DEAD! Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 ....maybe that 55 feet tall and 134 feet wide will finally help Longhorn fans determine whether or not a player's foot was inbounds when he makes a catch! But, hey at least Teaxs can make use of the scoreboard. Texas A&M, on the other hand is another story.... I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabreGuy Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 It's Texas. They like to buy EVERYTHING bigger in Texas......just like guys trying to make up for small penises or a mid life crisis.

no97 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Well, for those that have been to Turner Field in the last two years, the 72'x80' HDTV BravesVision Video Board is pretty impressive, and can certainly catch (and keep) your attention. Just based on square footage, the Braves (their web-site still claimes it is the world's largest HD video board) is 5760 sq. ft., while Texas's new board will be 7370 sq. ft. - or 1610 sq. ft. larger.Moose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, no.If you look at any electronic scoreboard or video screen, chances are very likely it's a Daktronics. I'm pretty sure they're the leading manufacturer in the industry.Besides, DAKota + eleTRONICS = DAKTRONICS.

I think the company was started by two professors from South Dakota State University in Brookings. I did a bit of research on the company for a project I worked on last year (less about the company, more about specs and materials), and the people that I spoke with did indeed have their :censored: together.
