New Scoreboard in the Dome

[CajunRebel]

Don't know if you guys came across this yet but here's a rendering and article of the new scoreboard going up in the Cajundome. It's really impressive. Many NBA arenas don't have anything this nice! Good job Greg Davis.

On a side note:
This is why the City needs to retain ownership of the arena. The city is still allowing the Dome to operate at a small loss allowing for the minor upgrades and renovations that keep an aging building looking good. You don't see these upgrades with any of UL's athletic facilities because they just can't afford it.

Here's a link to the agency that does the graphics for the boards.
Check out the graphics for the ribbon boards.

That looks very similar to the jumbotron that is in the Toyota Center. Very impressive.

What I really like is the player stats on the actual scoreboard. Now I don't have to look away at those ones in the corners that are usually not working properly.

Ah now now. this is keep everything positive week. no more hacking at the shrubs Z.
. but I cannot resist. do you want the shrubs inside the Cajundome so that TD can tell the kids to "stay out of the shrub area!" . on the new Cajundome sound system?

Its already Wednesday, and the throngs have done a great job of keeping it real. Mine was a humorous jab.

Heck, we have a giant hole in there that we could easily put it in!

There won't be enough time to fit it in.

This is something that is long overdue. Unfortunately, because the CajunDome is an all-purpose facility, it's current configuration doesn't make it a good basketball setting, or should I say, as good as it could be.

But, being that we no longer have any other permanent sporting events in there (hockey, arena football, indoor soccer), it is something that the CajunDome and the University should look into. All it would take is either a new bleacher configuration, or redoing the ones they already have. As a student, I always wanted to be that much closer to the court, and especially since they're having that contest now to name the student section, and are doing other things to improve the arena, it would be a good time to really make that place into a GREAT college basketball arena. The way they have the student section broken up hurts the ability for coordinated cheers and so forth from the students. and in college basketball, it is the students who generally control the level of noise, etc in the arena.

Also, didn't I hear a while back that they are going to start restricting seating in the upper levels to encourage more seating in the 100 and 200 levels?

C'mon Z. Let's be real. how do you honestly expect them to relocate a bunch of flaming bushes. They're on fire and someone could get injured.
