This is the closest shot I have to an end-of-game scoreboard shot, since the d-bags at Pitt shut down the board about 2 nanoseconds after the final gun.

Thankfully it didn't happen often, but it was cool to see the scoreboard animation when the home team got into the red zone.

BTW, Heinz ketchup is made in Fremont.

Not gonna lie, that scoreboard is atrocious. It shouldn't be so difficult to actually find the SCORE on a scoreboard...ugh.

Hammb,

They didn't put the score up on the actual board. What you see at the bottom was it. They had a few other boards around the stadium but it sucked the way that was set up.

That's a pretty awful set up, IMO. They've got the old fashioned lights to display the clock and play clock, why not have a few more to show the score, timeouts, and down & distance? Then they can do whatever they want with the video board.

I guess I don't expect much from the yinzers though

They used up all those lights to illustrate the ketchup flowing into the video board.

At least they understand what's important

If they had a smaller video board like ours the score would have looked bigger.....

Nope, its actually just bottled in fremont. It used to be made there.

Ketchup aside. I loved the stadium and the scoreboard, and I will always have fond memories of it. I especially enjoyed watching Pitt fans make for the exits during the 4th quarter. As for the size and visibility of the score in the stadium,..everybody knew what the score was.

I have this one:

Why doesn't the picture show up?

Always use preview to make sure you got the code right. One little character than mess it all up.

Take the ?v=0 out of the end of the image URL and it should work.

I also got one like that, i'll post it later if i have the chance
