Scoreboard

Yep, the video panels are being put in place today. Last time I walked by, the last one of the bottom half was being lifted into place. It's going to be HUGE board for our stadium. Very nice.

Just an FYI to a previous post, yes there is new PA system as part of the board. It will sit on top of the board and throw the sound evenly through out the stadium. No more ping pong sound. :clap:
 
Oh man. I can't wait for the Montana game. I certainly hope the guys aren't looking ahead to that game as much as I am. It's going to be like Christmas...

Oh nice. Are the two outside support beams for the sound system, or does the board extend all the way across all 4 beams?

I drove down there this afternoon and yes one small panel is up. Not enough to even bother with a pic. If this is going to be operational by the Griz game the process will have to speed up dramatically.

My thoughts too. I assume they've already been selling the advertising, editing video highlights, intro video, etc.

* I just had to edit the word edit. :lol:
 
In the picture above, where it says "Roos Field, The Inferno" is where the PA speakers are located. 17,000 watts with sub-woofers. :D
 
Supposedly the resolution is better than the board @ Wazzu, and that one's already nice and clear. I'm confident that we'll all be satisfied when UM comes to town in 2 weeks!

Mos def! Check your PMs
 
Just looked it up. WSU's is 52 x 24, ours is 27 x 15. Still, it looks damn good compared to what we had before (virtually nothing).

Here's the article from Daktronics, with more info.

http://www.daktronics.com/Company/NewsReleases/Pages/EasternWashingtonGetsNewDisplays.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The installation at Roos Field includes a light emitting diode (LED) video display measuring roughly 15 feet high by 27 feet wide. This display features Daktronics powerful 15HD advanced pixel layout for enhanced viewing at every angle. It can show one large image, live video highlights and replay, or it can be sectioned in to a number of smaller windows capable of showing a variety of vivid graphics, colorful animations, up-to-the-minute statistics, scoring information and sponsor advertisements with outstanding brightness.

Reese Court will receive a new LED display measuring 8 feet high by 15 feet wide, featuring 10 millimeter pixel spacing. This display is capable of showing all the same graphics, animations, statistics and scoring information as the display at Roos Field, but is tailored for the indoor sports taking place at the arena.

A Sportsound® 2000HD audio system, which will be integrated with the video system, will also be added to the stadium. The system provides full-range sound reproduction and delivers clear and intelligible speech. The 2000HD provides a powerful audio experience for the fans. Daktronics audio offers high quality audio systems that can integrate with dynamic displays in indoor and outdoor sport venues.

They definitely lied... not nearly as big as WSU's. Higher resolution and much better sounds system yes, but about half the width/height.

Well, now that you mention it, it does look smallish in these better pics. If you plan to do a "renovation" why not go a little bigger? More importantly, UM and probably MSU & Weber have us beat! Maybe we'll feel better when its turned on. :|
