Re: First Look at GATAVision

I never believed it would be just like the drawing, but it is going to be pretty close and still very impressive. Besides, I bet nothing actually looks just like the mock ups because you can't make building materials fit just like a CGI.

I guess I was a steal then :) (a person who played well and was just happy to be part of the program).

Well I hope there is a plan to increase the size of the band.

How many people are actually in it now? I have noticed that it has shrunk in the past few years.

I like the ribbon displays, we can cycle through different sponsor ads throughout the game.

So, the ads are actually part of the video board? Is the clock in the middle actually part of the video board as well? I couldnt tell from the pictures whether those a really ribbon boards or just black placeholders for backlit ads and a clock.

Also ate at Blue Moon Cafe for the first time. Awesome. Saw TSpoon and Barmore eating there together, too.

Went inside Memorial Gym. Still in great shape. Forgot to take a picture, though..:(

We parked beside Wily Tower. All the visitor parking was taken, so we parked a couple rown over. After walking around for a little while, we came back to a $15 ticket. :icon_roll:

We took care of it, though. :icon_wink:

Great pics, Dude!!!:)

They aren't backlit ad spots it is more like digital billboards where they can be changed throughout the game. The clock is at the top in the center.

Sweet. That was a really smart thing to do. Generate more ad revenue. I'm assuming the CTB ad at the bottom will be featured prominently since they have
"naming rights." I'm really glad we are getting rid of that goofy ad for the local car dealership that had a cross on it.

Did you see those friggin tires? I would hate to be on the opposite side of our linemen this year. Those things have got to be 200 lbs apiece.

Two Daktronics 23mm video displays, each measuring approximately four feet high by 45 feet wide, will also be installed, offering more visibility and opportunities for sponsors and advertisers. A custom LED scoreboard will also add to the exciting game-day environment at the opposite end of the stadium.

They are installing the Daktronic 23mm panels for the ribbon board.

Same panels as Auburn's stadium ribbon (very high quality).

I think he's referring to the cheesy cross and ichthus on an ad in a football stadium, you won't be saving anyone with a cross on an ad.
