Does the Daktronics bid not include end zone displays? The way the article read it seemed to indicate it did not.

I think that's misleading/bad writing. As I read it I'm pretty sure all the bids include endzone monitors.

This is actually a pretty good indicator that we will all get something we will love, instead of some piece of junk 1990 refurb...

Hopefully those who were in charge of purchasing that board no longer have decision making ability this go around

I really hope they do it right this time around.

If MO doesn't show....this will surely make up for it!

Welcome to Bradley NS! (new scoreboard)

Maybe I'm missing something, but what are you guys referring to by End Zone displays...The new center-hung scoreboard will still include displays on all 4 sides. I'm pretty sure what they are referring to is the small scoreboards in the two corners of the arena, which I'm pretty sure no one pays any attention to anyway.

It doesn't mean no one wouldn't pay attention if there weren't two new displays. Similar to NBA arenas, they could scroll scores from around the league/around college basketball while the main board focuses on the game at hand. It's also an avenue for more advertising displays, which means more money.

I see what you mean, but personally, I have never paid attention to them, whether it be Rivermen or Braves games. I just don't think they will be any different then the ones there now. Simply score and sponsorship.

This is great news, I may or may not have seen a rendering, and I may or may not feel that people are going to really like it.

Is this thing up and operational yet? Has anyone seen it? Seeing the new boards in the new BU facility really got me wanting to see the new boards at Carver and seeing just how much more modern they will make Carver look. After years of band-aids, it appears that we're finally enacting solutions. That's a good thing.

No they are not up yet. The board is set to be installed mid-late September before the first Rivermen preseason game (October 2nd).

Just so the video streamers know that the new board will help the stream.

Allegedly...

To me this is a load of BS. I've been to Butler games and Loyola games, which have no video board, plus I have common sense which makes me seriously question the legitimacy of this claim by the BU admin.
