Aside from the scoreboard the only thing you will notice is there should not be falling chunks of concrete.

There are some options, I would think, about how the elements on the scoreboard are arranged. I certanly hope they position the play clock so that people can't stand in front of it and block its view from the field.

If I were to guess it's more 'Darn kids and their RAP music.' Now that they have the video board, maybe, just maybe, we'll see some interactive options for things like what music is played in OUr venues with them.

I didn't make that trip, but I am anxious to see and feel the effects of this on the in stadium atmosphere come September. As I've said before related to a Convo video/scoreboard upgrade, my hope is that they realize the full potential of using the new board and sound systems to improve fan interaction during the game. Using it to engage on Twitter and other social media during the game will go a long ways in improving fan engagement for years to come. There's a "cool factor" associated with pulling from social media to the video board during the game that should not be overlooked.

Our athletic dept doesn't have the numbers that an OSU or UK or bigger D-I institutions have. Those schools have staffers that strictly do social media. At Ohio, they're asked to wear multiple hats.

We are a university, and a sporting event can act as an opportunity for the student body.

If the rules at Ohio are anything like they are where I work (Emory), its absurd to the point of suspecting that HR doesn't WANT you employing undergrads. We had a student want to volunteer in our lab last year, it took WEEKS to get the paperwork squared away, and this was for an unpaid position (albeit one that required some degree of lab safety training/documentation).

Anyone local who can swing by and check it out? It's odd to me that all of this is being done so quietly. Why not publicize the enhancements being made? Hopefully it's not because they are small improvements not worthy of mentioning. We've seen one tweet with a few pics that didn't tell us anything.
