But based upon the comments on this board in other threads that display doesn't work about 99.7 % of the time. Here's hoping the new indoor vid board has got a much better "up-time" .
BTW is something going to be done about that I75 display board . Nothing spells small time better than an outdoor video display that has not worked in years with your name displayed near it!

Last time I talked to Neil about it the technology to even run the I75 board is antiquated and no longer supported (similar to the old game scores on the end zone boards inside the Arena). There were no specific funds to re-do it right away in the Arena reno, but were savings found during the process, it would be looked into.
Im sure Daktronics makes a solution for it. All it takes is someone with a large enough checkbook.
I agree about the acid-washed/painted concrete inside. Whatever they did or however they did it, it looks 100% better. The old concrete looked dark and dirty like a cell block on Alcatraz.
