Maverick.AU 13,281 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Is that a tarp covering the speaker section? I was hoping a big legit AU would go there and not a tarp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronMan70 3,277 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 It looks like they stretched the AU tarp tighter on the 1st pic. It looks much better there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunInRed 16,512 Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Is it frustrating to any one else we spend $14M on a new video board and then when it comes down to the "details" we say screw it, and throw a tarp up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This x100000000000000000000. Just seems like we're cutting corners at this point. Why couldnt the back be done as originally planned instead of the temporary murals? I mean whoever is in charge of this project is making me scratch my head for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgr4lfe 220 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Yes, very frustrating. I wondered earlier why they didn't do some kind of cool speaker like mesh metal cover with the interlocking AU on it. Maybe b/c of the sound dissipation they are having something made? and it just hasn't been finished yet? I don't know, but not a fan of the tarp either.

AUEngineer2016 407 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Is it frustrating to any one else we spend $14M on a new video board and then when it comes down to the "details" we say screw it, and throw a tarp up? Incredibly frustrating. Details like this are what make projects great. You don't see Apple make an iPhone or a Macbook and think "Eh, a plastic screen will do". You don't see Ferrari or Lamborghini make a high performance vehicle and not put in the effort to make sure that every little thing, from the exhaust note to the radius of the steering wheel is right. The finishing touches of the board that should make it great are all failing at this point, from the tarp over the speaker section to the empty holes on the backside, to the failed murals that were supposed to cover said holes.

It doesn't seem to match does it. It must have something to do with the ability to create the best purity of sound. But, you would think they would have something that meets the test that is a little more "permanent" looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the size of the board,etc. I expect some of the features are being developed as work progresses..to see what it looks like in real life.... Just wondering?

aubfaninga 16 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Did Auburn get anything like Columbus Georgia got last night with that line of storms? A little after 1AM eastern time we had a mini hurricane come thru. Would have been a nice little test for our new wind catcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
