It would be dope if they put up pictures of the construction process in various stages on www.ncataggies.comOr even a live stream at the construction site (they can even put a button to make donations to athletics conveniently beside the stream window ;D )...Ive seen many schools doing that and i always why not us...I mean wheres the "T" in A&T? As a Technology student, I'm offended lol

I still think they need a jumbo screen on the back portion of the sky box facing the tailgate section. How much extra could it cost and it could be used for any sport including track not to mention student events.

Well considering our financial situation we dont need a new press box either. Not adding a screen is limiting the potential of the stadium. Something we are accoustomed to doing. We spend the most money making up for things we should have done years ago.

We spend the most money making up for things we should have done years ago. personally, if we could afford it, i'd have no problem with a jumbo screen. so i'm not against it, i just don't think we can "afford" it. however, i definitely disagree that we don't "need" a new pressbox. the old one was very inadequate, borderline embarrassing for an fcs program. even though i'm very unlikely to ever use it, i definitely feel the new pressbox is sorely needed. it will encourage coverage from the media for our events, it gives our leadership a means to bring in corporate sponsors, it gets our coaches out of the elements during games, and it enhances the look of the overall stadium. on the other hand, a jumbo screen is just something nice to have, not a necessity, and definitely doesn't generate revenue...

I agree as well the Press Box will generate a buzz. But if we turn out a losing season I can imagine there will be plenty of talk about wasted money. Regardless of a screen or no screen I can see us catching flack over the press box. If we are going to spend what we dont have we should have went ahead and did it like we wanted. Oh well I guess we can all argue about money that isnt ours. Maybe one day I can up my giving stream enough to get us a screen. Oleschool im sure you have enough spare change in your couches to get us a few extra amenities around the stadium.

Why not just rent a portable video screen for major Games such as NCCU, WSSU (if we ever play them again), The G.H.O.E, and other games where the demand exceeds the capacity of Aggie Stadium...It could be placed right beside the Sound stage/Pregame Entertainment Area that we already have in the Tailgate area?
