  1. This brings up an important issue. I haven't seen any evidence of a net being put in place to protect the screen. Will they add one? will it retract, as to not obscure the view of the jumbotron? Will it have Allstate hands on it?

    They may be kicking balls at innocent women and children in the Family Fun Pack seats in the south endzone as well.

  2. Don't the current games allow the PS3/XBOX systems to upload the fight song into the game?

    You'd think. At least on the Xbox 360, you can connect to a media server on your network and incorporate your own music from there, but you can't use media uploaded to the game console. Kinda screwy.

    I don't know about the PS3.

  3. I think that resulted in a safety and as such the green team shoudl have 15 points. just saying...

    I was told that by one of our fine officials as well. The fumble bounced out of his arms and landed in the end zone. I did find that ruling a little strange in that usually a safety is scored against you in the end zone you are defending, but who am I to question. Not a big deal, but I can't remember if the extra two points would have helped us against the spread.

  4. Hey guys, I have read about a secondary video board that will be the same size as the Fouts Daktronics... and I have to admit that was a pleasant surprise to hear about... is that being built yet? Location?

    You can see it in the first picture in this thread. It's in the northeast corner of the stadium near the alumni pavilion. If you look at it now through the webcam, it looks about done. All the video panels are in.

  6. Thanks for posting the pics. It's nice to see the front side of the board. Everything looks great. Did RV have any new information about the place, or what they have in store for this season?

    The only thing I heard that was new to me was that the railing and stair trim leading to the upper bowl sections will be finished out in silver, not green like the north stands as someone else posted. He also said that the statue that is going in behind the south endzone is a statue of an eagle's chest and head donated by some former athlete's from the 50's and 60's and that the players will rub it for good luck when they enter the stadium. That was a more descript description of the statue than I'd heard before.

  7. After the final whistle sounded on the GMG.com Bowl, we had a very pleasant surprise from Rick Villareal. He invited us over to the bowl seating area at the new stadium. The quality of these pics is pretty crappy because all I had was my 3G iPhone, but nontheless, I think you'll get an idea of how great this stadium is. There were several of us that were feeling pretty giddy in there. Thanks Rick!!!
