Well, yeah... That's pretty standard in stadiums with only one video board (in that it would literally be impossible in an open air stadium for every seat to face the video board...)


Everyone in our stadium can see ours unless of course you count the people sitting on the office decks.

Congrats. You (think) you have a better stadium.

I wouldn’t necessarily say better. I mean it is 25 years older.

I wouldn’t say horrible. It’s one of the nicer looking baseball stadiums retrofit for football.

As you’ve noted, work in progress.

A 16% increase in GA St's attendance is 10K per game less than a 10% growth in App's attendance.

Sent from my XT1254 using CSNbbs mobile app

Rounding numbers up, a 10% increase in App's all time highest attended game would be 3,500. That isn't 10,000 more than anything.

Maybe I'm misreading you.

And that was my point when it came to the city of Atlanta's growth. Yes the % was lower, but the actual numbers were higher for the smaller percentage.

You won once in basketball and once in baseball in the past year, but we have beaten you I think every other time we met on a field, court, or course. But sure lets talk about history. The world doesn't have enough Al Bundys to remind you of their 4 touchdowns in 1 game years ago. I have found the people who want to talk history is because that it is all they have.

You're claiming superiority because everyone in your stadium can see the video board? You do realize that the only reason for that is because you don't have a full bowl of seating, right? That's like claiming your car is better than someone else's because you got the base model and don't have to deal with all of those pesky upgrades.

I never claimed anything.

I simply stated in our stadium you can see the board from all the seats, with the exception of the decks that come out for the coaches offices.

Be careful around the Ga State fans. If you say you have something that they don't have, they will take that as a personal insult. They're a sensitive bunch.

RE: Turner Field to be sold to Georgia State University
What does any of this mess, outside of the jumbotron, has to do with this thread?

As been mentioned before, it's an obvious difference in tone in this thread when compared to App's scoreboard and Troy's endzone facility threads or even the minor league soccer stadium for GS.

It's no wonder the presence on this board consists of mainly of the three teams whose members always invading other teams threads while offering little or no relevance at all.

You guys were desperately clinging to it until you started losing. I mean one of us unfurled a banner at midfield after a football game.

That's hardly "clinging." Y'all are not the first team we've done that to so it really has nothing to do with a rivalry.

In any case, you guys made bumper stickers with the score on it the very next year...
But you're right, WE'RE the over-the-top ones that desperately want to keep this rivalry going.

Or the fact the games wouldn't even be competitive for at least 5 years. Not about rivalry with me. It is about serving up dishes of humble pie by the case. Just like people swore up and down we couldn't pull off this stadium. Funny. Now they seem to be the same ones who says it sucks.

Humble pie?? Don't make me go back and find the threads started by Georgia State fans about how GS will never be an FBS school and about how y'all will be inviting us to the dome as your cupcake opener soon. Y'all can't talk smack and also be the victim. It doesn't work that way.
