YES IT IS BIGGGGGEEEERRRRR!

HUUGE! But couldn't they have put up exactly in the place (plus a few feet more) where the current board is? We're going to need that space for the Wake Game SRO's. Regardless, can't wait to see it in action...if they quit playing music and announcements over our NC BOD.

By the look of it, the pylons are butted right up next to the walking area, so I don't think a lot of the standing room is lost.

I assume the board was placed there for future planning (e.g. pushing the hill inwards)

There were questions here about the cost of the blasting.

Wonder what's going to go on the sides of the video board or if they are going to extend it all the way?

I believe that will be the new sound system.

Slow and steady wins the race.

One nice thing about the new board. It opens up a lot of possibilities about adding seating. For example sounds like we're now looking at Howard's Knob as a new seating area.

I was in town this weekend and stopped by the stadium to take a look at the new board. The pictures from the hill near the Quinn Center have made me worry it was going to dwarf the stadium. But I also looked from the field house up to the new score board and it looks great. It's definitely big, but not so big that everything else looks small. Another check mark in DG's ledger! That man and his crew are doing good work.

I heard they are building a new dorm facility inside the New Video Board.

[Rekdiver]

That's wrong. The band will be sitting in the new board

Shouldn't they have taken down the old sign before putting up the new one?

I say again, you must see it to believe it.

I imagine doing it in this order gave them more time to make sure the new board was done on tome. Worse case now would be to take the old board down next summer. Worse case if the old board went down first is the possibility of no board at all.

If they are not going to tear down Owens Field House anytime soon, I wonder if they would put the old scoreboard on top of it. The one up there now is very small.

It's being sold for salvage.

Owens will not hold the old board.

The addition to Owens F H was designed to have another story if needed. I know because I drew the structural steels plans for that addition.

Why didn't you just go ahead and add another 10,000 seat endzone addition on top of Owens in the plan?

Rode by for the first time today since they put the beams up, and holy cow, this new video board is going to be super impressive once completed.
