Looks very nice but they need to stop with the FALSE claims of having the 2nd largest HD Board in college football, that is our claim to fame.
Minnesota is 108' x 48' = 5184
MSU (Main Center Board) is 111' x 47' = 5217
Furthermore when you compare Total Scoreboard size of ours you get this.
UT divides the main board into Ads and Stats. MSU has separate HD boards for that. From the MSU Davis-Wade Stadium page..
"When completed, the new board will measure 152 feet wide by 135 feet, 6 inches tall, with a main HD screen 111 feet wide by 47 feet high." (This is now completed)
From a copy of the plans we can get the individual screen sizes to make total Scoreboard Size

Main Board = 111' x 47' = 5217
Ribbon - Scoreboard/Stats = 5' x 111' =555
Side Panels - Ads/Stats = 10' x 47' = 470
Total Scoreboard Screen Area = 6242 square feet
Texas (Godzillatron) 134' x 55' = 7370
Still not close to godzillatron but thats a lot of Damn Square footage of screens
*edit* I know noone cares , but the Side Panels I had labeled as 15' x 47', was incorrect, and they are only 10' x 47', and the whole space from side to main screen was 15'. Apologies for reading the plans wrong. Texas is still bigger by a full 1,128 square feet.
Anyways..back on point.
Check out Minnesota's new digs....
Yes, the scoreboard and field are off-center. This was done on purpose so there is a view of the Minneoplis skyline. This is also
the reason the stadium was built in a East- West orientation..

The stadium's field is oriented in an east-west configuration, the only football stadium in the Big Ten to be laid out this. Fans will understand this orientation come gameday, with the sweeping views of both campus as well as the glimmering Minneapolis skyline through the structure's magnificently open west end.Will hold a little over 50k
