HOT DAMN!!!! I have actual inside info on something.

The guy who maintains the scoreboards is an independent contractor from B'ham and we kinda became friends this year, talking at nearly every football game. Anyway FWIW yes he said they're going to replace one of the scoreboards with a much bigger one before next season.

Is a new sound system that expensive to install?

That never gets cut into. We have one of the top ten recruiting budgets in college football.

I can't remember if he said that one was swapping places or just putting a new big one where the small one is.

Fwiw a second poster confirmed he was aware of the new "huge" jumbo tron going in the South endzone. Would be great to get it in by Aday

Yeah would make no sense to replace existing. We need two screens.

Seems like it would make sense to replace the sound system at the same time as installing the new screen

The current screen has some parts that are literally impossible to be replaced due to its age and outdated technology (And the company that supplied it no longer makes the parts...). The new one will be the largest in the country.

That will make for some great trolling material in the future.

I was not saying replacing the existing jumbo. Based on the question asked I said I did not know if the current Jombo was going to be moved to the opposite endcone and the new jumbo put where the original jumbo is or if the old jumbo was staying where it is and the new jumbo simply replace the non jumbo scoreboard.

New jumbo in same place. Much larger. Other screen close to useless because of what I mentioned above. It will not be moved/repurposed.

So we are keeping the scoreboard with no video screen?
