New Scoreboards

Video Boards $4.5Million
Structural Support $1.3Million
Installation Sound Equipment, etc. not to exceed $2.2Million

It also sounds like Carver will reap the benefits of this:

The existing video walls and mechanical advertising panels were installed in the summer of 2005 during the first phase of the renovation of Kinnick Stadium. The control room equipment is also eight years old and was installed with the existing scoreboard/video walls. To utilize the full potential of the new scoreboard and video walls, some new equipment needs to be purchased. The new equipment in the control room will allow “HawkVision” to create an enhanced game-day experience for the Kinnick Stadium fans (and Carver-Hawkeye Arena, since the same equipment runs both venues). The equipment will allow the cameras on the field and in the seating bowl to showcase replays, crowd shots, crowd/advertising engagements and create a new game-day experience. (The new video walls are “HD” and the equipment to run them must be in the same format and requires the University to purchase new equipment that is in the HD format.)

I guess I didn't realize I needed a new scoreboard to have an "enhanced game-day experience" in Kinnick. Everytime I read one of these sales pitches, I am reminded of the great and powerful Wizard of Oz telling Dorothy and her friends to pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

I like these types of additions to the stadium. I also think that is why they call then "enhancements". You are there for the game, but these things just add to the experience. So while you are correct, they don't have to do these things, I think it is good to keep these features up to date.

Everyone knows that big screens = better team. Just ask state champion Iowa State.
 
Will be ready for this coming season.

Let's start with an enhanced offensive scheme.
 
Can they start showing player stats and better replays with consistency? Or is this just for Case IH and the burrito lift?
