2011 with the oldest listed:Lightbringer wrote:Thanks! I was just curious to see where we were in the line of oldest video board. Looks like it was time for an upgrade, huh?
1998: South Florida
2002: Western Kentucky
2003: Ohio and Utah (but the U is installing a new board and audio system this off season too, as are Oklahoma and Miami (FL) )
2004: Miami (OH) and Nebraska

Re: VIDEO BOARD!!!
Just curious, when will this thing be up and running? Will it be available for the Independence Day festivities? Or is the scheduling is for August completion with the press-box?

Re: VIDEO BOARD!!!
I asked Hartwell about it at the Sandy Roadtrip and it sounds like construction is scheduled for sometime in July. I'm guessing that they will wait until after the Independence Day stuff to start on it.Servo wrote:Just curious, when will this thing be up and running?

Based on a tweet from Utah State Football, it appears they started taking down the old video board yesterday:

Re: VIDEO BOARD!!!
I may have missed it, but any idea how big the board in the south end zone is going to be, or are they just moving the old one there?

No one is allowed to know or speak of it because upgrades and new shiny things are top secret info.

You mean top secret as in there is an article on the front page of this site with all of the details?

Re: VIDEO BOARD!!!
Hartwell stated at the Sandy Road trip that the new south board will be roughly the same size as the current north board. They aren't just moving the north board though. It will be new.

Re: VIDEO BOARD!!!
Exactly my point. The only mention of the board in question (the south board), in that entire article is this line: "The south board will also be an upgraded video board."Aggieiester wrote:You mean top secret as in there is an article on the front page of this site with all of the details?
http://www.deseretnews.com/article/8656 ... tml?pg=all
Even though there are renderings and drawings of the south board as well, details about it have generally not been released. One could deduce from other public information, such as the original RFP that was sent out, that the existing mounting poles are to be reused so the size will not be increasing anywhere near the amount of the one at the north. That, and the fact it will provide a more clear picture are about the extent of what can be said about it.
My jab was more directed at the lack of details surrounding the studies and preliminary design work being conducted for much of our athletic facility upgrades. I understand not wanting to put out misinformation but lack of all information is just as bad. We have yet to see the preliminary designs or concepts released for the East Side improvements - yet they have been done and re-done many times. There was a feasibility and budget study done on the Spectrum upgrades versus a complete demo and rebuild and yet the results of any of this is kept out of the public. Perhaps an internal decision on the desired direction has not been made yet but is there not a journalist or beat writer that could lend a little insight into what has been done thus far and provide a little speculation as to what the various concepts and reports mean to USU?

I understand the south to be the same size as the current north end zone video board. Per JH.

Re: VIDEO BOARD!!!
I didn't realize how massive Utah's new video board was... has anyone else seen it? well if you haven't or if you haven't even heard the numbers, its over 10,500 square feet.... . But its not all actual screen size, they left a big border for sponsors, but they still have about 6,000 square feet of video board.

Utah has the 2nd largest video board in college sports. Only Auburn's is larger.

Re: VIDEO BOARD!!!
I drove by Rice Eccles a couple weeks ago and was also impressed by the crazy size of their video board. I do wonder if they ever plan to expand, however. That video board blocks off their most easily expandable area. Maybe the good doctor doesn't care, but I know their fans want stadium expansion. However, I was speaking with my friend who was in the U's marching band last year and apparently they weren't filling up their stadium for most games, which surprised me.Aggieforlife wrote:I didn't realize how massive Utah's new video board was... has anyone else seen it? well if you haven't or if you haven't even heard the numbers, its over 10,500 square feet.... .
