New video boards at RGC

No more dot matrix/lite brite. These boards will have the ability to show live game action and replay as well. Also, there will be regular scoreboards with just the score, time, half, etc.

Nice! It's good that the athletic program's doing something about what's probably its most glaring weakness. Jerry's World it is not, but they did what they could with what they had, and that's really all I ask for.

Re: New video boards at RGC

Really? I think improving Reed Green is a pretty high priority, and carrying around a scale model of a pipe dream arena with a center-hung video scoreboard wasn't doing anything.

My view....until we can dedicate actual funds to improve the entire facility like Lucky Charms drawings I think we should embrace our retro digs. In fact, they should have just honored old Carmichael Arena and installed two floor scoreboards instead. I’d rather it look like I’m watching Hoosiers and act like it’s intentional and classic vs small cut and paste updates that do little for the 15 people attending the game.

That's not unreasonable. I just don't think Lucky's plan will ever happen. GA Tech built the same basic arena 9 years prior to RGC. They didn't upgrade it significantly until 2012, at which point they did something very similar to what Lucky proposed ($40 million renovation).

GT is rich as Croesus compared to USM. If they lived with a yurt for 50+ years, "oui" are looking at 500 years.

Re: New video boards at RGC

The b-ball program is on life support right now. Since we don’t have millions for a new arena go the fixer upper route and embrace its look and history. Change the court logo to whatever we had in the 70’s....Change the uniforms to honor the past as well. Price concessions like it’s 1980. Play music from the 70’s. Would cost pennies to do some cool retro updates and we would get some press out of it as well.

Be honest. When you read that USM is installing new video boards in the Yurt....what did you envision? Was it anywhere close to the photo?

I was worried the displays would be much smaller than that. I am not thrilled, but I am somewhat relieved.

"The two video boards, made by Daktronics, stand 10 feet, 8 inches tall and are 19 feet wide. Both are high definition boards that allow for the use of video as well as the ability to see instant replays during the contest.

The new video boards are expected to be operational when the men’s squad opens home C-USA play against UTEP in a 7 p.m. contest."

I'm not very knowledgeable about arena video boards. What's wrong with Daktronics?

Some of you are too young or dumb to remember the craptronics board we had at the Rock that lasted all of 3 years.
