New Baseball Scoreboard (in time for 2013 SBC Tournament)

[cajunfan337]

New board will have similar setup as what we have now. 16:9 video screen on the left with a traditional scoreboard on the right.

How would this cost 375k?

Good, I can live with that. I wish we could get it installed sooner! Can't wait for that thing.

Does anyone know if we will use Daktronics again? They have some nice displays and we have already bought their video boards in the past. I did some digging and found some examples of baseball displays they have done....

Any thoughts on these examples? I personally think the Georgia scoreboard is really nice quality, just not sure I like the setup of where the stats are displayed... seems a little confusing and not friendly to the eye.

I think I'd rather the video board that the St. Lucie Mets have pictured below where the board is solely used for video and statistical info while they still used a conventional scoreboard underneath it with the box style innings and R H ER boxes.

On a side note, the Daktronics website actually has a picture of one of the boards we bought on our Campus at the corner of Rex Street. http://www.daktronics.com/ProductsSe...s/default.aspx

It is Daktronics, the purhcase order has been sent in.

If a PO has been sent in, is their a style number or product number to see what we are getting, or does this type of set up get built uniquely to specs sent in?

16:9 does seem pretty small for what you can get.

• How big is the video board?
• The board now is not 16:9 ratio, so something has to move.
• Is this a TOTALLY new scoreboard, or a refresh of the current one?

Just trying to get a feel for what is coming.

Another master plan project. You will see it when it is up and running......

BTW, there was a group in the initial phase of looking to raise money for the scoreboard as it wasn't going to be part of the master plan, but with the donation(s) it was fast-tracked. Installation is due to start after the SoAL series.

I'm excited about this. If I am understanding this correctly... they are getting donations now for soe of the athletic master plan... that makes me happy.

Maybe I'll make a game.....one year.

16:9, is that for every 16 inches one way, it's 9 inches the other way? If that's so than it can be as big as the $$ you have to spend. You can tell I am not an engineer. I do know 2 + 2 is 4.,,,,,

Anyway the board will be 12'x75'-----37' of the video area----Tony got the deal done as he is very close to these backers and has always been----Both Gerald and Ken helped very much in getting it done!!! Some things just don't happen in public and are hatched behind the scenes before the birth announcement---meantime, I want the Master plan NOW!!! Still finalizing how to present it as a total or in stages----maybe I am just too prejudiced toward what I think my Alma Mater is when it is not as good as to what it is trumped up to be---but I don't think so---just can't understand the conference shun!!!!!!

---just can't understand the conference shun!!!!!!

Boomer, its simple. The admin hasn't shown any real leadership WRT athletics in other conferences' minds. But like most of you, I think that is finally coming to pass. We can only hope its not too late. I think Georgia So., and App State are fine adds to the Sun Belt - - it's just not the conference I wish to be in ...........................
