To solve this problem, take down the metal wings. Build stands in front of the video board closing in the stadium. Include a camera platform in the north grandstand.

That would be a great move. Presently looks "lop sided", tilts to the North. Would cost very little by using the present bleachers.

If those bleachers would ever come down, they won't be reused. The current metal bleachers are probably built for the pitch of the concrete main grandstands. I think we could build a lower level bowl (think of how we built the grandstands for the baseball stadium).
Could be a great area for loge seating, beer garden.
Some examples of loge seating or terrace style

Anyone know what the average timeline is for teams to upgrade their videoboards. Tech's football jumbotron is about 13 years old now. LED technology is a lot better now than it was back then. I was just curious.

Two things I noticed we haven't sold space . . . coaches headphones (covered by a telecom company) and in basketball the goal supports usually covered by State Farm. I'm sure there're others.
Re: Joe Aillet Stadium | Panoramic Virtual Tour
Y'all probably didn't know, but Tech football is on Natchitoches' #1 radio station FM 100.7 KZBL. Somewhat to the chagrin of some old school Demon fans. Wish we'd had this back in the '80's during the Malone era. I used to drive to Winnfield, sit in the parking lot of Walmart and listen to the Dunkin' Dawgs on a local station when they were playing a road game I couldn't go to, which was most of the road games. Never missed a home game when Malone played and made a bunch of road games too. My favorite places to travel to were Lafayette and Beaumont for the big showdowns with two very, very tough opponents.
Anyway, glad Tech (Learfield) has us on the local station here. But, just makes me miss the ole Nitzer even more.

Don't forget the net behind the south end zone!

The amount we still owe on the jumbotron and basketball scoreboards was merged into one note and I suspect we wont have any new ones until that note is paid off in 2024.

Took too long. Learfield (EllAye Teck) is a Horrible combo and has been for years
