Dome Upgrades

They are going to be or is it that is what they're going to request in the base bid with an alternates that could adjust what the end sizes are depending on bid prices? That seemed to be the way they were headed. Unless they know for sure that their cost isn't going to exceed what they're willing to pay can't imagine this is set in stone yet? Unless bidding is already done?

Dammit,

That's 100 sq ft smaller than SDSU.

Who here can draw up what it will look like?

I was playing around and was trying to figure out what these would look like. My best estimate for boards that are 30 by 100ft would look like this. Almost exactly the same size as the old digital displays currently at the ends of the field. I think it's going to look pretty sweet.

Hoping the copied quote will include the picture...

But we'll have two of them.

Being a nerd I did some more research and just 1 of our boards will be in the top 40 in the FBS for overall size but since we will have TWO of them, we will have one of the biggest setups in the nation. But that's just overall size. It's not talking about HD. There are only a handful of full HD video boards in the nation and technically SDSU has the largest full HD video board in the nation followed by Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Since we will have 2 video boards, (and the corners) it will be the largest collection of HD Video Boards in the nation. Not even close. Well at least until the big dogs decide their resolution isn't good enough and upgrade. Auburn has an 11,000 square foot video board.

Now if they could just get the sound quality to match the boards :-)

Pretty much include the "decorative" framing holding up the current scoreboards and ads and go a bit wider, Think overall height from the top of the ads to the bottom Gate City Field "ad". will be the same though.

hope I can see from row T in the EZ...dont have any problems seeing the current scoreboard across the field so I think Ill be ok...feel for the people at the top, will probably be blocked from the other screen from seeing anything
