New Gampel Video Board

[TheChamps990411]

The old board was one of the last pieces of “university of connecticut” signage we had. Of course now replaced with the vile nike “uconn”. The further we move away from the word connecticut the further we are from god

I really hope your joking. If so, well done this gave me a good laugh.

What's the score in that example graphic? PC 60-26 UConn?

You give people gold bars and they complain they're too heavy.

Its crazy how in 2024 a University thinks its a good idea to get away from it's primary potential market (the residents of the State of Connecticut). The closer the ties to Connecticut the more fans the University can capture outside its direct student/alumni/staff base.

I have never understood it and probably never will. That's why I always try to say I'm a fan of "Connecticut" or "Connecticut Huskies" whenever possible in written communication and even when I'm talking to someone

They should always proudly try to market "Connecticut" as part of their branding strategy because a lot of people tend to follow teams based on geographic association. Who knows - it may help draw more fans to football games outside traditional alumni base.

Those are just my 2 cents. Maybe they looked at the data and determined otherwise. who knows

Does it come with WiFi?

I'll never understand the point of wasting money on stuff like this. Make real quality of life improvements; Concourse, bathrooms, better vendors, anything that makes going to the games less difficult. Was anyone complaining about the old video board?

I've seen a lot of people just on boneyard alone complain about the old board.

I don’t think this is taking up much of the budget in the grand scheme of things. It just looks better. It’s like updating your microwave in your kitchen

I really like to be able to see the score and stats at the games. This looks like a nice addition which will also liven up the place.

I think it was brought up during one of the triple double games that nobody in the arena knew he was approaching one because the scoreboard doesn't show that. 1st world problems, but I think it was a needed upgrade

 

[Leebo]

Its 26-20 UConn

It is kind of strange that they didn't try to get an angle where the whole screen is unobscured.

 

[Hunt for 7]

When your scoreboard is almost as wide as your arena, I think you need a bigger arena!

It was the second of two unforgivable sins committed by susan herbst during her 8-year reign of terror from 2011-2019. The first: ending spring weekend

 

[Deepster]

Classic Boneyard crapping on a bigger, cleaner, more updated scoreboard. Why would anyone ever want that?!

For younger fans, they want great wifi (top priority) and high quality video boards. My son and his friends never mention concourse, bathrooms, better vendors,... as an issue.

But I don't throw out my functioning microwave for a shiny new one. This is an aesthetic improvement that does nothing to functionally improve the experience of attending games, besides showing stats i could see on my phone if we invested in better WIFI instead.

I really like to be able to see the score and stats at the games. This looks like a nice addition which will also liven up the place.

The score was easily visible imo. I'd rather invest in WIFI as a quality of life improvement that also allows you to pull up the box score whenever you want.

Needed is a stretch but it'll be a small improvement generally speaking.

When I was 15 I didn't think about these things either.

If we wanna be nitpicky, we could also point out that Karaban has apparently joined the women's team...or maybe it's Paige who's joined the men's team.

.888888!666667!6666667- my liver (probably)

 

[TerryBoyz]

More or less distracting than the 10,000 screaming fans?

Or Jock Jams!

 

[BigFanCT]

Is it taking away seats for the students?

 

[El Obrero]

Get out!

UConn was UConn before NIKE existed. The name UConn has NOTHING to do with NIKE. Nike did design the awful new logo.

You know not of what you speak. God likes UConn. UConn is God's favorite team.
