skerfan1705 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I had not seen this posted yet so I will go ahead with it.... How did the new big screens and the ribbon boards add or take away from the game? Was High Def in Memorial Stadium as beautiful as it is in my dreams? And of course...was Schnellenberger's mustache as glorious in person as it appeared on tv? Quote Link to comment
typ3kal Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 The ribbon boards don't take away from the game- they add to it. The High Def was nice, it was noticeable but not as large of an upgrade as I thought I would see. Schnellenberger's mustache was very Col. Sanders esque. Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Speaking of Schnellenberger, did he get hurt any after that nasty hit out of bounds? On tv it looked like he hit his head pretty good on the ground or at the very least, snapped his head back pretty good. Quote Link to comment

I think his moustache probably provided enough air resistance to cushion his fall. Quote Link to comment
carlfense Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 The high def on the big screens looked good. I can't really say for sure how much better it was than standard def without seeing them side by side . . . and my memory of how it looked last November is a little fuzzy. As I said when they were first proposed, I'm not a fan of the ribbon boards. They looked tacked on to me . . . like they didn't belong there at all. (as compared to the screen in North stadium that looks like it should be there.) My primary complaint, as I feared, is that the ribbon boards showed at least 80% advertisements. Most of the time the ribbon boards showed the game clock in the middle, with advertisements on each side of that. Just outside of those advertisements were some game stats (passing yards, rushing yards, etc.) and outside of those stats were even more advertisements. Also, because the stats were now on the ribbon boards, roughly half of the big screen in North is now devoted to ads . . . yippee. I liked it better without the ribbon boards . . . and don't get me started on the red paint and diagonal lines on the press box. Edit: Schnellenberger's mustache is MAGNIFICENT. I wish Pelini would grow one. Quote Link to comment

huskrplaya Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 An HDTV owners worst nightmare... The big screen has a dead pixel! Haha i saw that...there was a green dot i couldn't take my eye off. I really like the ribbon boards though. They added a lot of feeling to the stadium. It also added scores to other games like when i saw BYU beat oklahoma. Quote Link to comment
hskrfan4life Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 see i'm split on it, i like 'em but then i think about it more and i don't like them. but everyone has there own opinion. GET RID OF ADS! Quote Link to comment
skerfan1705 Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 GET RID OF ADS! I'm all for getting rid of the ads...but if we did, then we wouldn't have the $$$ to buy all these fancy Screens that we all love so much.... Quote Link to comment

Don't you remember watching the '95 OU game and the kept putting a picture up of Captain Kangaroo next to Schnellenberger? Now THAT was a resemblance. Quote Link to comment

Enhance Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 and don't get me started on the red paint and diagonal lines on the press box. This is by far my biggest complaint when you encompass all of the changes for this year. I really do not like the way it looks on the press box, at all. It looks really tacky and out of place. Also, I really wish they would get rid of the advertisements on the big screen and solely do them on the ribbon boards. I think the ribbon boards are fine, but if you are going to devote most of the game to displaying advertisements on the ribbon board, then maybe you can open up the big screen a bit more. For example, add the score, down and yards to go, and the clock time to the bottom of the screen, and then make the rest the football game. Quote Link to comment
Dave5 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Each day I become even more amazed at what people will find to complain about. The big screen looked great. The ads aren't going away, so get over it. The ribbon boards were fine and not a distraction in the least bit. Whatever you're complaining about regarding the press box, I have no idea, because I was watching the game. There are too many people who just seem to have a need to bitch about something.
