CONWAY, SC – Construction is underway on Coastal Carolina’s new video board at Brooks Stadium that will triple the size of the old one.

The Daktronics video board will measure 36-feet long by 21-feet wide. Coastal Carolina athletics took out a $575,000 loan from the University that will be paid back.

“One of the things our fans spoke volumes about was the video board and the sound system,” Coastal Carolina athletic director Hunter Yurachek said. “This is going to greatly enhance our game day atmosphere at Brooks Stadium.”

While the construction is just getting underway, the construction workers has assured Yurachek that the board will be done by early next week giving his team four or five days to test the board before the football opener versus North Carolina A&T on September 1.

You maybe right.

[Aggie One]

That's why he was hired. Their gate has been horrible despite having very decent teams in recent years.

theirs might be bigger, but i still luv our scoreboard! we were one of the first hbcu's to have a video board as big as ours. now, a bunch of hbcu's have 'em. but i haven't seen a single one that looks better than ours no matter how big it is!

whoever came up with the design for our jumbotron completely "nailed it"! that bad boy with the bulldawg is downright nasty!! i luv it! i still don't think any other hbcu's jumbotron looks better than ours...

Jim Renick came up with the design. Some in athletics did not like the design. They thought that it looked too cartoonish. Renick got feed back from students who liked it.

Key words BigBoy "Renick got feed back from students who liked it".

Feed back from your student body go's a long way.

I remember him telling me he was going to put in plan a press box. Like him or not he had a vision of where he wanted to take A&T
