Mania Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Can someone call Vinny Cerrato on his show and ask when they plan on upgrading to a HD jumbo tron as opposed to the current mini analog version that we currently have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostyj Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 There was an article on this. Snyder - “We’ve asked our architects to come up with something for the future because we recognized that what was installed when the stadium was built prior to my ownership was an analog system. By the way, because it is an analog system we have a hard time showing replays because we have to manually roll back the videotape, unlike today’s digital systems where you push two buttons and have a replay. Now I see these big beautiful digital systems, high-definition systems, in the newest stadiums and we surely want that for the future. We’re looking hard at making something like that happen. It’s a shame that some of the local media, who know this to be the case, try to create a negative story out of replays when they know it’s because of the existing analog system.” Snyder’s spokesman Karl Swanson has been repeating the same “It’s not us! It’s the stadium wiring!” line for years. http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/citydesk/2008/10/15/dan-snyder-the-nfls-last-analog-man-now-heads-the-leagues-digital-revolution/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalhead387 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Keep in mind that response from Snyder was from 2005 I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFKFedEx Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 The animated guy pounding his fists on Defense gets the crowd pumped up like no other!!! Ya. LOL! He reminds me of the Indian on the Lite Bright board in the movie Major League, which btw came out nearly 20 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mania Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 yes, I remember that, but again that was from 2005. It has been 3 years since this article came out. The stadium was built in a year, I'm sure the wiring could be fixed in less than 3 years or even an offseason. Not that I'm an engineer, but I believe that is a pretty good guess.

Larry Brown #43 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 As much as people dump on FedEx Field--often with good reason--I can honestly say that if they would only upgrade the Jumbotrons to nice big HD screens, I'd be perfectly happy and content with the stadium. That's the one thing about that place that just drives me up a wall. There are older, more outdated stadiums in the league that have managed to install HD screens. And we know Snyder ain't exactly poor. I just don't get what the problem is. Even if the Skins were to move back to DC at some point, you gotta figure it would be years down the line, and the new screens will get plenty of use in the meantime.

RFKFedEx Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 HEH the horn speakers were the shiznit though! They were still hanging from the edge of the roof as of last year. They've been defunct since the new sound system was installed but I hope they never bother to take them down. The voice of Phil Hochberg will foever ring in my head. "Riggins carries" "Theismann's pass complete to Monk complete for a TD" No emotion in his voice. He just gave it to you straight, good or bad.

RFKFedEx Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 lol Yes, they were from 2005, but still. It can be upgraded. No, the Light Bright board from the Redskins days was put up some time in the 70s. It was removed in the late 90s when the DCSEC put in the jumbotron after the Redskins vacated.
