That's actually a "rendering". I kid, I kid.

Seriously, why do we not have the largest freaking jumbo tron in the FCS? I'm sure $ has something to do with it, but we're the home of Daktronics for goodness sakes. Is there some bad blood there?

I just don't get it. Didn't previous renderings have a big video board on the performance center wall?

Field turf and jumbo trons are huge in recruiting these days, just like the uniform combos discussed in another thread.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumbotron

A Jumbotron (sometimes called "Jumbovision") is a large-screen television using technology developed by Sony, typically used in sports stadiums and concert venues to show close up shots of the event. Although JumboTron is a registered trademark owned by the Sony Corporation, the word jumbotron is often used by the public as a genericized trademark. Sony JumboTrons ceased being sold in 2001, when the company decided to exit the business.


I beleive the Correct term is ProStar

• 1997 The first Prostar large screen video displays were installed

Re: New SDSU Football Stadium Site Plan

I would bet it costs a good deal of money to run a giant board as well, even though they are led nowdays, let alone the initial purchase.

Thogh I get what you are saying.

And as soon as I hit send on my post, TV confirms.

Stadium will be named Dana Dykhouse Stadium. Per TV

Re: New SDSU Football Stadium Site Plan

I originally had thought the UPD's spot was really big but TV said the UPD's space is 5,700 square feet. Don't we all think their presence is big enough at events? I've had too many bad experiences with them. And no I've never been arrested.

I have never had a issue with them. They have a job to do. It's there job to do it.

This absolutely the best news of this football season. CAS will have come and gone during my lifetime. I witnessed the first game played at CAS in 1962. We played Arkansas State close, but lost 10-7 I believe. Not important, but what is important are the lead major gifts. The naming of Dana Dykhouse Staduim seems appropriate to me, since Dana has become the born again Charles Coughlin, who generously donated between 50k and 100k towards the current structure. We may be 3-3 right now, but I look forward to some great football being played at our facility. Our rest rooms were not great at CAS until recently and now they leave something to be desired, new improvements are on the way. Bigger crowds do this sort of thing, so its a good thing.
