New Scoreboard in the Dome

[wcd35]

$7.75 for a large beer?! A 9.67% increase since last season.....And to top it all off NO BUDWEISER.

That just means I have to drink 4 not to have any change jingling around in my pockets.

Whats the price on the smaller ones??

That would be 5.75, and it hit the spot. It just means I'll have to save a lot more for beer money at the dome.

Did anyone take pictures of the dome in action last night? I want to show it off to some friends. It was amazing last night.

Good call!!!

The Dome did look awesome last night. Not to take anything away from the scoreboard, but I think I was more impressed with the banners on the wall as opposed to the scoreboard. I thought they really made the arena look good. Also, the screens on the scoreboard were insane. How do I get one in my living room.

The mics on the rims were cool too. Did anyone else here how loud it was when the rim rattled on one of our missed shots.

How about how loud the horn was.....bone jarring.

I remember reading that the sales tax was put in place by the state. At half time I went to the upper deck consecion stand and there was a group from UL working it. Not sure what group, but someone did ask and they said it was to raise money for their group. The new set up is great. The only thing was at some times the signs on the side were distracting with all the flashing lights. Now as far as the team went, I thought they played with little intensity in the first half. McCoy did not impress me much. Barr has the biggest feet I have ever seen. He can shoot free throws through, and that is always a good thing. They played much better in the second half. Lots to look forward to.

I am in the same boat. I like the look they bring, but they do distract. Maybe they can be managed during play.

I've got no problem with that. Budweiser sold out to a Belgian company. Why should we send even more of our dollars overseas?

What do I care anyway. I'm a Coors Lite man myself. Tap the Rockies baby.

I noticed they were taking down the outside video screen before the game.. are they replacing that too?.. I thought the old one was pretty nice.

with all due respect sir, the old one was a piece of you know what.

yeah, your right. A nice high def screen would be nice..if that's what they are planning..

_ The new HD video screen is magnificent and I was extremely satisfied to see the statistics boards in the 'corner' of the dome working. The LED boards on behind the baskets are flashy and will be great for advertising.

Great to see the Cajuns run a little more than last year. A few dunks and alley-oops. Defense looked decent to me.

I went early to see the girls play, but didnt get their roster on the information provided at the door. I would liked to have been able to see the roster and last years statistics for the girls along with the boys.

I did not like the increase in prices across the boards for refreshments. Everything I saw increased in price since last season.

Peanuts went up a full 30%. (I was hoping the increase in the football games on peanut prices was a localized thing) _

Talked with peanut guy sorry I cant recall his name at the moment) at the Black Pot festival, he told me Sodexco told he had to raise the price. At the festival he was charging 2 bones!
