I was talking with Brian Tracy last week. He said they're starting with the Holmes Center project. I'd guess it will be a few weeks before we see significant progress at KBS.

As of last week, all the components at KBS are audio equipment. There were several crates.

I think it's TK I see posting photos from the Holmes CC video board construction on twitter...can those who are taking these photos post both football and basketball video board photos on this thread?

As far as I could tell, these also include the ribbon boards that'll go the entire length of the stands on both the east and west side.

They're prepping to put in the pillars for the scoreboard.

So, is the video board going to be rounded inwards? Based off of these pictures, the video board will follow the curvature of the track/sidewalk between the east stands and west stands.

The markings in the picture might give the illusion of a curve, but it's flat/straight.

I may have missed it, but what if anything will be done with the old score board?

That board in the HCC is much large than I pictured. Might have to move the banners around a bit to see all of it.

This is daunting task, exaggeration reported to me, or serious over engineering. No one found to drill a sufficient hole yet... needs to be 8'wide, 35' deep for the concrete and steel - testing hit big rock at 6' and they'll probably find water before 35'. What does this thing weigh and what kind of wind did the engineer work into those plans.

Rocks, water. That may answer the question for those wanting to lower the field.

I don't understand who the hill isn't being brought closer to the field. Installing the board where it appears to be going is going to lock that side of the stadium into the same track and field shape, even after we get rid of the track.

They would have to bring in huge amounts of dirt to regrade that hill. I'm thinking it's not in the budget and that the priority is going to be gettting rid of Owen's Field House and maximizing the building project in that end zone (rightly so, IMO). If our alumni would actually step up and donate we could probably afford to regrade the hill but it is what it is.

Can't move the first shovel until the track is relocated.

So we're continuing to piecemeal KBS I guess. I thought we were finally being smart about expansion this time. It isn't the end of the world, but I think the board will look strangely far away when the track is gone and the current plan is complete.

Good thing it's yuge.

The scoreboard in Scott Stadium at UVA is at the top of the hill about as far away as ours will be. I don't think our new board will look that far away considering its size and the fact that it will be closer than our current board.
