I'm still fairly sure that the new largest is the pair of 60 yarders going into the new Cowboys stadium. Anybody know who built that one?

this question is a little off topic, but it does fall under "renovations." is the university really going to cover the bricks that Paige hit with brick colored padding? that was mentioned way back in the practice thread.

I read in a Hubbs article that putting in a cover was definitely going to be done

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!

Yep, you're right.

"Q: Why is the Jumbotron on when the stadium seems empty?

A: The Jumbotron in Neyland Stadium is a first-generation SONY product. SONY no longer manufactures video boards, which makes it very difficult to obtain parts and service assistance.

In fact, for the last three years, the Athletics Department has purchased scrap parts from other screens to keep it functioning. It became apparent this fall that should the screen be turned completely off, it may not be able to restart. As a result, the screen is always on at least in its sleep mode.

The times you see it turned on and showing video are either for testing or for recruiting purposes. It will remain in this state until the Spring Game on April 18.

The Athletic Department is looking at ways to remedy the problem."

Who orders stuff inside the stadium anyway? Maybe a soft drink every few games if there is too much screaming..
