It's ... ALIVE!!! The New Neyland Stadium JumboTron is On

I just received a call from the better half.  She's on scene (well, on campus, which is incidentally on scene) and informed me that they're running test patterns on the screen right now.

With luck, we'll get some photos from her that show the screen with shiny things going one shortly.  If that works out, I'll post them here.  But until then, Gate21 has you covered with a nice montage of photos of the new (and old) screen(s).  You might want to hurry, though; the pictures at the Gate are from a guy's photobucket list, and we all know what happens with photobucket pictures over time.

[Note by hooper, 08/07/09 12:27 PM EDT ]  You'll notice that the shell isn't fully constructed, as some of the interior is exposed.  But you get the point.  This thing is cool.--hooper

PHOTOS!!!!

Got an email from a friend in Knoxville today

who said that when they tested it last night, the glow/illumination could be seen all the way from the 275 interchange in downtown. That thing is massively bigger than the old one.

In that case,

I might be able to watch the replays from my house.

It’s, um, screen testing… gotta make sure that the thing works, right?

Yeah, that’s the ticket!

awesome

Was it permitted, or more like a break-in thing?

So, I say...

That they start selling tickets to watch away games on the new screen — complete with concessions. Could be a money maker.
After all, with a stare like this…
Photobucket
…you’d kind of have to go (or fear death)…
