Can’t wait to see them installed and operating.
Apparently the fan experience is now a priority for HC.
The house should be rockin.......

Indeed we do... When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are. When your heart is in your dreams your dreams come true! - Many evenings with Jimminy Cricket and the Wonderful World of Disney. Thanks, sader1970 - I HATE spellcheck/autocorrect. You do a much better and more accurate job!

Sounds like something beyond my wildest dreams! Well done, ADMB!!! Of course, a winning record in some sports has also been beyond those wild dreams.

All well and good, but the best way to, as ADMB says it, "create a dynamic in-game atmosphere for our student-athletes and fans," is to put a winning product on the field, court, and ice. If that doesn't happen, we could have a jumbotron and luxury boxes in the Hart Center and it wouldn't get additional butts in seats.

Amen to that SOV!

Agree with SOV. I guess one question is whether fancier bells and whistles at the gym and the rink will help with recruiting which would help with winning. Seems like a modest recruiting impact at best but I guess every little bit helps.

Your last is a major one when it comes to recruiting..."every little bit helps." It is often in the eyes of the beholder. A point/upgrade/change that is "minor" to some can be a "major" point to someone else.

Seems like a modest recruiting impact at best but I guess every little bit helps. Every Bell and Whistle helps recruiting! Todays players look at a lot more than the academics in a college..I can hear the coaches talking to a recruit as the recruits photo is flashed on the boards in the Hart Center! I think it was Dwayne McClain who decided on Villanova after getting an audio cassette with a "Villanova game" on it with Dwayne scoring the winning hoop to win the National Championship! His team did win the National Championship at Villanova!

This all sounds fabulous! I love what ADMB is doing. A very pro active Athletic Department, that listens and reacts positively to alum and fan request for upgrades and change. 😊

A point/upgrade/change that is "minor" to some can be a "major" point to someone else. One can envision a recruit being ushered onto the hoops court or the rink and seeing a video presentation of himself on the boards - highlights of his pre-collegiate career, pictures of him in HC attire (taken only minutes earlier), etc., etc. Certain to make more of an impression than what's been available to-date!

It will be interesting to find out more about tis: "The Crusaders will also receive a content package to accompany the installation. This content will be created and delivered by Daktronics Creative Services."

I would expect the package to have video of current players in action, video of events from the past that impacted the program, purple themed animation with appropriate audio, etc. Below is a link to Daktronics Creative Services, for Colleges, Universities and Pro Sports. I would expect that HC would receive a similar package that could be played on demand at Fitton and Hart. www.daktronics.com/en-us/services/creative-serviceswww.daktronics.com/en-us/services/creative-services/pro-sportsOne can imagine the fan reaction to the Derek Ng walk off field goal vs Yale, or the end zone fumble recovery vs New Hampshire, if video replay had been available at Fitton in 2018 and 2019.

Animation? Might our late Marvin the Martian Crusader make an appearance in there as well?

There were so many great elements to that great play and video Beating Yale, a team that has a preposterous W-L record vs HC Last second win Huge celebration by team Coach Chesney hugging his father BUT to me one of the best visuals of all in the game was coach Chesney coming out on the field, before the kick, and as calmly as could be talking with the kicker and saying (I’m imagining this because it was not recorded) “ Hey Derek, you got this “ as if he were talking about a 30 yard FG in practice

For our posters whose children attended Fairfield, of which I know two, Fairfield in it’s athletic branding has been deemphasizing the Stag cartoon logo, and have switched to a red letter “F”as their brand. From looking at their voy board, their old timers seemed upset that the deer is being phased out as the primary brand. Oh well! ...... 21st Century branding has a different look than when many were attending years ago. No more Marvin...No more Rudolph......cartoon figures as primary logos are going the way of the Edsel, Oldsmobile, Studebaker, Plymouth, etc.

any idea what the staffing and the skill sets are required to operate these boards? I believe there is at least one control room somewhere.

Don’t know but they turned me down for the Hart ice Zamboni driver position and said it goes to students. 😢

It was hard to figure out what happened. But do remember ADMB jumping for Joy. I believe he had just started at HC.
