Big steps since the last update - two new block M's on the bottoms with a clock and playclock.  Almost finished it looks like.

Looking incredible.  And huge!  Can't wait to see the videoboard tests to show stats, and maybe some replays.

And of course, the season opener!  Gonna be incredible!

I'm going to guess that the bottom won't be HD, and will instead be a regular LED board.  If it's primarily used for stats and scores, I don't think there's any real reason to use extra video processing power on that.

It's going to make watching the game easier if you're in the end zone up high. I have a tough time seeing the play if the game is at the opposite end so I watch the screen. It will actually make watching the screen worth it.

Has anyone else noticed that it looks like some of the panels are upside down or something? When the colors change, instead of moving up, it moves down causing a growing horizontal line for a second. I don't know how to describe it any better than that.

I was thinking something similar. About a third of the way up, when a horizontal line moves upwards on the screen, it skips upward a bit before catching up. It's actually sort of annoying and I hope they get it fixed soon.

Both of those guys have to be wearing harnesses in order to be up there. It'd be a huge OSHA violation if they are not harnessed in, and UM wouldn't be too happy if they don't have harnesses.
