The best quote I've heard so far to describe it is, "It's like putting a 60 inch Plasma TV in a trailer."

In person, it does not fit the stadium at all. That thing belongs in a 90,000+. Very large though

Looks nice but IMO It takes away from the game environment. You will have more people watching it than watching the game.

we got ours this past season. I think state's is like 2 feet wider than ours but ours is better quality...from what I've been told

Yeah we built ours then they built one two feet bigger to one up us. We used Daktronics and got a damn good jumbotron. THey used some off brand company and got a HUGE jumbotron.

Exactly what I started doing with the addition of our new jumbotron. It's so much easier to look up and watch the game on the screen than to try to see what's happening when the ball's positioned in an awkward part of the field from my standpoint.

Miss. State's is the 2nd biggest jumbotron in the nation. Texas has the biggest.

Well if by 2, you mean 27, then yes it is 2 feet wider (about 1200 square feet if you want to get technical).

I have only seen ours so I can't compare quality. Ours looks good as I am sure OM's does too. But unless you put them side by side, I doubt you can notice a difference in picture quality. But like I said, I have not seen yours.

yea im a student up here at state too... i dont go to the games up here for obvious reasons. they did need a new one but its way too big for the stadium. i like the analogy of putting a 60inch in a trailer... it fits perfectly

yea thats what i heard... since the highlands golf course shut down, cowbells is no longer a "resort" and therefore cant serve alcohol (dry county). i heard they MIGHT stay open as a restraunt but the food isnt that good so i dont know how long that will last...

My brother owns it and hasn't said a thing about to me or any of my other relatives.
