Can't State's New Dix Stadium Scoreboard

[ZZZips]

I stole this picture of the scoreboard construction from the flush's message board. Amazing how we share all the same sponsors except for Pepsi/Coke.Do you think Laing Kennedy would have started this project if UA had not started Infocision Stadium?

He sure wouldn't have. Also note that you can put as many diamonds as you want on a piece of shit, but it's always going to be a piece of shit.

I lurk on their page, and they talk about us a LOT. I'm glad we aren't so engrossed with our arch rival......or are we???? Actually, I think they would have built it. There is a facilities arms race going on in the MAC right now, and Can't is just trying to keep up. I think Miami started it with their new scoreboard and stands, then Akron built the field house and the outdoor practice facility. BG has finished their endzone facility, NIU has some nice upgrades along with Ball State. CMU put up a new scoreboard and, obviously, Akron will be winning the arms race as of fall 2009. There was a website somewhere summarizing this, but I can't seem to find it right now. I did manage to dig up this from MacReport Online.http://macreportonline.com/index.php/20080...n-Upgrades.htmlOutside of the Rubber Bowl, DIX was IMO, the WORST stadium in the MAC and an absolute DUMP! It was laughable how much it looked like a glorified HS football field. Isn't it true they have never had a sellout? They are throwing a little cash into it to keep it up, and will brag about how they have the most advanced jumbo-tron in the MAC. Personally, I would rather be in CMU's shoes, 2 time MAC Champs and picked for a 3-peat, than have ICS on the horizon! It looks like it will be a nice, and much needed upgrade. I'm actually looking forward to seeing it this season.

As we're on the topic of MAC Football Facilities, here's my thoughts of the stadiums I've been to and which ones I think are the best:1) Western Michigan - First time there this past season and it is a GREAT facility. Looked pretty rough when we drove by a few hours before the game as the home stands looked to be in rough shape. All that was blocked by the nearly sold out crowd come game time. Stands all around, new endzone facility and upgrades to the "Visitors" side. Big Time atmosphere! Good scoreboard as well along with some good signage. They are landlocked though being with a hill on one side and having a major road on the other. 2) Miami - The Cradle of Coaches facility in the endzone along with the new visitors stands are very nicely done. Overall, very nicely done, they just need to fill in the other endzone to give it that bigtime atmosphere.3) CMU - I love that place. Stands on 3 side, but there aren't that many rows. It gives a big game atmosphere but isn't all that big. 4) Akron - The most "Big time" looking stadium with the most "Big Time" atmosphere when there's a good crowd (Miami 2004). I think ICS will trump this!5) OU - Definately some history to this place, and, IMO, it should blow away all the other facilities except the expansions they have done look HORRIBLE! The hill in the endzone also doesn't enclose the facility which would give it that "Big Time" atmosphere.6) BG - Haven't been there since 2005, so I can't comment on the new endzone facility, but it looked like a glorified HS field and was pretty cookie cutter.7) EMU - I loved what the building in the one endzone that had their "Hall of Fame" or whatever. I think the BB arena was in there as well. But the place is just too big for EMU and was very cookie cutter. 8) Can't - Glorified HS field that wasn't well kept. I think the new upgrades will help it a LOT.Haven't been to the rest so I can't comment on those. Visiting every MAC stadium is on the list of things to do in my life, so hopefully I can make that happen.

He sure wouldn't have. Also note that you can put as many cubic zirconia as you want on a piece of shit, but it's always going to be a piece of shit.

There, that's better.

Haha. If that 'Flames' meant the UIC Flames, I could assure you we probably got drilled lol.. Although we did beat them and dominate them in Youngstown this year!

I was over that way today and I think they were just firing up the scoreboard for the first time. I have to say, the picture quality wasn't very good, but other than that, it looked like everything was working perfectly! I have to say, I was VERY impressed with what I saw. I just happened to have my camera on me and snapped a pic. Take a look!
