Looks pretty awesome, definite improvement over asphalt.

I have heard people fussing about that piece of land for a while... what part exactly are you talking about?

The fenced in area. The woman wants way more than what the University can give her. Something about USC can only pay the appraised value, and she wants a LOT more.

The part that juts into the grassy area at the front? That is complete BS if so... I thought it looked odd, but for some reason I had a different idea of where that was.

i didn't realize this. is it from the plant nursery that was located there? if so, they should just wait her out because it's not worth much w/o road access to park, and setbacks won't let you construct anything. and USC controls the common areas so they get can't get a vendor's permit.

Thats pretty awful. I have seen those plans about 5000 times, and I never really noticed it. I am still tailgating in the Fairgrounds this year, but plan on moving over there next season.

You guys needed this....






Enjoyed the game last year in Columbia. The fans were rocking. No doubt.

I thought I'd like our spiffy HD board as well but I've grown to hate it. Most of the time it's spewing shitty Sea World commercials and playing some Chevron race game with cars 1-3, or hiding a football under helmets. And if it's showing a replay half of it is being used for some advertisement. Also our fans used to be loud between plays, now they're just staring at that thing waiting for the replay. IMO, all that kind of shite is for NFL games.


We have the EXACT same problem. I wish they'd tear the thing down.

You'll grow to hate that video board.

Fans were rocking but it was a shitty game to watch on both sides. Offense was like a retarded slap match. Our parting gift from Stephen Garcia.

I am just excited to see replays... I sit in the West stands opposite the board, and it was tough to make out exactly what was happening.

That's the size of the actual video board in the center?

Then the score and stats on the sides?

A lot smaller than I thought.

They're still testing it. First time I've seen actual video other than player name backgrounds. That or they're going to do an "unveiling" of the actual size. Then that black space will probably be covered in ads.

Arkansas' old one was like that, time/score and what not on the left, with stats on the right.

Not sure what the new one will as it's now all the way across.

I assume from that pic that SC's is more like our old one with the actual video part in the center, and ads/stats on the sides. But maybe not.

Well it's a HD board all the way across. No idea how they will actually use the video board though. We already have the score at the bottom along with clock, so who knows.

Looks great. But as others have said you'll probably grow to hate it. Ours is used constantly for ads or some story about an old aggie's life. They're interesting, but completely rip the energy out of the stadium after they're played.

Yeah I'm kinda interested how that works too.

I know Arkansas added to LED boards on the front of the Broyles Center to display time and score so maybe that new boards will only show video and what not.
