My only complaint...
My only complaint...
has nothing to do with the video, per say, but rather the audio/speakers on the new video boards. Is it just me, or did anyone else notice the imbalance of sound in the stadium, with only sound coming from the north scoreboards, and none from the south scoreboards??...Then, to my surprise, I noticed speakers only on top of the north video boards and none on the south. This clearly explains why all the sound only comes from one end, but why in the world would they want it set up that way? I'm in section 20 ,and have been for a very long time, and yesterday was the first time I ever noticed the sound disparity issues. It had the car radio effect when your sitting in the back and the driver accidently changes the speakers to 'front' and you can't hear anything but muffled sounds as a result. Thoughts MGoBloggers?!

Basic reason is to avoid echo.

If speakers were anywhere other than on the scoreboards (aiming lengthwise down the centerline of the Stadium) there would be bad echoes bouncing off the glass of the two concourses. And if you had speakers at both ends, there would be a kind of reverb effect when the sound from one set of scoreboards hit you before the other. The straight solution is to put all of the sound in one end. I presume that the north end is the obvious choice for speaker placement because that is where the students are (MOAR NOYZE!) and the sound blowing through to the south bothers fewer people outside the stadium, since that is just golf course and Pioneer that way.

The only issue with the scoreboards is they won't show

the scores of other games often enough. I was there yesterday and they only reported/showed scores of other games twice. I said this all last year and I'll say it again, they should use the bottom section of the scorebaord that usually just says "MICHIGAN" through most of the game as a 'ticker' style scrolling scoreboard, continuously showing Top 25/B1G and games of local interest scores.
Since they block wireless signals, you can't really use a smartphone in the stadium so you can't get other scores.
Believe it or not Brandon, many of us actually care about other games besides the one we are attending.
And they stop selling the radios that gave us the game broadcast so I could hear the play-by-play from the radio in real-time not delayed. The AD seems to be power hungry.

I'm just happy that I didn't

I'm just happy that I didn't hear Journey or "In the Big House" (except, of course, at the golf course, unfortunately).

My gripe - use the full scoreboard more

There's no need to display the stats ALL THE TIME. During plays and during replays the full scoreboard should be used. In between plays and at all other times, the stats can be shown. Also, why aren't the stats just shown on the bottom. Go 16:9 aspect ratio and use the full width of the screen for video, and put the stats under the video on the bottom.
Eventually, they should consider using the speaker area as more video space reserved solely for stats. Put UM stats on one side of the big screen and Visitor stats on the other, use the full big board MOAR!!!!!!
Go Blue!

I think every play should be

I think every play should be replayed. Every fan (except Herm) would benefit and I don't see what's the big deal about not being able to do it (except if B1G regulations do not allow it).

They don't use a wide enough
They don't use a wide enough
camera angle for some replays.
Also I'm guessing Air Force's pace of play made it damn near impossible to show Michigan's defensive replays.
Sure, as long as they don't plaster it in advertising a la Ohio Stadium.
