Jaxson is going to have a whole play area on top of these things.

Yes they were running the west side fascia displays through color tests. If you look at the south ez wide view  archives you can just see the end of the fascia display lit up. Man, that one strip was emanating all that light. Those suckers are bright as hell. Looks as if they were doing burn in all night.

He may want to stick to the lighting structures. If he takes a dive off the score boards he may end up in someone's lap.

I'm sure bchbunnie is getting all excited just thinking about having Jaxson in her lap.

Looks like the first video board segments going in on the south ez.

Wonder how nervous Daktronics is. This is the first time they have done something like this, right?

Far from it actually. They are one of the leaders in the industry. This is just the biggest one to date. Supposedly the software that runs the system is very advanced. Board and display operators are to be in a suite level control room as to be able to feel the vibe of the stadium and control the boards accordingly.

Big deal. I can feel the vibe of the stadium from my own chair and all it took was some vibrating underwear, not a fancy pancy control suite.

Did I hear correctly that Khan was paying time and a half out of his own pocket for guys to keep working through the weekend?

Not sure of that but those guys were out there yesterday. The NEZ outside the stadium looks like it has a long way to go but the pace these guys are working at, I am sure it'll get done in time.

Meh....I'm a girl. Someone sitting on my lap doesn't really do anything for me!

Video board starting to go up in SEZ. I imagine this part will go pretty quickly.

I need to admit something to you guys. The link to the scoreboard cam is now permanent bookmark on my browser header. Apparently, I require one-click access to watch this thing get erected.

 

And yes, I blatantly used "get erected" because it's so cool.

East side corner boards in color test this morning.

The alignment / install of the corner boards looks odd to me. Seems like all they did was bolt it on top of the older one. Anyone else getting that impression?

They removed the old ones, added some steel framework to the sides to extend them. The new ones are not much taller but probably 10 ft or so wider and of course HD.

They look odd.

After practice on Saturday, I walked to the southwest corner of the stadium to look at the scoreboards. You can really see where those cornerboards stick out. Not sure if they are going to do something to make it look less awkward.

I see what you mean. Seems they could have centered them more in relation to that section.and even possibly made them a bit bigger.

It does look like it was stuck on top of the old one...
