The video board is going to take over the entire hill. I don't think the rendering is doing it justice to how big it's actually going to be.

Like that score!!!

[ukappfan]

That's a little underwhelming.... But it will look awesome!

I think a lot of you are making more of this than you really need too.. I'm sure they are always discussing stadium expansion,track removal etc.. I just look at this AWESOME addition as phase 1 of The New Vision for The Rock!! Just sit tight I think Kidd Brewer in 5 to 6 years will look beautiful with all the additions it will get!!

I pray this does not happen, a bit of misplaced ' and "

I couldn't help but notice a slight similarity...coincidence or maximum trolling?

One of the potential areas for that much-needed premium seating is the walkway behind the hill. If they put the scoreboard on the hill (rather than behind the walkway, for example), that would pretty much eliminate that option, as far as I can tell. Or maybe I'm just misunderstanding.

What on earth would be premium about being that far away from the field. The hill is bad enough but the walkway behind the hill would be some lousy seats. What really needs to happen is to bring in some heavy earth moving gear, get rid of the hill altogether and bowl in that end of the stadium, bringing the stands all the way to about 10 feet behind the end zone, and the hell with the track.

I have a strong dislike for the hill. It's a football stadium, not the neighborhood park.

[vegattk]

Great looking board... Just don't like it half-way down the hill..

[DontPlayWithYosef]

Tear down Owens and put the video board there, add a double-deck end zone section where the hill is for students downstairs and donors/Yosef Club above with great view of Howard's Knob, remove the track for more seats on both sides and everyone is happy with 35,000 - 40,000 every home game & no hill - Beat Miami

No problem at all with the location, and there will still be room on the hill for a decent number of people. Why anyone woild want to spend the day on the hill by choice is beyond me though.

This video board was modled after the new board at Duke btw.

The wife and I had tickets on the East side against ODU. Ended up sitting on the hill in the shade.

Sun was brutal in the stands and we had just as much fun intermixed with all the drunk revelers.

There is one thing missing in the illustration that needs to be made added to the actual scoreboard installed...

"Elevation 3,333"

[appbanker]

I love the score on the scoreboard

[huskie3]

There appears to be room under the east upper deck for some suites. Don't know if it's feasible, but that area could be closed in for 12 to 14 individual suites.

And then there would not be enough lines for concessions/restrooms. Any new premium seating will be where Owens is now and will be paid for by the people who purchase the seats/suites.

Premium seating in football stadiums isn't about proximity to the field. When was the last time you saw a luxury box in the front row?

Either keep the lawn and line the walkway with box seating/cafe tables or bowl it in (once demand warrants) and put luxury boxes around the top. Either way, I'd like to see the scoreboard above or behind where the concession stands are now.

I don't think the new videoboard itself will be 66' by 96'. That would make it the 7th largest in all college football. I think that's the size of the whole contraption.

The current videoboard is 40' by 17'. Gillin said this will be four times bigger, so I can see 68' by 40' or something of the sort.

[ASU-FTW]

I'd be fine with the scoreboard behind the hill if the track was removed and hill relocated closer to the field. Bigger board is better but it'd be nice to bring it closer to the fans too

I'm not paying $750/seat to sit that far away from the field in the endzone. Luxury boxes and club seats are typcially at the optimal sight lines in stadium i.e. panther stadium and our club seats are higher but great sight lines
