If this is true, it will look even more massive mounted on top of Neyland……the jumbotron at TX stadium & the Braves jumbotron are set low to the ground.

The area of the jumbotron now is larger than Texas's, from what I understand, it's just not all screen. As of home opener 2009, it will be all HD video screen.

That is how I understood it. If being bigger than Texas requires an expansion then I guess that's the case. I don't know I can't answer that specifically.

And documentation? No. But if I wanted to lie and start a rumor, it would have been something damaging to Alabama.

Texas is the largest in the country.

The University of Tennessee just completed plans and finalized contracts for the upgraded Jumbotron that will debut at the 2009 home opener.

They have selected a high definition Mitsubishi DiamondVision screen. UT has also upgraded all of its camera and video equipment for high definition resolution. Basically, the entirety of the space of the existing jumbotron will be one big HD screen, with all text programmed digitally.

For comparison's sake, if you've seen pictures of Texas's jumbotron, ours will be bigger.

"Naw," you'll say, "but everything's bigger in Texas!"
Not jumbotrons.

Do you have a link to where this was announced TJ? It's hard to believe without something official.

It has to get replaced sometime soon...It is a Sony and they don't make them anymore. They had to buy up all the parts for it so if it broke they had them. I have heard that they leave it on all the time because they are afarid that if they turn it off that it will not come back on.

Could you image a screen bigger than Texas's sitting up there...Sat night in Neyland would be awesome!

Does anyone else sit in Sec. P, Q and the lower south endzone and resent the fact that we can't see the jumbotron? Why would they not have considered the thousands who can't see it at all when they installed the thing to begin with and spent the money to put one in the south end? Some of us can see those dinky tv sets that they hang from the steel beams and are worse than 1960's tv sets, but I have friends who sit below us who can't even see those....

So where would you recommend they put the jumbotron?
