Here are the latest photos of the progress towards the installation of the new scoreboards. I'll try to continue to make regular updates to this site so the "out of town" Spartans can continue to see the progress as it moves along to completion.
Enjoy!

I have never seen a loader do what it is doing in the photo "Spartan Stadium - South Section View 1 - 05/20/2012"...must have some sweet aftermarket hydraulics on it.

I've been wondering what the AD was going to do with the three large football banners that are on the southside of the stadium. Now that the mega scoreboard is going there Ive been curious what Hollis has planned.

Much bigger.
According to Trevor's calculations:
* Keep in mind that these two photos are to scale with each stadium photo, HOWEVER they are NOT to scale with each other. Also, I'm assuming that MSU's 3D rendering was correct and to scale.
Some stats:
Old south end zone video board size: 567 sq. ft.
New south end zone video board size: 5,412 sq. ft.
New north west video board size: 1,653.75 sq. ft.
New north east video board size: 1,653.75 sq. ft.
College football stadium video boards:
1) Texas -7437 sq. ft.
2) Miami(FL) - 6717 sq. ft.
3) USC - 6000 sq. ft.
4) Michigan State - 5412 sq. ft. (being built)
5) Arizona - 5352 sq. ft.
6) Miss State - 5217 sq. ft.
7) Ohio State - 5208 sq. ft. (being built)

Someone posted this earlier, but does anyone know the what the plans are regarding the existing signs all over the outside of the stadium that will undoubtedly be blocked by these huge boards? Hope they replace them and don't just leave them while being totally covered, thats just lazy. Also will there be a bunch of steel showing on the bottom of these things or can those be bricked or use cement?
