I think in another 3-4 years we should update our videoboard (doubling its size and using better LEDs panels).

I love this! Would be great to see that happen. The wings were nice when they were on both sides, but with the south ones gone it just looks odd. A WKU fan asked why our stadium was so asymmetrical.

Did you ask your WKU fan friend why their stadium is such a dump for visitors and media?

If I was in the AD we wouldn't have these problems.
Jk, I would totally take a fulltime salary to screw around on BBB all day.

I hope you meant if you WERE the AD or in the AD's office. :laugh: Thought I would catch it before Champ did. I don't know what he would post as a response. LOL

I was the first person that was trained to run ads and music on the videoboard. I was an intern at the time and Dooley was AD. One of our main issues was trying to communicate with the band. From where we were located in pressbox we could not hear the band on a regular day and on gameday we had to wear headphones to be able to hear production crew so that made it impossible to hear band. We tried giving the band their on radio to call up to let us know when they were about to play and it worked during testing but on gameday when the teams radios were added it basically blocked our signal to the band. I tried my hardest never to play over band and for most part I think I did well until we got heavy into ads and I could not watch the band all the time and had no way to hear them. I only worked the board for the first 2 years then I had to leave the job cause they could not hire full time because of budget cuts and I could not live off being an intern. I think they still use interns to run the music on the board.
I am not saying this is still the issue and im not giving an excuse for it still happening. I would think after 8 years something could have been figured out. I was just giving some insight on some issues I had running it. I still believe if they can give the job to someone that can run the board for all sports every year that would help also. Instead of having to use new interns to do it.

Where is the current production being done?
Re: The O.K. "Buddy" Davis Pressbox (former Demolition Thread)
Can we do anything good without offending the bookstore?

nope. Communication between them and the band has gotten worse. They also play so many ads that the band rarely gets to play more than the fight song or the same quick 10-second pieces. There was great balance between ads and band playing my freshman year (2014). 2015 was bad at some points but bearable. This past season was unbearable though. Ads during every break in play and they would play the same generic pop music instead of allowing the band to play. Also several times where they gave the clear to play, just to turn around and say "oops nevermind" 4 beats into a piece.
