Re: New Scoreboard

[Stephen Wuebker]

No, I was not there last night so I can't really comment on it.  One of 
these days UC will schedule a sporting event during a time that I do not 
have class, or classes will end for the quarter.

I was under the impression from the photos I've seen that the new 
scoreboard is really nothing but a large video board, so in theory they 
could put whatever they wanted where ever they wanted to on the screen. 
 If this is the case, the usability issues will work themselves out 
over time as the person running the board figures out all of the new 
features and the best way to display all of the available information.

Yes the previous board was nice because it could display video, a lot of 
people thought there were too many ads, esp. for Kroger, and the layout 
was different from one before that, so that was cause for grumbling.
