Cratter Posted May 22, 2019 Posted May 22, 2019 Crazy to think the arena is almost 20 years old and it opened with tube tv's in the concourse. Quote
SiouxFan100 Posted May 22, 2019 Posted May 22, 2019 What parts of the Ralph do you think could be improved on? I am surprised about the pushback on the scoreboard size. it appears most are pretty happy with the status quo now just keep the Ralph as is and return the Sioux name and it is back to the way it was. 3 Quote

Maybe I will be more impressed in person but seems it will make people forget there is an actual hockey game being played underneath it! On the plus side, all the advertising is gonna be YUGE! Quote
Cratter Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 I don't think its going to seem that big in person. It's not even as tall as the old one. 1 Quote

I want to see a view of the whole arena with it up. The close up pics will make it look bigger. The pre game stuff is gonna look great with all the new video boards and technology. 1 Quote

I'm not talking about that it will have the retired Fighting Sioux logo on it. I'm talking about that it is going to look awkward. Not to mention blocking the view of the underneath screens. Looking at the mock up pic, it already looks weird. 3 Quote

Asinine. As we noted on page one of this thread, way back in January, the part from the old scoreboard shouldn't be on the new scoreboard. However...it will be. Quote

dakotadan Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 I like how the old one fit in architecturally with the building such as the green rods with nobs and the green and brass header. As far as the size there is no such thing as too big. Quote

SiouxFan100 Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 I am excited to see the new scoreboard in person and in action! now let’s get back to fielding our normal awesome winning hockey team! Quote
TNF Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 The new scoreboard is too big, that is too many fireworks, I can’t possibly eat burnt ends in addition to other smoked meat. First world problems. Suck it up buttercups. Put on your big boy pants and polish off those burnt ends. Count me in on the you can’t have to much of a good thing. 1 Quote
