One of the cool things they're doing is suspending a MASSIVE 4 sided jumbotron from the top of the stadium in the center of the field.
The Jumbo Megatron is named "Colossus".
Each side is 30 feet tall by 63 feet wide. In total, the system hosts nearly 54 million LEDs and 18 million pixels. At 6mm pitch, the pixels are grouped tighter than the large-scale outdoor displays in Times Square. The result: a glimmering visual experience capable of offering 281 trillion different color combinations, and one that’s 23 times brighter and 25 percent sharper than the typical home HD TV.

Awesome. Spend mucho dinero to go to the world's shittiest football venue to watch the game on the world's biggest TV.

The Jumbo is a good thing, because it's the only way 2/3 of the crowd - 100,000 people - will be able to see the game.

Looks like I'll be there ... we secured our places a couple of weekends ago when I was up there in the Tri-Cities area at the cabin. Twelve of us together, but why I agreed to this I do not know. I had to choose between that game or going to Starkville again, and maybe doing some gambling, so I chose to do the family thing with the Tennessee kin since we're all getting older. Plus a judge friend and his wife are coming over from Nashville, and a musician friend and his wife are coming over from Nashville ... we'll all get drunk and pretend we give a rat's arse about the game ... well, some family will/does, I guess.
