IronMan70 3,277 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 That screen looks way taller than 57' Count the rows ... 10ft each and the last one isn't a full 10' ... so 57' seems exact to me. There are 7 rows though...that would make it over 70' if they are 10 ft each, no? Based on the available renderings and plans, the video board panels will not be as large as the steel structure itself. Yes, I believe the smaller top and bottom rows, plus the area on each side, will be used to attach the border treatment we see in the finished photo posted by RiR.

AuCivilEng1 11,012 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 My wife was saying that they should do a AU vs Louisville viewing at the stadium for people that can't make it to ATL. She's so smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's so smart. Heck they should do several things with this new toy. Movie nights for students. Let the recruits play video games on it! lol.

Even still, that looks taller than 57'. I guess the older board being just 30' makes me think this one is just massive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU64 10,122 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Another size perspective shot ... The steel work on it is a major eye sore to be honest... Your opinion....to me, the exposed steel work is impressive....love the structural work on large bridges for example. There is art in a good structural design....JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgufcm 4,101 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 They used to do movie nights at the stadium my first few years at Auburn. Those were great, and they should definitely bring it back for that screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aucanucktiger 1,794 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Movie night on that thing would be an experience. When I was on the Plains free movie night was in Langley Hall with Sonny Smith making announcements & jokes before the viewing. Every time I see Stripes, Excaliber or Escape from New York I think of 'ole Sonny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnWarVet 46 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 EDIT--This didn't quote for some reason..this is in reply to the question about wind speed. Typically in this part of the state structures are required to withstand 90 mph winds or equivalent to a CAT 2 hurricane...although a lot take it up a notch to withstand CAT 3. I agree it would be interesting to see the design specs. I would imagine with this thought it would take an EF 5 tornado or something explosive like a major hurricane to take it down.
