It's an obvious question that you obviously can't figure out.

Then by all means, explain it to me!


I'm still waiting.

I've already given credit to those with larger stadiums given that it's "farther away". LSU and Bama do them well with the corners.

But State building two giant scoreboards? What's the point? How exactly does it enhance the game?

One big one at the endzone, above the upper deck is almost useless IMO. It just shows your inferiority.

It's just space filler for teams with small peen or poor ticket sales syndrome

Well come and see for yourself is the answer.

Let me guess, you have one 19 inch TV set in your living room right?

Well fricker, we live in a world where tv' s keep getting larger, cellphones keep getting larger, sports bars w TVs everywhere So why should stadium expansions be any different? We are still fine tuning how to use them to make it better but having highlights, live look ins on other games before the game, at halftime, and post game, and bumper music w hype videos etc. make the game more fun and entertaining to be there and experience. Why do you have a corn cob up your arse about this anyway? Because we have them and USC doesn't? If much rather have a gigantic fat head of my coach on the side of the stadium. That enhances the experience so much better than two big arse screens.

Legit answer: the people sitting all the way on the right in the picture of msu's stadium that was posted likely couldn't see the board in that end zone due to the angle. The same with the folks sitting under the board in the other endzone.

I can concur with up to par. I sat in the endzone where the m club building is for the usm game and used the one over the new expansion more because it was in my line of site. So there is that.

I agree. That is exactly where I was sitting when we played there in 2011. The game when Lattimore got hurt first.

Since we are the SEC I always figured it would be "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" on a loop.
