that's pretty awesome. though, like most universities it will be used for 95% ads and 5% replays and score updates.

Nice!! Very sharp picture. Huge improvement over the old grainy picture. Good job Grizzlies!

I hear ya. Especially considering Learfield got the new screen.. How generous of them.. ha! Thre two side boards will both be LED ad boards - so hopefully the promo stuff is kept to a minimum. Wishful thinking, as we all know Learfield will milk the ****** out of their new "donation".

I don't think people care that much. There's not much football related content to put up there and most people aren't paying attention. It's a great recruiting tool though. When a recruit comes in they put them on the screen and announce them like they're in the starting lineup.

So when is Learfield going to buy us a new video board!?

They don't own ours.

Why does that stop them from buying one

Why don't they buy one for any of the 100's of schools they work with?

I think it goes back to when Learfield was just starting and took over media rights in missoula. In that deal they took over ownership of the original grizvision. I guess we could have made the same deal when our videoboard was built. But it has to be paid for somehow whether it's out of pocket or out of the media rights.

Ya..... No idea as to whether it's a good, bad or indifferent thing. Just wondered about facts and if learfield offered us something similar.

I hear there is high demand for bail bonds and marijuana ads. Probably very effective tool for Griz recruiting.
