New Lynah scoreboard

[marty]

Scoreboard is made by a company called Daktronics. Maybe one of you internet sleuths can find a picture of one of a similar size in use to give us an idea of what we might get.

That would mean they can simply push the video stream of gameplay to it in real time.  They can do a lot of things as long as they have the rights.  They could even hold viewing parties in the rink for away games.

If it's like RPI's then yes.  I requested improvements and they pasted the requested info over the video for our viewing enjoyment.

They should get clever during recruiting CGI'ing the recruit in as a player during Cornell game action.  "This could be you."

I mean plus the hookers.

Call me when we get skating cheerleaders.

We had skating cheerleaders in '81 for a few games.  They got booed off the ice.

I got there in 1981-2.  I just missed Brock Tredway, too.  :-(

I don't believe we've talked about the Auxillary Panels. Looks like there are 2 at the other end of the rink. I suspect those would be the only other ones.

I was wondering where they were going to go..   interesting location.. people standing and wearing hats is going to make that hard to see for most of the crowd..

But there's a "No Standing" sign! ::rolleyes::

I don't see any pics of them.  Are these just small boards to display the score, the time, and WHAT A DIFFERENCE IN THIS GENERATION! ads?

supposed to be ribbon boards.. not sure if these are it.. real time stats, imagine saves updated more than once a period.

And that's always been a no standing area. So it won't need significant enforcement.

Ribbon boards are used almost exclusively for ads at most venues, except for when a goal is scored.  Ugh.

people standing in the top row will be enough to block it for 75% of the people.

it took years to get the Dome to start putting real stuff on their ribbon boards.   still not there yet

Those are townie sections. It's unusual to have a lot of them standing.

Daktronics is the major player in scoreboards. Also does other kinds of signage:  video displays, digital billboards, dynamic message signs, transportation center signage. Half-billion-dollar company from South Dakota.
