That dumb statement makes absolutely no sense.

Hope that big video board can sustain Hurricane force winds. It will be facing the Gulf.

I am sure the CE has taken that into consideration. The only question would be what the wind speed number they used?

They based it on the average wind for a 100-year storm.

Do you know what wind speed that is?

Pez said that the scoreboard would be the largest in Texas. That is not accurate, right?

Yeah he said it during an interview with the 365 Sports guys a while back.
time 19mins:40secs into the interview. Not sure if its been talked about anywhere else.

Are other teams putting in new scoreboards?

It’s like climbing walls. It doesn’t matter if one’s a big bigger as long as it’s suits it’s purpose - sells tickets and brings in recruits.

Awesome

I thought either the Dallas Cowboys or Whorns had the largest scoreboard

I assume he meant for college stadiums. The one at the Dallas Cowboy Stadium is certainly bigger.

Hopefully it isn’t too big for the stadium. One a little wider than the old one would have been fine for that space.

Its my understanding that it’ll be the largest scoreboard in the Big 12, not Texas entirely

So the new capacity will be 39,800


That’s gonna stick in a few craws LOL

Oh sure, less seats, Pez will just keep raising ticket, parking and concession prices.

I don’t like that he said that capacity is “perfect”. It seems like he doesn’t have the growth of the program in mind when saying that in a podcast several months ago.

We should grow to consistently fill a 50k stadium. 50k fans each game is the benchmark for top level cfb in my opinion.

Why don’t we fill what we have first?
