Dan Radakovich indicated we were getting a modern new video scoreboard as part of BDS renovations after this upcoming season. So how big will it be? Turns out Mississippi State just approved a "true HD board", which will measure 152' wide by 135'6" tall. The main HD screen will be 111' wide by 47' tall. It will be the largest true high-def board in the SEC, and will be able to be used as one big board, or broken into many smaller displays using state-of-the-art LED's.......... all for the reasonable price tag of $6.1 million.
Of course that doesn't quite rival "Godzillatron" out in Texas, which is 134' x 55', and requires 40 5-ton A/C units to keep it cool.
Do you have HD-envy yet? With our financial picture, what type scoreboard do you see us hooking up with?

They have a huge HD scoreboard so that they can watch re-runs of "The Golden Girls?"
Way to go Texas.
6.1 million dollars...couldn't we use the money on something else that would be better for the program? facilities..personnel....etc
I'd settle for improvements so we could understand the PA announcements instead of the garblings we hear now. Add someone with ears who would turn down some of the annoying music.
We'll definitely need as nice a board as we can get, since everyone's going to be relying to the replay to see who actually ended up with the damned ball on that last play.
Honestly, why can't we afford speakers on both the south AND north ends of the stadium? All our beautiful chanting is warped by the delay.
We need an awesome one as far as I'm concerned. I have no idea realistically but i'd LIKE to just trade our current one with the braves.
did you know that that is the worlds largest HD tv?
