You're both right...the video section will be 20 x 36; the entire board will be 24 x 88. See the original article http://www.libertyflames.com/index.cfm? ... 1&TeamID=9

[Rocketfan]

Eh, guess I was wrong. Definitely not the first time. Definitely not the last.

haha, were all in that boat...i will say though that 88 foot wide with HD capabilities is going to be very intersting....does anyone know if we are going to be using HD camera though? SD is ok, but to see replays on something that large is HD, wow!

[SuperJon]

The entire scoreboard is 88 feet. The video portion is only 36.

[Rocketfan]

The entire scoreboard is 88 feet. The video portion is only 36.

so what are they going to do with the extra 26 feet per side.....is that for advertising?

[SuperJon]

Advertising but mainly the actual scoreboard with the score and time and down and all of that.

from Chris' blog today:

—The new seats that were supposed to be installed in the stadium will have to wait until next year, I’m hearing.

BOOO

I'm not reading LANG anymore until he posts good news. 2 key injuries and now this.

At least the news on Aldreakis was good.

i think the 88 feet wide is the total length of the scoreboard, not just the screen. Though I wish it was 88 feet wide screen, it would look completely retarded if it was than only 24 feet tall. I mean, I like widescreen, but thats a little bit too much.

Lang better be playing some kind of sick joke on us.

[SuperJon]

Was the new seating ever officially announced from athletics in the first place?

don't remember.

I just believe everything I read on here and then go ballistic when it goes into the crapper

[rogers3]

I hope that they will at least use the temp stands that they had at Homecoming last year. I'm not sure how many they sat, but they looked a whole lot better than the cheesy red seat stands that are placed haphazardly around the stadium. Homecoming, JMU, VMI should all be well attended games.

[PAmedic]

so no one is confused: here's a diagram showing dimensional differences. Again, you're all welcome

[SuperJon]

Why is the 83 backwards?

[rueful]

why is the scoreboard not perfectly rectangular? 24' on one side, 20' on the other?

[SuperJon]

If I'm not mistaken, the advertising things go up another four feet and then over the scoreboard and video board will be a "Liberty University" sign.

[rueful]

oh didnt realize he was including the letters in the height. Now i see the extensions of the pillars going past the screen though.

[tinytim]

It's looking great!! I'm so excited! It's going to add so much to the game experience of the fans.

[BJWilliams]

I was riding into campus today and I saw the scoreboard and I swear when that thing is done I may hear an angelic chorus from on high. It looks that nice...

[tinytim]

I know God's blessing the university, but that's going a little far!

[bozlady]

Took this one late yesterday (8/12/09) around 5pm -ish.

[LUconn]

I'm gonna like how the white pillars look underneath. It will really jeffersonianize the stadium.

[vicfirth1989]

Soooo Big and looks so good. I hope it adds a monumental presence in the stadium. (which it will) I wouldn't like to see that if I am playing a away game.

Yeah because we've all heard how big jumbotrons are extremely intimidating.
