I think the UM gameday experience is more like an NFL game because of their tall goalposts. Their fans must be embarrassed.kennethnoisewater wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2024 2:34 pmMan, this is really quite a take. I've read nearly every post on this board for a dozen years or more. I've seen lots of complaints, and I've seen lots of gris fans come over here to talk smack about the team or the stadium or not having a river nearby. But I'm not sure I've ever seen someone talk smack about the height of our goalposts. And then to convince us we need to be embarrassed is really something. And there was one kick in 2018 that is the source of this embarrassment, allegedly. Or maybe it's just comparison. And comparison is a great thief of joy, my friend.CatBot wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2024 1:21 pmAgain, every one of us should be embarrassed by this. I don't buy the cost argument at all. The difference between the 20' and the 30' is in the noise on one of the capital projects. A rare miss from this program.BelgradeBobcat wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2024 10:23 amThe goal posts in grizville are definitely taller-as is the case for most D-1 stadiums.

Re: Old scoreboard
Okay, I looked up the plans and they are supposed to put a piece of metal to cover that gap, but until then........

Re: Old scoreboard
Does anyone know if the back of the speaker box will be covered with something? The reason I ask is it seems like during day games it will be really "see through". Yes I know, really nit picky but its something that has jumped out to me.
Also, could someone take a photo from above the student section/below the small scoreboard to get that view of the videoboard? I really have no reason other than I just want to see it.

Re: Old scoreboard
I know, I mentioned that in a previous post.
Is anyone else getting beeping signal on their computer when they get a response to their BN posts? My MAC just started doing that today. I did get an update last night, so maybe that's a new Apple thing. I don't like it. Took me a minute to figure out what the beeping was for.

I'm no engineer but I looked at the drawings and it appears to me that there will be aluminum plate across the back on the scoreboard, including the speaker box.CodyCat wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2024 9:48 amDoes anyone know if the back of the speaker box will be covered with something?

Yep, you read the plans correctly. Aluminum panels will cover the back of the board.AFCAT wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2024 10:58 amI'm no engineer but I looked at the drawings and it appears to me that there will be aluminum plate across the back on the scoreboard, including the speaker box.CodyCat wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2024 9:48 amDoes anyone know if the back of the speaker box will be covered with something?

Re: Old scoreboard
Not the best pictures as I can't be real close to the back and still see it, but here's the progress on the backside. Still a ways to go.

Re: Old scoreboard
I've been in the stadium and all around with this thing up. I think we're going to be impressed, obviously, by the board inside the stadium. But I think we'll be surprised how much it changes the whole look of the stadium from the outside. It's a giant, imposing sign, basically.
