protip:  Sony "Jumbotrons" are no longer made.

It would make sense to go ahead and upgrade both videoboards at the same time, and not just do one, like all technology we are already a generation behind on LED videoboards even though they're only 6 years old.

Maybe they end up doing that when we make a lot of changes to the South side in future changes?

I always chuckle when I read threads on the Wabash about things like the sound system.   I have to believe many of the complainers are some of the same people who defended Weiser at every turn.    The real tragedy here is that the current sound system wasn't cheap, but instead of investing the money in that system, that money should have been used as partial payment on the distributed sound system the architects told Weiser they need to have.

Just another example of Weiser and company actually costing K-State more money in the long run.  We could have had a proper distributed sound system, and a much bigger North Endzone videoboard installed and paid for long ago.   But cheapskate Timmy Weiser (who sure wasn't missing a dime of his $700K a year in compensation) wouldn't spend the money.    There was absolutely no reason NOT to incorporate the infrastructure to support a larger North Endzone Videoboard when they redid the North Endzone.

I'd really like to see a similar sized south endzone monitor and the current south monitor replace the two mini score boards at angle on the south endzone.  Than do a monster board on the north/vanier.  Not sure if that would work with the setup of the new press box and ribbon boards.  Also I like the spitball someone had of putting an Ahearn facade on the Bram.

How the hell do you guys get all excited about these construction pictures?  I can't make heads or tails of them.  Some cranes, some piles of seemingly random construction  crap here and there...whatever.

You can see that 6 different monstrous steel columns have been erected if you're not a complete dumbass I guess.

to be fair, the steel columns are sort of hidden behind all that clear air
