Scoreboards

I don't know if anyone caught this in the Brooks article (I imagine most everyone's eyes were glazed over in fury by the time they got there) but I found this little tidbit to be interesting:

New video boards in Folsom Field are "fully installed" but have not yet been tested. However, he said a "premiere event" for the media that will demonstrate the "spectacular impact" the new boards will have is scheduled for Aug. 10. The event is titled "Your Name In Lights."

They will have to test them before that though and I will try to get pics when they do.
 
What are the screens made of? Micro LED's? I couldn't imagine LCD.

Why did they make the field scoreboard so much larger than the south endzone? What is this, a scoreboard for ants?

Yeah that^^^

Not only is the dimension 3:4 and vertically messed up, it appears the size is less than 1/100th the dimension of the uprights.....
 
I walked over to the north end and snapped a few pics. The board over there remains off, although as you can see, they have now removed the little scoreboard that was built into the west wall of Dal Ward. I'm not sure what it will be replaced with but I'll try to get a picture of whatever it is when it happens. I also snapped another shot of the south board with my actual camera (the first one was with my phone) so you can get a closer look.

Bohn said something about August 10 being a day to show the fans. Can we see a remastered 62-36 version or even better the 1991 Orange Bowl where the Buffs won it all?

Unfortunately no - the master copy of the footage would still SD. I mean, you could take the original SD footage and covert it to an HD format so you could show it on the new screens, but it won't look HD. It will look like SD footage on an HD screen.

Surface mount LEDs. Not sure who is the manufacturer of our new boards, but there is a good chance its from Daktronics: http://www.daktronics.com/ProductsS...ermanent/DVXSeries-Outdoor/Pages/default.aspx
