RE: Video Boards?
The ribbon according to the Georgia Dome is... Two LED ribbon boards that run goal line to goal line on both the North and South Side of bowl. Alpha/Numeric messages, animations or logos can be displayed, flashed and animated on screens. Overall display size: 40 ft H X 360 ft W
So that times 2 as well.
Which with the video boards is 33,648 Sq ft total.

I believe Troy probably has the top facility as it just opened in 2012.
It's not the biggest, but we arnt talking about size are we?
I would say USA has 2nd after that maybe ULL. Not sure.

I am assuming in baseball the top 4 would be in some order Troy, South Alabama, Ga. Southern and Louisiana.

RE: Video Boards?
Baseball at Ga. Southern is clearly a more popular sport than basketball and our facilities show that. I think next spring when other Sun Belt teams start coming to our baseball facility they will be impressed. For basketball I doubt many will be overly impressed.
This is off topic a bit but I really look forward to playing Troy in all the sports. When Ga. Southern and App. St. were being considered for membership in the Sun Belt Troy's AD was one of our biggest advocates. I am glad to be in a league with Troy--- we belong so much more here than in a league with Elon, Samford, Wofford, etc.

UALR probably has one of the top 4.

Texas State remains in the lowest tier of basketball facilities so long as we have that stupid wall....
Thank goodness there are talks about renovating in the next few years

I think ULM baseball is definitely in the top for convo. Not sure about Georgia Southern's. Never seen.

RE: Video Boards?
ULM's may be above Ga. Southern's. I have not been to ULM's field. I guess I am just going off what Commissioner Benson said when he said our baseball facility would be in top 4 in Sun Belt. I was assuming he has been to every one.
Who would you say have the top 4 football facilities in the league?

Troy has to be top 4 when you talk about football stadiums...ULL has a ugly press box, so does ark state.
IMO
1. Texas state
2. Troy
3. App State
4 ULL/ stAte
Troy has one of the top football stadiums but our football operations center/football locker rooms are one of the worst. That's where our 28million dollar expansion is taking care of.

What's behind the wall? Is it more arena they just don't want to open up, or was that part never built?
As for App, our arena will please the league, and should be one of the better ones. I just hope our folks will remember where it is, after the Capel years. Our baseball facility is adequate. It's a little small, and lacks some of the modern conveniences, but it's nice none-the-less.

RE: Video Boards?
I would say App's football facility which I have been to numerous times will certainly be in the top 4 in the Belt. I would put App's basketball facility well above ours but I would put our baseball facility a good bit above App's.

We're rebuilding our press box entirely this year, and expanding West Side seating In a couple years, you wont even recognize our stadium

Nice, didn't know that. We won't be far behind with our expansion..
I wasn't expecting a new video board and ribbon so soon so I'm happy.

Grassy area outside. Don't feel like tracking down an aerial view.

#3. Troy at 1250 sq/ft?
Please lets get this pissing match started and post your square footage!
ASU Requested a larger board when you guys got a larger board. We're 1625 square feet now.
So we got the circumcised version and y'all got to keep the foreskin?
