I have seen the July Pictures but that was FOUR months ago....they can do better.

I've heard from a few who have gotten tours that they were pretty impressed by it, guess part of it depends on expectations and what every individual wanted versus what it is.

BOK - Tulsa
Ford - OKC
Sprint - KC

Those are the expectations.

FAIL.


I'm awaiting a response from Ron Holt regarding the scoreboard. I doubt I'll get a response because the people running this project just don't give out information like any normal management would.

Exactly...I just have lost my confidence from these people.

To the Scoreboard issue...it might only be as big as CKA's but (correct me if I am wrong Doc) the entire board is LED Screen. This gives it more usable space than CKA's. With CKA's you have places for fouls and a set place with the score. With IBA's I am pretty sure the Score will be on the LED Screen so you can potentially use the entire board for a Promo or Video and then switch it back to the Score. Just what I think.

I think you are correct 1. The scoreboard seemed to be in 2 parts. Both top and bottom, video screens (certainly not high def).

It just looked small to me.....like KSC small or smaller.

I really did not intend to stir things up, and I am in no way a CAVETEER, in fact I would have paid twice what we did to do it right....something just tells me we didn't have to pay twice to get better.

Seems like some have paid LESS and gotten more...

I got a response back from Ron Holt.

He says that IBA's scoreboard is comparable to that of the BOK Center's...





What do ya think, Doc?

Maybe land acquisition was easier for them?

I guess if you could say my girlfriend is comparable to Jessica Biel, MAYBE.

I may look a little more on google images to find one that looks like it.....this is basically the shape....although this is a lot bigger I think.

[ShockerFever]

What? Are you saying I was lied to by a county manager?



Wow. The status quo it looks like. That's so terribly disappointing. That's what I get for actually having expectations with this thing.

[wsushox1]

That is essentially what I expect it to be like. Similar doc?

I hastily clicked on the link expecting a picture of Jessica Biel in some provocative pose. So needless to say, Monday starts out with a disappointment.
