Michigan works on scoreboard bugs, girds for biggest crowd ever
"And so people were looking up there, 'I'm used to seeing this' and 'I want this information.' The wonderful thing about these scoreboards is how easy we can modify and change and we're in the process of doing that. We need to have, in a stadium as large as ours particularly — people want to know what yard line is the ball on because in some cases it's not easy to tell based on where you're seated. Cleary we're going to fix that."

In addition to fixing the info on the board, I also hope they're able to speed up the process of getting the info up.  It seems like they'd post "3rd down and 4" right as the play was beginning.

"I would like to do one night game a year if it goes well,"

so, odds are you don't do a night game in november, which means it won't be for NW or Iowa in 2012. that leaves Air Force, Illinois or MSU. neither AF or Ill has the clout for a night game, so that leaves MSU on October 20. looking back at the previous 10 october 20s, low temps were around 35 and there was seldom any rain. i will go if that is when it is scheduled, but there is a huge difference between Sept 10 and Oct 20 when it comes to wanting to be outside for 5 hours at night time.
