Back-to-back PL champs 2016 and 2017.... but need to get back to relevance in the national FCS scene.

This week's game notes referenced a new video board that's coming at the end of September?!?!

Haven't seen any mention of this previously. Very strange to me that there is no communication on the new suites, press box, and now a video board. It seems like every other school publishes stories and updates on these types of renovations - pat yourself on the back and thank the donors. Don't understand the benefit in keeping this kind of thing a secret.

Maybe it's going to be a 'big surprise' for Founder's Weekend--October 26 v. Georgetown?

From the Game Notes

"A NEW LOOK AT GOODMAN STADIUM

Game day at Goodman Stadium will have a slightly different look
in 2019 following several offseason renovations. Suites have been
added to the west side of the stadium to go along with a renovated
skybox. The press box and game operations have been relocated to
the east side, with both sides now serviced by an elevator. Lehigh
will still occupy the west sideline. In addition, a new (videoboard)
will be installed in late September with Lehigh utilizing a mobile
display board for its fi rst two home games. The stadium’s sound
system has also been upgraded."

I do wonder about putting it under the current scoreboard :?: .Assuming a decent sized board, the botyom will be only a few feet above ground level.
Well ii is an upgrade. Hope it works. Sound system a needed upgrade.

I hope they have designed adequate protection from XPs and FGs. I was thinking they might install it on the hill above the eastern side of the north endzone and angled toward the southwest. Few people sit on west side, except for L-L game, but with the right angle most could still turn their heads to see.

I notced at the scrimmage two weeks ago that one of the 'banners' on the wall of the Goodman Field House had been removed (the NCAA Championship banner, I think). Perhaps that was part of the initial prep for installation.

The mobile board is a sensible idea if it works well. It's size can be modified so that it could also be used in Grace Hall for wrestling in a smaller applicaton and other sites on campus.
