Going off of memory, I believe this is the first official team-effort in the history of this fledgling website. But hey, there's gotta be a first for everything, and if somebody is going to go out of their way to contribute quality, newsworthy content, then hell freaking yes it's going to be featured on here!
So, courtesy of an anonymous contributor who we'll call n8orade, we've got a first look at the new scoreboard inside The Spectrum!!
At first glance, it looks like we might be going with just the four video boards to handle all the duties, which wouldn't be a bad setup at all given that they will probably be of mind-blowing quality compared to what we're used to. But along the top it looks like they could be doing a circular LED display, similar to
like this. Purely speculation on that, as well as the hope, or at least possibility that there are a set of smaller screens for stats and such that hung just below the four main screens.
While I'd heard a rumor or two that the days of Big Blue repelling from the scoreboard might be over, this setup looks like it could still facilitate such a thing. I'm sure there's plenty more that goes into all that though, so we'll just have to wait and see. (UPDATE: At least one source has stated that Big Blue WILL indeed still be able to drop down from this new scoreboard.)
Anyway, enjoy the little sneak peek. Hopefully we don't get in trouble for this.
Also thanks to the person who contributed this photo! (you know who you are.)
