Some southern schools have multiple boards to mask the fact that their stadiums are small....compensation

Other larger universities have multiple boards because the demand for seating creates a stadium sooo large that it is hard to see from one end to the other

More is certainly not always better.

More losses?
More diseases?
More Arkansas fans?

Yeah.

I'm talking about multiple boards. One is plenty.



Not for some stadiums. Definitely not for Kyle Field anymore.

You're telling me MSU built another video board because they had to turn around to see the giant one they had already?


It's sort of blowing my mind that you don't think this is a real reason. This is exactly the reason. So that everybody can see them. Sorry you don't like it.

Mississippi State still holds record for most square feet of HD video board with the addition of Dawgzillatron 2 in north end zone facing Dawgzillatron 1 in south end zone. And that doesn't include the advertising panels on the sides of both. That is replay viewable space.

I can understand the people saying "it's too far away" because of the size of their stadium. But turning around? That's the biggest first world problem I've ever heard.

Not to mention THERE'S NOBODY SITTING DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF MSU'S ORIGINAL BOARD.

Because having 2 big arse video boards is awesome and adds to the atmosphere of the game.

How?

MSU can't use the "turn around" excuse. They also can't use the "stadium is too big to see that far away" excuse.

A game where? MSU? This may come as a shock to you, but no I haven't.

You haven't answered my question.

Video boards don't a key away from the game. It's a silly argument.
