What's the story on when we will ever fix the video screen? That's pretty annoying.

It would be nice to have screen fixed, to show who's at the plate and batting averages, etc. The bulbs being out on the score board are pretty embarrassing. The radar gun board bulbs are shot too. Although, I've heard that Tony isn't a fan of our pitchers knowing how fast they are throwing.
It was my understanding when we put in the turf, our maintenance cost would be slashed due to not having to tend to grass and dirt. So fast forward 3 years and now we can't afford nor take the time to perform standard ballpark maintenance? Did baseball budget get reduced? It seems like every season starts and the bulbs are out or the dug out roof is a disaster or we have outfield wall ads mixed up or the bathroom floors are under water. I understand, the renovation that was expected isn't coming in the immediate future but come on, you have an entire off season to replace bulbs and throw some paint on the park to look nice. Is all of this going to be deferred until the weekend before the conference tournament? If so that's a hell of a message sent to your fans.
If my memory is right, I think Bab has mentioned in the past that the scoreboard would need to be re-wired to avoid the continual burned bulbs. I think that's why there's always an issue. They are constantly replacing bulbs.
rumor is a new scoreboard is in the works. i think the issue is that the bulbs aren't manufactured anymore and the screen got bad enough that they can't even half@$$ it.
2012 Baseball Season ends.............250+ days until the next season. I guess that isn't enough time to put together a checklist of crap that needs attention. The way we drag our feet is amazing to me sometimes! I can see it now, "Oh ____e, we gotta game in an hour!!! Where's the dang checklist?" Printer is out of paper at this time because Hud used the extra copy paper money that was hidden in a mayo jar outside the complex to go on a recruiting trip. So as a result, we forget the AMERICAN FLAG on opening night and the scoreboard isn't even remotely close to working. It's really frustrating the way we bush-league ____e for the most part. Just wait, in two weeks when the time changes again, the big clock above the scoreboard will be off for the remainder of the season.
I will donate the money, bulbs, and a manlift to get this taken care of.
Comical!
I was told that the screen is out and no plans to fix it. This from the press box elite......
Great! Supposedly one of the premier computer science departments in the country and we can't make the scoreboard work or change obsolete light bulbs. Embarrassing!
