Yes for this season. If someone what’s to stoke a check to pay for it they can make it happen for next.

Frankly as big as the one board is, if you can't see it then adding another isn't really going to help

Be weird to see the players constantly looking over their shoulders

We will see how it works out, but the modern multifunctional LED scoreboard is called upon to do more than provide the traditional down/distance information. It is asked to provide instant replays, social messaging (Happy birthday to the Jones party, honors for VA groups, etc.), school announcements, entertaining light & sound shows, etc. If the stadium is later enclosed on both ends,, a second scoreboard becomes needed.

During the time of the upper deck, Legion Field needed four scoreboards - one behind each end zone and a mini board under each end of the deck since fans in upper rows of the east stands had no sight line to either end zone board. One of the mini boards was salvaged when the deck was demolished and mounted above the east stands.

Did not realize that sections 124-126 in the East Side Scholarship Section would be legit cushioned seats.
I'm even more excited now!

No views from the upper deck.

There’s a drop down menu you have to change to 200 level

Looking at https://www.seats3d.com/ncaa/uab/football/#/ and found something interesting. Is that a ribbon board I am spying at the base of the east upper deck? This could provide game info for the south end zone folks who don't want to be constantly turning around. Also would help our sideline.

I still think there has to be something for the team going south to north to see score, gametime (especially final mins to halftime/end of game), down & distance. I’m surprised that it’s not required.

It is... they were testing it the other day. Ive got some screen shot, but no real way to share them other than Twitter. I've tried uploading here but says I have no storage.

That light at the top of the press box in your twitter pics looks to be similar to the lights under the interstate bridges downtown. This lighting could possibly be a theme linking the Uptown District, City Walk, Protective Stadium and BJCC Arena.

I think the seats in these sections are similar to the non-cushion seats at Bartow. The middle sections on the west side are actually cushioned. Saying that, a chair still beats a bench, and guarantees your seat space isn't encroached upon.

In the virtual seating view, they appear to be cushioned same as the west side. Of course, it’s virtual.

In the seat selection software (that we don't have access to after our selections), the descriptions were different for the west and east side. The west side seats specifically stated "cushioned", while the east side simply stated stadium chair.
