I hope they keep it more minimalist this time. Our logo, national titles, and conference titles would be more than enough.

Re: Old scoreboard
I'm assuming the sightline of the back is pretty limited with the BAC. I imagine you'd have to be pretty far in the Brick parking lot or elevated to see the bottom of the scoreboard

Re: Old scoreboard
I doubt that would help much, the late arrivals back from the tailgates are perfectly aware of how long halftime lasts. It's just not their priority to watch all 60 minutes of football.MSU Toddler wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 7:15 pmLet tailgaters know how much time before game and before end of half time.CodyCat wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 7:02 pmWhy?MSU Toddler wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 6:04 pmNeed a game clock facing the tailgates on the back of the scoreboard.

Re: Old scoreboard
There's a group with tickets near us that will routinely come into the stadium midway through the first quarter and then leave again at the earliest possible opportunity before halftime. Way more selfie taking while they're in the stadium than actually watching football, and drunk enough that I'm a little surprised they're able to actually find their seats every game. If the game is a blowout, they don't even bother coming back for the second half. If they do come back, it's usually not until around the end of the third quarter. I've thought about semi-sarcastically asking why they even bother spending a few thousand bucks on season tickets every year, but I suppose everyone can enjoy football weekends in their own way and MSU will take the money either way!tetoncat wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 9:26 pmThen don't spend any money on it.

Re: Old scoreboard
I think you may sit near me. I see those same type of people very single game and some of them are my own relatives. I think most of their game experience is just taking a selfie for their social media page and getting blasted before, during, and after the games.MSU01 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2024 2:25 pmThere's a group with tickets near us that will routinely come into the stadium midway through the first quarter and then leave again at the earliest possible opportunity before halftime.

Re: Old scoreboard
I think there a lot more of these people than we think. I've got a group that sits right next to me that is similar. I'm pretty sure they have company tickets though. They show up mid-first half and almost never come back after halftime. That's better than the chatterboxes behind me that would be better off sitting in a temperature controlled coffee shop.AFCAT wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2024 2:36 pmI think you may sit near me.
