Looks great. nearly killed my phone, but thanks for sharing.
hmmmm
the screens appear to have more than 16 pixels now
that is a damn big screen. I
that is a damn big screen. I bet I can see replays from my place in Chicago! Can't wait to see this in person for the games!
Go Blue!
Can I take my two year old
Can I take my two year old son? Kid loves Wall-E. Though we also watch a lot of Land Before Time.
LB4T
OH MAN JUST NOSTALGIA'D HARD! I loved Land Before Time. I only moderately enjoyed LB4Ts 2-9.
Hail.
I have come to hate Wall-E
I truly would like to smash Wall-E and Eva with a hammer into tiny bits. I have three boys - 4yrs and 2yrs twins... enough said.
What is the resolution of
What is the resolution of those scoreboards? I am just curious... I was surprised that the scoreboards going up in the Big House are actually as low resolution as they are, given how large they are.
Deep under cover in THE enemy's territory
Resolution?
What did they say the resolution will be?
Haha
Haha really? Really? Did you expect retina screens at all the new stadiums?
Intensity is a lot of guys that run fast.
Should be a big improvement.
Should be a big improvement. Can't wait to see what the Big House looks like with those new scoreboards.
During Band Week way back
During Band Week way back when, we had rehearsal in the stadium and the guys in the press box were running High Fidelity over the scoreboards while they did work around the bowl. Sometimes you gotta entertain yourself with the biggest TV you have at your disposal.
I'm disappointed
they didn't test them using 'hockey bear'.
So BIG. And so
So BIG. And so BLURRY.
Were those taken with a brownie?
If by brownie you mean two
If by brownie you mean two year old iPhone 3G struggling to run iOS4 and taken through the smudgy glass boards, then yes. I'll be sure to have a high quality camera on next time I accidentally stumble across Wall-E in Yost.

Thank you. Much appreciated.
Thank you. Much appreciated.
New source of revenue: movie showings
Cars 2 opens today. I'd totally take my kids to Yost for that.
(And yeah, taking pictures of the oversize HD scoreboards with a blurry 4-megapixel phone seems akin to dumbing down an HDTV with component cable input. But I still appreciate it!)
If only Coach Mo hadn't gotten so drunk.
They could show movies

Calibration
All Pixar DVDs have a setting to calibrate your TV so they might be doing that

Need to Embiggen
They're going to need to embiggen everything inside Yost now.
Looking at the script "YOST ICE ARENA" on the perimeter of these monsters, look at how miniscule the banners hanging alongside seem. Gotta get everything scaled to "11" or else the jumbo/cloverfieldtron will overwhelm, and the eyes won't be able to focus on anything else (much like the cellphone camera).
Larry
I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV
How about showing
some of the more important away games on those boards in front of a packed Yost full of students. Football/basketall etc. I bet you could get some good crowds in there for Michigan @ Michigan State football this fall.
Brilliant idea in my opinion.
IIRC by that time Crisler
IIRC by that time Crisler will also have its giant video boards and also won't have the view half its the main seats blocked by the premium seats.
Yes, but
Yost is much closer to campus. I think more people would go since its so much closer.
Semi-Related
The people in the center ice suites that shell out the most money have a huge speaker hanging right in their view of the scoreboard. I wonder if this will cause Yost to adjust their accoustics, I hope so for the rich folks' sake.
Erimicrom
Was this today, Friday? As of yesterday afternoon, they had Windows Media Player and a still of flowers on the screen with portions of the screen still black. Seems like they're making steady progress then. One of the Yost employees have told me that they will be able to play videogames on it...not a huge videogame player, but can you imagine playing some COD or good ol' fashion Blades of Steel on that?
Fun with Recruiting

Is that thing puck proof? It looks like it will need to be, considering it's only about 20-30 feet above the ice.
