Good to see you today.
I dont like that scoreboard is omitting down and time and yards to go

We also didn't see that board above the recruiting lounge for a while.

It was quite annoying as we’re all conditioned to lookat the big scoreboard for the down situation / time situation etc.

A thread about nothing. What a bunch of whining old people. and I am 65.
And yet you felt it necessary to open, read and reply to this thread.
Great factual response. I think a kid just stepped on your lawn - the horror.
It's not a thread about nothing. It's a thread about a multi million dollar scoreboard that DOESN'T GIVE US THE SCORE or any other pertinent info.
And, it also keeps those adds up on the sides most of the time so the "jumbo" screen becomes the small square we had 10 years ago.
The placement of the usable scoreboards are the far corners of underneath where we should be looking at scores
The whole thing is insane.
Not sure the point of a new board if it was going to be the exact same thing as the old one. It is kind of sad that it's already got burn in from those ads after 2 hours of use.
You seem to forget this is Rutgers. Insert Jerry Seinfeld voice: "Why call it a scoreboard if there is no score on it?" Heard in passing they want to keep as much space as possible for advertisements.
We figured out the score was above the recruiting deck, but just hope the recruiting deck does it's assigned task and not something else.
Maybe it was because there were no other games going on at the time?Yeah and they didn’t post scores of other games going on today too
Based on this board? I'd say plenty. I always thought of them as ignorant but maybe they are Def.
And yet you‘re whining. Go figure.
So sad and embarrassing people are actually defending the athletic department on this. It’s another in a long line of decisions made that worsen the fan experience.
Great to see you keep defending your interest in a thread that you consider to be about nothing. You keep doing you grandma!

Since I didn't see the Ads change all game, couldn't they just print them up and hang them outside the scoreboard leaving the full screen video capabilities for dynamic info and video?
Rutgers gonna Rutgers.
when you complete the post game survey just note,,im sure it will be addressed or explained...
will one of the boxes have conference scores when playing when other games are occurring?
seems a BIG10 emblem/advertisement box on the scoreboard is a waste...the should just put a permanent sign along the bottom or top....The should have put a Large Block R at the top of the scoreboard to soften the shape,,,..similiar to the large N in Nebraska's scoreboard at top

Yup, anything to lessen the game experience seems to be embraced by this operations team.
I also think jacking the 50-50 prices to a $20 minimum will keep the jackpots down and bring in less money rather than more. When I bought my 50-50's I noticed no one else around me wanted tix.
Think of it as a multi-million dollar video and advertising board - not a scoreboard and it all make sense.
Strange when I bought my ticket 30 minutes before kickoff the advertised winning value was close to 17k. When I went by the kiosk at halftime it said 15k.
Maybe they were late in updating it. Still I think for a crowd that size it should have been more. Moot point as I did not win so not point in complaining.
The board gives the impression it’s dynamic. But strange that the value decreased by 2k in a 2 hour period.
And $20 last year bought 20 numbers. This year it only buys 10 numbers. So the price doubled.
But of course it was done to "enhance" the game day experience.
As far as the play clock, I believe it is required to be on its own separate little board by rule. That’s so the QB can find it easily.
Nobody in my group had an issue finding the information you all couldn't seem to see. We like the vividness of the scoreboard and the fact that there is more screen being used for actual video rather than advertising.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Go back to the way it was last season.
The info was right there underneath the video screen.
Sorry, but disagree again. You two are in the minority on this one. It took most of the first quarter for people in our section to figure out where the down/distance was posted in the South end zone. Even after knowing where it is, not a good location. Reasonable minds can disagree on these things without two people calling the majority "complainers."
Perhaps the Gameday Guide Week e-mail could have alerted fans to the information.
Do you think that fans paying several hundred to thousands of dollars for tickets should sit silently and shut up and never complain about things that could improve the gameday experience? That's a poor way to treat customers and maintain and build a loyal following. Will say that in the Club, they have really stepped up their game to enhance and ensure a pleasant customer experience. There's no reason why Athletics cannot do this for all the other fans, such as allowing one or two bottled waters to be brought in on a hot day and/or clearly indicating the location of water fountains and drinking water fill stations.
