Neb. will install giant video screen

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) -- Installation of a giant video screen on the north end of Memorial Stadium began this week and will be operational when Nebraska opens the football season Sept. 2 against Louisiana Tech, a university official says.

The 33-foot-high, 117-foot-wide Mitsubishi DiamondVision screen is being perched above the 6,500 new seats that are part of a $50 million football facilities upgrade. The video board cost $4.5 million, nearly $500,000 under the initial $5 million budget for the project.

The screen is made of 3.6 million LEDs (light-emitting diodes). The LEDs are spread among 168 panels, which are guided into place by a crane at ground level and crews working within the video board's frame.

Each piece is bolted into iron girders that are buried in the bedrock below the stadium.

"They're not going to fall out," said Shot Kleen, director of operations for Husker Vision.

Installation should take five days.

Mitsubishi, which manufactures the LED elements, will test the system in July.

Crews also will install two 24-foot-wide LED screens in the southeast and southwest corners of the stadium to replace Husker Vision screens that were put up in 1994.

New LED scoreboards will be installed at field level in the southwest and northeast corners, Kleen said.

Memorial Stadium became the first college-only stadium with video screens when the original Husker Vision screens were installed.

Memorial Stadium's new screens are touted as the biggest in college football.

"We designed this not to be the biggest," he said, "but (we designed it) to our needs and our fans' (needs) and our stadium."

from the looks of the Cam, I'm thinking it's almost done.

My guess is the screen will fill in the rest of the right side and the left side is going to be a big billboard/advertisement.

 
awesome im watching them put in the screens on the online cam, they have the crane moving and everything, i cant believe they are doing this today with the wind the way it is. the screens are flappin in the wind..

 
from my humble estimates I would say they are 92% done. Looks like they only need one more days work on screen installation! :clap
