Yes. Yes there is.

I think it's mostly because of 2 things. 1 pieced together turf due to logo change and 2 the drainiage issues. He did say that the drainiage would be redone to fix the issues. He did also say several designs were being looked at.

If they go with Blue and Red End Zones I will think very highly of myself!

It'd be fun to go back and run the video board knowing the things I know now. The year I did it was fun but I knew absolutely nothing. Having two boards and today's tech would be awesome.

[Rooster Cogburn]

I agree Jon. They will be having graphic wraps with stats etc on the big board.

[Sly Fox]

Integrating the dual video boards with the ribbon boards will be a cool experience if they do things well. It will make the grpahics more immersive particiularly from the student side.

Thanks for the assist.

[ballcoach15]

I wish they would show the "out of town scores" on ribbon board more often.

[Chippy]

I'd like to see more replays and less students making goofy faces - just feeds into the culture of narcisssism of today's youth.

[SuperJon]

The constant crowd shots are the worst part of our game day experience.

We need a Kiss Cam while the PA blares out Dr Love!

[BJWilliams]

If we are going to do crowd shots, they need to be limited to...I say 15 for the whole game outside of using a few for going to break for the TV broadcast.

[ballcoach15]

I hate it when I look to screen expecting to see a replay, and see students acting goofy. That's OK a couple times a game, maybe even a half. But video screens are for replays in my opinion. The video operator seems more focused on students than the game on the playing field. Heck showing sideline shots of coaches would be better than a student dressed in red.

No. There are 19,000 fans at the game. Games are a source of entertainment. If you're upset with students leaving at halftime, start showing only replays and they'll stop showing up for the first half too.

[BJWilliams]

I think if planned properly, a good mix of crowd shots, advertisements and interactive games (among other things), can enhance the experience

[ballcoach15]

I agree BJ, they could improve game day experience with better planning. As it is now, I don't think they plan at all.

Almost every school in the country has the problem of students leaving at half-time. I wonder if schools have ever thought of providing a better half time show to keep folks in the stands. Some halftime shows are good, but many are terrible or non-existent.

I read this past season that Nick Saban was complaining about Alabama students leaving at half-time. If that's a problem at Bama, there may be no hope for rest of country.

Wrong.

Games aren't just for single men without kids.

It has to be a mix. There has to be fan shots (students and the Baptist side). There has to be replays. There also has to be advertisements. That's part of it as well.

With that said, there are ways to better balance it and add new things in that would help us take it to the next level. Our game day is great already. We aren't talking about going from horrible to okay. We'd just be taking it to a higher level of excellence.

I agree with that. I was getting at the comment about Liberty not planning their game day experience. Everything you see on gameday is planned to the minute practically.

[SuperJon]

It's not practically planned to the minute. It actually is. I used to be a part of that process. It's pretty intense.

[BJWilliams]

He's right. the band had an exact down to the second time on the scoreboard to be marching into the stadium for pregame. it was intense, but totally awesome when everything came together each Saturday.

[PAmedic]

BallCoach will be THRILLED with the upgrades, I'm sure. Bigger, Louder, Better
