16 in 16
Anyone see the social media post about the 16 changes in 16 days? Not sure what these will entail but it would be cool to track them here. I know last year we had the 30 in 30. The first one was kind of boring: The new facility will be called the "West Stadium Center". Hopefully there are some fun ones to come and that some of the fun ones from last year stick (fireworks, parachuters, fire cannons, flyovers, simba cam, etc.)
Re: 16 in 16
I love the idea, and I loved the idea last year as well, but it just seemed like it was very poorly executed to me last year. I hope that they do a better job following through with the changes they announce this year.

Re: 16 in 16
The first one was definitely a little boring, but I'm sure there will be some fun ones. I will say, the flyover last year was a bit disappointing, tiny helicopters if I remember correctly... But still had some good stuff overall.AggieVoice wrote:Anyone see the social media post about the 16 changes in 16 days? Not sure what these will entail but it would be cool to track them here.

I wish they'd give us some teaser icons like they did last year. It was fun guessing what those would be.

Surprised there isn't a donor name. Unless of course we are being funded by Kim and Kanye.dhilk3785 wrote:

There is a donor name. The entire stadium is named after the primary donor for that building.Empire of Dirt wrote:Surprised there isn't a donor name. Unless of course we are being funded by Kim and Kanye.dhilk3785 wrote:

I could def see them shopping the rights for the building, or segment parts of it. I.e. Lexus Club, America First Suites, etc.BleedAggieBlue0 wrote:There is a donor name.

Re: 16 in 16
I know Utah's new video board is quite large based on the numbers I've seen, but I would be curious what it would look like next to (or behind) our new board in this pic. Could one of you talented photoshop folks help me out?dhilk3785 wrote:

Re: 16 in 16
Utah will have the 2nd largest board in the country. I believe it's 4 times the size of ours.

Re: 16 in 16
I find small consolation in the fact that they paid YESCO for the video board. Up until last year the company was owned and operated out of Logan, then bought by Samsung, but still run by the Young family with a 75% increase in workforce and facilities in Logan in the past year alone. It is set to be the largest LED video display company in the world as Prismview. The Young's have been reliable large donors to the university, and gave us substantial discounts on our Spectrum displays and center board, as well as all the new boards going up around campus this year, including those in the football stadium. For those who don't know, YESCO made both the iconic Las Vegas cowboy signs and the more well-known Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas signs. If you go through their gallery, basically every iconic sign you've ever seen around the country was made by them. I imagine they'll still have a large presence at USU and continue to donate the money Utah and BYU spend on basketball facility signage, etc. to our university.ProvoAggie wrote:Utah will have the 2nd largest board in the country.

Re: 16 in 16
Ours is pretty close to HD Video std aspect ratio, the UofU board is the old traditional "square" TV aspect ratio.
Theirs is old tech - lame. What are they going to do, watch reruns of the Rockford Files?

Re: 16 in 16
Don't worry, they'll create a 16:9 aspect ratio for the video by filling the rest of the space up by ads. Hopefully we don't....brownjeans wrote:Ours is pretty close to HD Video std aspect ratio, the UofU board is the old traditional "square" TV aspect ratio.

Re: 16 in 16
So far nothing new for those who follow the program closely, but I'm sure there are some people who are surprised.

Re: 16 in 16
Likely just an intern not paying attention to detail. Odd to have a spring game highlight as the image and a score that never occurred during the game last year. We were up 45-10 at half time. The score was never 28-21.

Re: 16 in 16
I think it means if you can't go to one of your games or use all of your tickets you can exchange them for more tickets to a future game. Not sure how it works, but it seems nice for season ticket holders.
