In addition to the new video board, a ribbon board will be placed above the window at field level, with the play clock moving a little lower, like in the north end zone. Obviously the temporary scoreboard will be gone.
Don’t look at it then.that's really bad news about another ribbon board.
hate that ribbon board.
a big negative to the stadium's atmosphere.
Based on the size of the framework the new scoreboard is going to be huge.
Don’t look at it then.
Yep. 40x90. NEZ board is 20x60.Based on the size of the framework the new scoreboard is going to be huge.
They need the advertising revenue.
no they don't.
that's not even chump change.
and why intentionally fk up something you just spent so much time and effort and money trying to improve and beautify?
how bout a couple oversized ribbon boards on the Sample Gates as well.
that could bring in a few ad dollars as well, and be utilized 365 days a yr, instead of 6 or 7..
No worries.Face it, we're dinosaurs
Some don't appreciate that less is often more...
Better? VBGFace it, we're dinosaurs

Better? VBG
Why? We know what we have, we know who we are, and we know how far we have come. You can see virtually any college stadium you want with a simple Google search. If you just want to be a wet blanket, feel free to find another program that meets your expectations.Now we need to see a comparison to other stadiums.

Some of us here appreciate the process and the progress. If you think we are going to be OSU next year or even in the next decade you are going to be permanently disappointed.
I don’t know who you’re responding to, as I have them on ignore, but anyone complaining about our facilities is a tool. I follow this stuff pretty closely, and what we are going to have is pretty impressive regardless of the school. It’s a never ending arms race and we need to continue to regularly invest, but what we have isn’t just good “for Indiana,” it’s good for most schools. Hell, just our new rehab and nutrition areas are going to be better than pretty much anyone in the country at the moment. And yes, I’ve done the research because I’m interested in this stuff.Nope. This will do.
I know you’ve posted this several times, but the logo is accurate.All that and they can't get the state of Indiana logo lined up and centered. Sad.

You must not have sat anywhere directly lined up with the Fifty yard line anytime in the past few years, either that or you're simply a liar.
And that slightly askew look is in fact correct, the east and west borders of Indiana are not parallel

Why on Earth would you accuse someone of lying about the accuracy of a graphic on a football field? Who would really lie about something like that? They may be incorrect, but what incentive would someone have to lie about that? And I don't know where you grew up, but I would be extremely certain someone was lying before I ever publicly called someone a liar. What is happening to this country?You must not have sat anywhere directly lined up with the Fifty yard line anytime in the past few years, either that or you're simply a liar.

I sit between the 40's on the west side. Not only does the logo not bother me, I've never even noticed it being out of synch. Personal preference I suppose, and I'm not an advertising guy, but I suspect you are much more distressed about it than 99% of the folks sitting in the stadium every Saturday.Forgot to add Chriselli, the guy is a known apologist for the Athletic Department in all things right wrong or indifferent.

Same with the ribbon board, same with the helmets and uniforms, same with the songs the band plays. I go to see football. The rest of the stuff is incidental to me. I have my likes and dislikes (despise "Back Home Again in Indiana") but I can live with those things and accept that others don't feel the same. I love that our stadium now looks like a real Power 5 stadium should look. That's a huge step as far as I'm concerned. I don't have to like everything about it to appreciate the improvement.

Overall:
South End Zone:
North End Zone:
West Side:
East Side:
Concessions and restrooms will be improved this offseason as well.
Nicely stated, OC77. I too may not always embrace all these kinds of things, but we are undeniably making strides improving the atmosphere, the stadium, the look and feel of things. What ultimately matters is the quality of the product on the field, and that seems to be headed in a positive direction.I sit between the 40's on the west side.

I hope you'll reconsider. This freeloader appreciates these posts.With that said, I’m just going to stick to posting this on the premium board from now on. I’m tired of my threads getting hijacked. Somebody else can do it if they want.
It's appreciated by me at least. Hope you change your mind.With that said, I’m just going to stick to posting this on the premium board from now on. I’m tired of my threads getting hijacked. Somebody else can do it if they want.
Well really it is too bad these little things bother you so much. I’ve had tickets for many years and have NEVER noticed the logo thing you think people are making fun of.To each his own. I love most of what they've done with the stadium.
As far as the logo goes, I've heard at least six other IU fans sitting within earshot of our area mention how odd it looked (without any prompting by me) and at least four opponents sitting directly behind me make fun of it.
My thought is simply this: if you're going to spend millions in stadium upgrades (and they look good) why go half..s and not have a symmetrical logo that opponents can't make fun of...
Feel the same way about using a hundred plus year old lullaby, from a 46 year old movie, that was originally meant to honor a coach that was fired 14 years ago (and didn't sound that great even then), same thing with the Kentucky Fried Chicken uniforms (hell, they're lucky the University wasn't sued for copyright infringement on most of that goofy looking crap). At least, we fixed that...
Now I get there prior to warmups and often stay till well after the game so maybe I notice this stuff more because of that (the logo imbalance really stands out with no one on the field). All I do know for sure is that all three of the things that bother me affect how our team (rightly or wrongly) is precieved by others with no existing affiliation to the team or the university, and not in a positive way. They allow others to make fun of all the hard work both the team and the school have put into to reaching this point and there's simply no good reason for it.
Spending millions on other upgrades and not springing for hundreds on an easy fix is odd in the extreme and when it affects our "brand" presentation every time the TV camera centers up on the 50 yard line and not fixing it is in my way of thinking, foolish to the extreme!
Now I'm glad it doesn't bother you; it does bother me, a lot, that it doesn't bother Fred Glass, who's supposed to be protecting and presenting the INDIANA brand in the best possible way at all times.
I always thought attention to detail was supposed to be one of Freds strengths but I guess that must only go for the basketball program...
Exactly. I can’t stand half of what the band plays, and the lighting in 75% of the stadium is terrible, but that doesn’t mean that the stadium doesn’t look about 500% better than it used to. Most people don’t care about the band anyway.I sit between the 40's on the west side. Not only does the logo not bother me, I've never even noticed it being out of synch.
