Didn't think we could get more elite, but alas, here we are.

[wabash909]

Is there such thing as being TOO big?

[sonofdaxjones]

What is this?  A jail cell for giants?

Just imagine the pregame intros and our gigantic Octatron going nuts.

those aisles are roughly 15 feet wide, so each side of that video board has to be around 45-50 feet*

The aisles are more like 10 feet.  Maybe less.  Still, that thing is f'n huge.

am i missing something? the drastic size change doesnt really resonate in the renderings. did they go another direction from what was previously released?

It's really not that drastic, the biggest difference is that the entirety of the new board is an LED video screen and is heavier so it needs a more robust infrastructure or as I like to say a jail cell for giant people.

look at the 2013 on the banner on top

and the distance to the white sign below it.

Granted some of that on the bottom is due to the slope of the sides.

the actual screen is what the pictures were of for the old board. the new screens are much much bigger. the entire thing is roughly the same size (including the scoreboard and everything)

[kslim]

yeah i got that the led boards were bigger but that frame comparo makes it look like 20 times bigger. just wondering was all. obviously its much bigger

I think the comparo makes it look 3-4 times the size

[SdK]

Not really sure why they didn't use the same crop.

[Shooter Jones]

hoping for a neat little powercat on the bottom.

the old frame you saw on the ground is only for the video board portion. the new frame is entirely video board.

That's what I said but the way I said it probably made no sense

is this the right time for me to bring up that i wish we were a coca-cola school?

The renderings are misleading.  The new overall scoreboard is more than double the size of the old one.
