LED lights coming to Davis Wade

[Mr. Cook]

I heard they are daytime LED lights.***

Correct. The new version that actually absorb darkness— thus creating light. Very cost efficient

 

[HomeBoyDawg]

Don’t laugh. I’m old enough to have gone to the first night game at DWS using temporary lights.

Edit to add:

I was there! First semester at State. Sat on the top row of the student section. Wore cowboy boots and had a cold beer in the back of each boot.

This is not even close to the truth. Did you just make this up to feel six pack cool. Because this is going to be a very nice upgrade to DWS along with some other enhancements to both south video and premium seating.

I went to the contractors website (Techline Sports Lighting, Austin TX) and looked at their "portfolio". They list 17 projects on their website that they are apparently proud of and that includes 15 high school/municipal projects, 1 college with 853 students (William Jewel College in Mizzou), and 1 university project listed. Anybody want to guess which university? I'll save you the time, University of Oklahoma. No, I didn't "make that up", that fine resume is on their website. And this "very nice upgrade to DWS" is the first lighting project in 15 years so any new bulb replacements could be considered a very nice upgrade.

I was there too, played #9 LSU on November 17, 1984 and beat them 16-14. Musco Lighting brought in portable lighting system on the backs of 18 wheeler trailers and set them up outside the stadium mid week that week.

LOL, now we are bitching because a contractor isn't trendy enough. Good lord will it EVER end.

"trendy enough"? I'd call it experienced enough. But I would expect that from an eternal sunshine pumper like you. Do you really get a warm fuzzy feeling about this contractors resume? They've done a few high school ballfields and 1 (ONE) university project that they admit to.

 

[horshack.sixpack]

Or maybe he was implying no lights at all next year because all our games will be at 11 am***

Thank goodness. I expect this will show up in the W column for sure.

I'm pretty confident that I can install lights anywhere based on having installed them somewhere once.

Oh good grief. They have done it before and they are putting up dang LIGHTS.

Is this sarcasm or do you know something?

I absolutely cannot say but you will notice that they are different from others.

You will see. It will be an upgrade but it could have been better. Also, “six pack cool”? Are you 11?

Like the guys that built the deck in RF of Dudy Noble that collapsed?

Or the sign/banner painters that misspelled Mississippi on the back of the scoreboard at DNF?

Or the contractor that went bankrupt building the Old Main Academic Center and had to be replaced using their construction bond they had to put up before beginning construction?

Or the company building the parking garage across from the Hump that failed multiple concrete slump tests?

I was being specific to lights, and a little tongue in cheek, but yes, I believe I could accomplish all of the construction feats you mentioned!

Obviously MSU general contractors and subs can't

 

[PearlRiverCoDawg]

Ain't nothing getting more pumped than those first few notes of Madelon.

Thing that still annoys me about the band is they still play the same songs during the game. Game of thrones has been over for years and they still play the theme song all game!

 

[jethreauxdawg]

I gotta admit, I start sinking down low in my seat every time that spell out is done.

Because the game is about to start?

The director is still in season 3, been to busy working on the choreography

Are you suggesting that our administration makes poor business decisions????????
