Good news, folks. At last night's volleyball game, we had stats and score on the BIG BOARD. Progress.
Thanks for the update. It would be cool to eventually see the inner workings of how the board is being operated via Bobcat TV or some other OU source.

Thought I'd bump this to see what people think. Since the thread died I'm guessing few have performance complaints?

I enjoy having the stats and I really enjoy seeing replays. Clarity is spectacular. Sound system is good too, although could probably be turned down a notch, or maybe just the low end, Lou sometimes buzzes a bit.

And I'm guessing the marketing team is loving the extra dollars and businesses are loving the enhanced opportunity to reach the public. Now we just need more public?

Are they putting this to good use during player intros and pregame? That's an opportunity to do great things for both old game action videos and ads.

I was pretty underwhelmed with the pregame intros. The video and music are the antithesis of compelling.

Regarding the board itself, I heard a couple of folks complaining that the stats are only presented on the two larger screens. I hadn't noticed that.

All in all, he screens are a huge improvement, though.

Regarding our new seating (yes, my first home game in more than a year), I can't imagine the new ones are going to last as long as the originals. The seat in front of mine was damaged, and the one next to me had a broken fastener, leaving a rather unpleasant "spike" that will tear someone's clothing if not actually puncture skin.

They sure don't make things like they used to.

I looked quickly on YouTube to see if the intro video is up there- not seeing it. Would love to see what we are showing

I haven't thought the pregame intro videos have been good for several years, actually.

My favorites were when the bobcat was walking the rails of the Convo and then when he ran down route 33 tearing through MAC conference team flags, ending of course with Fiami's.
