New UM Stadium Scoreboards

I know the guy that owns the crane company installing the new HD boards.  He is out at the stadium now putting up some steel.  We thought the actual boards maybe going up but that is not the case yet.  I was going to go for ride in the crane  when the boards go up.  He is indicating that the new boards are 60H x 120W.  Probably old news on this blog. How much larger is this than the old scoreboard?

Go Blue !!!

Doesn't the diaganol have to be at least as long as the longest side?  So at minimum it would be 120 ft.  Unless I'm reading something wrong, don't know how a TV is measured, or just an idiot.

is that DBrandon is planning on adding another 10,000+ seats to fill in either side of said scoreboard in the south endzone. He figures that because the waiting list for season tickets exceeds this number, the seats will be instantly sold. He went on to mention that he would leave it to another AD to fill in the seats in the north endzone later down the line. I bet filling in the endzones with more seats will increase the volume in the Big House even more. I look forward to going to games where the attendance is something scary like 135,000 in my lifetime. Go Blue!!!

I've seen the mock-ups and it looks awesome.  Scoreboards are one of those things that I don't think can ever be considered too big (as long as sight angles aren't compromised).

I just drove by them on the way to go grocery shopping. Right now there is a big steel beam sticking out the top of all the round support posts on the north side of the stadium with some diagonal ones between them for support. These scoreboards are going to be huge. When I went by there wasn't really anything going on on the south side.
