augolf1716 21,150 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Go back for yourself and see what Gus' record is during his 3 years at Auburn. His 10-3 record at Arkansas State means nothing to me because I'm not an ASU fan. I am an Auburn Tiger fan. So what he's done at as Auburn head coach is the only thing that matters. Now now a4e you know better......good try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuCivilEng1 11,010 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I know that this really isn't a pressing issue, but does anyone know what's going on with the back of the Jumbotron? I'm aware that they play on putting up screens in the future, but you'd think that would at least make it look completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently all plans are on hold for anything to do with JHS, including but not limited to the flip side of AubieTron. The Administration tried to appease the fanbase with a giant scoreboard in an effort to quiet the masses in the wake of the dismal ending to the 2014 football season.

PatBoCamRob 30 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I'm very glad we didn't pursue this. Not that I wouldn't enjoy our stadium being nicer. But, we just can't sustain it. Can you imagine if we had had a good couple of years and then hit the bad streak after doing the construction? Right now, the athletic department is requiring all new season tickets inside the 20s- lower bowl- to be scholarship donors. $3,000/ea. The resale market doesn't top that figure, except in the Nelson Club. I think there will be some back pedaling in the years to come. We weren't going to get thousands of people to commit to 2X ticket pricing to fund a new form of experience that would appeal primarily to the upper mass-affluent.

Build it, and they will come. Very frustrated that we have been teased with renovations for now a second time and nothing to come to fruition.

Just the new tickets sold or is JJ raising the price on everyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money isn't a issue. Surprised, not really, that JJ is raising the prices like he is on the ticket inside the 20's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea it's pretty sad. Why would they not just throw the old screen up there, until they could figure out what they wanted to do? At this point, it's like they're keeping that stupid pos up there on purpose to troll us. Ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUBwins 10,075 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I believe it was discussed there was no way to save the old scoreboard. Something to do with the structure supporting it, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUsince72 11,084 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I heard that they did install a larger scoreboard on that end but after seeing Aubietron it shrank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win4AU 4,052 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I'm still PO'd with the placement of the Aubietron. First 10-20 rows infront of it have 0 view. Either Jay was ok with a section of season ticket holders not being able to see their new investment or he and the architects didn't have the foresight to know that was a problem. Who knows how'd they screw up the north endzone seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only you could put it somewhere where everyone could see it would be to fly it over the field or make the field, itself, a giant screen.

It actually overhangs the last two rows. Good if it starts to rain I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
