mike650h 1 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I really hope the banner looks better in person... I am not a fan. On the bright side, it's not permanent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logan adams 333 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Agreed. At least it is temporary. It looks like a black and white version of "Starry Night". Is it certain that it is temporary? Will 2 video boards definitely be placed on the back? al.com article cited a few pages back quotes Jacobs as saying the final determination has not been made yet. Video boards are one of the options being considered. I just wonder what else they could put there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFDTiger80 790 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 B & W of Toomers Oaks after they've been rolled. Personally, i like it. I had no idea that was Toomers Oaks when rolled. Cool when I think about it, but it is not obvious when looking at the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerOfDixieland 3,226 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 B & W of Toomers Oaks after they've been rolled. Personally, i like it. No visiting team fans will know what that is. Shoot, not even half of Auburn fans will be able to recognize it. I can't even see it. It looks extremely cheap, which it is. Good grief, you need more to worry about. It jumped off the picture when I looked at it, no doubt what that image is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenn4AU 24 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Saw it in person yesterday. Knew immediately what it was. Looked just great to me. And I couldn't give 2 flips whether any visiting fan knows what it is or not. It is not for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgr4lfe 220 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I'm surprised they are covering the speaker area like that. I think a painted blue metal mesh (like a speaker grate) look with the interlocking AU painted on it would have been a better look. Maybe this is something temporary??

AUsince72 11,084 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 The center AU to cover speakers is being put up! via @AUeagleTrainer It concerns me that the scoreboard is showing 6 zones in which they will be releasing spiders... Hopefully those zones are in the opposing teams' sections? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could implement some nice design elements into a cover. Hopefully temporary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

struttinduck01 2 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 The speaker cover leaves something to be desired, imo. Wasn't it supposed to mirror the bevel around the screen. Couldn't they have at least made the cover the same color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could implement some nice design elements into a cover. Hopefully temporary. I'm a little surprised too, but I understand it. I am assuming it is an "acoustically transparent" fabric, which makes sense from an audio standpoint. I would hope that it is stretched tight enough that it won't be flapping in the breeze. It will have to be replaced every few years, if not annually, but I suspect changing the design is not in the plans. Just my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
