New video board going up today

[jchromes]

Anyone know how wide the current scoreboard is?

Old video screen was 67ft x 21.5ft (1,441 sq ft) - 48th largest in CFB - List of college football stadium video boards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

New video screen is 31ft 6.4in x 122ft 8.8in (~3,870 sq ft) - 16th largest in CFB - Kinnick video/ribbon scoreboard progression | TheGazette

I was walking through the back hallway in the UIHC main OR today and saw it fired up. They had all but two small cells working the last time I looked at it as I was leaving. Pretty impressive. Also saw the truss structure for the ribbon in the North endzone. This upgrade is going to have a minor effect on the sound pressure level in the stadium. Maybe get a another dB louder by reflecting some sound back that would otherwise leave.

So, with our jump to #16, the Clones lose their temporary bragging rights? Ohhh, nooo.

But hey... at least they have that cool Interstate Road Sign superstructure holding it up. Right? That's dead sexy.

@TheIowaHawkeyes
The new videowalls at north end of Kinnick will be 78 percent larger than what was in the NW corner last year.

Hopefully there will be a couple good replays to show this year.

Go Hawks!

Barta must value my opinion.

I received a link to a survey about what I would like to see more of on the new big screen. Anyone else get this?
I ranked replays and highlights, followed by player/team stats, then scores from B1G/around country, and finally what's the happenings round UofI campus.

I've always hated how they have the worst angled replays, and rarely showed them during reviews/questionable calls. Wussies.

@TheIowaHawkeyes - Great progress happening with the new video walls and ribbon board at Kinnick.

Is that for realz or tin foil hat type talk?

Don't they look through the corner section? They should still be ok to not pay admissions. Barta did say/I made up that he plans on charging donations to the Iclub for the top level of the parking lot.
