My guess is maybe thats why they want to build an indoor practice facility? Some people have said on the internets that any expansion to the North Endzone wouldnt be possible due to foundations of Merriman center but that is all bogus in my opinion. Anything is possible with the right $$$
Wasn't there concerns about space for the north endzone? The practice fields are right behind it. I read something about it but I can't remember what was said about expansion.
Can't connect South Endzone with the rest. Due to the steepness of East stands, it won't work. The design can never and will never be a bowl like shape. North Endzone expansion is coming when we have more money and have paid off more of our debt from our last expansion.
While I'm not sure of the specifics, they would probably have to tear out a bit from each end of each section to make it work, and I think I remember hearing that it would be pricier than the entire SEZ expansion was in the first place. As much as it could help with keeping the noise in the stadium, I wouldn't hold my breath on it.
I guess this new scoreboard means an expansion of the north endzone is further off then originally anticipated. I really wish they would connect the south endzone with east and west.
I think Painter could be added to that list because he is a freaking monster, and with some coaching I think he could at least be a solid backup in the league at Tackle. Would make a great developmental project in the 7th Round.
Anyone notice on page 3 in the Background it says they will be updating video boards and sound system in Cassell too. About damn time for both Lane and Cassell to be updated.
Add a counter for the number of days the Commonwealth Cup has been in our possession
I think Tweedy, Fuller, and Taylor could be real steals at the later rounds. Hope my skins pick up one of them
He reminds me of Lorenzo Alexander of the Redskins. Decent linebacker, but dominant on special teams. He'll fight for his playing time and it'll be fun to watch him in the preseason if a team decides to pick him up.
Tweedy Man is going to make a Pro Bowl as a Special Teamer.
y'know, one of those things that changes as you change the viewing angle.
Kind of like a low-tech GIF.
Looks like its all but over now.
I think the base design is corny from a design perspective... the pics can be whatever they want...i don't love the base look. I know it is CAD which is always really just a placeholder. I feel that overall the team is missing an innovative graphic design element. We are all over the place with our look and brand. We are unsuccessfully chasing Oregon with unis but they have actual high quality NIKE designers working on such things. Not a grad student that thinks he can design or an engineer that is amazing but doesn't have the graphic design flare to pull off a "big idea" look. I am stoked for the new scoreboard. I think the current one is pretty sad in comparison to many stadiums.
Regardless of how great it is there will still be those annoying intelos/stop in ads and the random commercials with lights sweeping over a photos of bulldozers, and cranes, etc. But hey they need to pay the bills.
I can totally see the Steelers taking either Bruce or Alonzo. They need defensive help, and both are pretty low-risk guys at their projected spots in the draft.
Can we all agree the back needs to include the Horse on a Treadmill?
oh ok gotcha, thanks for the assist!
and offers are the only quantifiable way to populate the rating systems. Catch-22 for early commits.
It looks like all of the ads will be part of the LED screen itself, so they can be rotated. If I'm a sponsor, I would like that a bit less - but as a fan, I like a lot more.
Quite a fall for Davis considering he was on Kiper's Preseason Big Board heading into the season, predominately based on potential and measurables.
Look for the Raiders to pick him 3rd overall after a strong performance in the Underwear Olympics.
Can they put gifs on the back of the scoreboard?!?!
Im not sure if im digging the back side. I think its the over abundence of maroon panels or possibly the two trapizoids (cant decide) , however; as stated above the rendoring sucks so i wont judge it too much yet. I would almost like some Hokie Stone somewhere on it. I like the front and VT.FB.5 has the best picture of this). Regardless, much better then the current one and i am excited.
I think it would be cool if the murals on the back changed or flipped thru images. But i know thats asking for alot
For those worried about the sound system they are replacing it (Page 32 of the specifications). From the drawings it looks like the front 2 sides are the speakers (42'x17' side accent panels). If thats the case i think the sound will be awesome and up to date. Page 40 in the RFP has the speaker specs. It states an average of 105 dBA must be met which is plenty loud, and i can bet its much louder then the current. To put things in perspective 130 decibles is the threshold of pain.
Beamer dancing in the locker room
I loathe him like a Carolina fan would. I can't wait until that program sucks on a more consistent basis, though that wait may be a long one
If not he should!
