For Tiger fans that haven’t been keeping up with it, Clemson is getting a new video board (and sound system thank god), a new ribbon video board all the way around, and 2 new video boards on the west zone side (both will be about 32’ x 24’).  I’ve been told, though idk how accurate it is, that the ribbon boards will be used for ads and there won’t be as much ad space on the video board.  And the coots thought they were special…

New ribbon board all the way around.  You can also see the new cell towers on top of the stadium, not a fan of them visually personally but hey whatever.

Old video board

New video board.  The tiger on top I’m told is being repainted and will be operational soon, and the banner up top is being replaced to add 2011 ACC championship to it.

Can’t wait until September!  Valley is going to be rocking!  Now lets pray for a night game at some point.  Can’t wait to see this played on it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCLt6VPudwk

Looks good. I was actually watching a replay of one of Clemson’s games and thought to myself that you guys could use a new scoreboard.

Pretty cool. I like the cell towers. That will be nice to actually be able to get service unlike at many places.

Arent those lightning rods and not cell towers?

They are cell towers

FSU got the new ribbon boards a few years ago and I think it was a good addition.

Almost that time….

Still waiting to see pictures of the boards in the Westzone.

With a packed house, at night….... that will be badass.

Yes it will TB12.  And for the record, USCjr is building a new one too…...and its nothing short of impressive.  Drove by it the other day.  One of the largest screens I’ve seen in my life.  I don’t think one that size would fit well for our purposes, but for them….hey rock on, again its quite impressive.  At least we’ll have 3 to their 1 LOL.

When is the rest of the ACC getting their video boards and indoor practice facilities… etc.??? I’m sure its soon.

With the giant new TV contract and everyone rolling in money it has to be soon.

New boards going up in the WestZone corners.  Gonna be siiiiiiiiiiiiick.  I can’t imagine a night game now, wow its gonna be awesome.  New sound system too, only a few schools in the country have this new type of sound system.

Tech upgraded Bobby Dodd’s video board, sound system, and ribbon boards a couple years ago and it did make a big difference.  Nice looking setup tigers, hope to see it live someday, no doubt displaying a 3 point differential. 

Garnet_gold, your question made me think, who all has indoor practice facilities?

GT’s opened last August

VT announced in June plans for a $20M football/multi-sport facility. They are battling the tree huggers so who knows when it will get done

Clemson’s might be ready for bowl practice.  Link is to a live webcam to watch construction.

FSU is trying to get their’s open for the 2013 season or early 2014

and Duke of all schools has one.  That’s where P. Manning was working out this offseason. 

I think that’s it.  Interesting that (as of Jan 2011) only 6/12 SEC teams had an IPF

Here’s an article from Orange & White from Jan 2011 about ACC facilities
