I forgot all about the new scoreboard. Anyone with any news/confirmation on that?

I actually heard from someone who he said he heard from someone else that it won't be til the year after.

Take that for what it's worth.

LOL

Not to hijack, but is having microphones by the cheerleaders so their voices boom through the arena legal?

MM is hijacking away....

I was amazed at how loud they get piped for everyone else in the arena. I think it is awesome.

Not sure of the legality.... but I have a lot of confidence in everyone involved that must know the legal issues... we must be alllllllll gooooood!

I know. Let's blame it on Les

During the Ohio game, a fan under a mic would let out a perfectly timed (split second before the shooter's release) high, loud screech. I think Ohio went 1-7 at the end of the game while that happened!

I think a perfectly timed (split second before the release) noise and/or coordinated wave to one side are the most effective FT distrations. (vs contionious loud random noise / waving baloons randomly...)

I was afraid when the subject dropped as quickly as it did, the "plan" fell through.

Just got confirmation from a friend who works for the PCC.

His exact words:

"Not going to happen until next summer. Summer of '09."

I think if they want more advertising and simultaneously create a higher energy atmosphere at the same time, then need to replace the stationary back-lit signs with a pro-style video ribbon around the bowl. (there's riim between the upper and lower bowl)

The stationary back-lit ads look horrible on TV coverage(all-white light blobs) and add to the appearance that the seating is really dark.

Completely agree and that would be amazing to see in there. We should lobby for it haha.

The recent discussion of the arena got me thinking about the new scoreboard......is it still going to happen this summer?

[jeffsu]

My guess is with the current economy, that may have gotten another push back.

Unfortunately, this has always seemed like a "believe it when I see it" situation to me!
