Great news! I thought this project was going to be years away due to the exorbitant price for such little product, but hey, works for me!

Learfield is paying for the board as part of their media rights licensing agreement.

Wow! Me too!

Hopefully this will allow better use of our video board as well.

Cool.

NMSU signed up with Learfield this Spring and I was wondering what kinds of things to expect.

TxSt, UTA, and ULM also with Learfield:

So Learfield puts in the board and includes ads which increase in value when the games are broadcast?

Certainly would help

If memory serves me correctly does that make georgia southern and troy the only SBC members with ribbon boards in the conference?

App put in four 50' ribbon boards in 2012. Are Troy and GS's full length of the stands ribbon boards?

Troys video ribbons are full length of the home and visitor side.

Once the endzone expansion is done we will have a 2nd video board in the stadium matching our 1250sq current one.

181 feet long and will span roughly between the 25 yard lines, per our local beat writer.

TXST has ribbon board along home and visitor sides

Almost 12M over 15 years. Damn. Now all we need is Georgia Power a Southern Co. To buy the naming rights for 20M and help fund the home side expansion.

I've often wondered why the boards weren't centered at the 50. The OCD part of me wants to squeeze them together.

ribbon board 10-10 on each side, center of the NEZ; with score boards in the "corners"

Without a doubt the nicest stadium in the Sun Belt.
