g-mann17 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 I remember hearing at one point that the there would be videoboards on both sides of the scoreboard. Has anyone heard anything during the tours to confirm this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infofan Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 I remember hearing at one point that the there would be videoboards on both sides of the scoreboard. Has anyone heard anything during the tours to confirm this?There will be a video strip/ribbon running on the facing of east upper deck. Of course the main scoreboard in south end of stadium. And a small, auxilliary scoreboard in north endzone ( with score and clock only). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told during the last stadium tour that the closing of Exchange to vehicular traffic (game day only) is still under consideration.

ZachTheZip Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 sounds dangerous for exchange street traffic.Just as dangerous as the video billboards on Route 8 just south of campus? Or maybe the Beacon Journal's video board on their tower in downtown?It won't cause any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottditzen Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 The really big problem will be the safety issue of pedestrians crossing Exchange. That's one dangerous intersection to be walking around, it's much more like an interstate highway than the walkable, urban, neighborhood street that it should be. If they don't end up closing off that section of road, the situation is going to require traffic cops just like surrounding Progressive Field for Tribe games.sounds dangerous for exchange street traffic.Just as dangerous as the video billboards on Route 8 just south of campus?
