They are putting large black letters on top of the score board today. They are at TRO right now. I will try and snap a picture later. It looks good! Looking forward to seeing it

Word is this was missed in planning and design and the cheapest and least disruptive option was to carve out the big screen. Yea, agree looks like crap. Appears to be a distraction, but no real concern, to most on this message board but of little consequence to the other(s) who go thru life with a piece missing. According to the original renderings when they first came out with the plans, the notch in the video board was intentional. I don't believe it is a design error.

I could care less, just looks bad, won’t stop me from cheering on the TMTDM to victory. Wait a second, opinions being shared on a message board, who would have thunk it ?

Not the original but hey maybe it works out like Hemi said. Just prefer the full screen. With basketball prematurely ending and waiting in spring ball got to talk about something. Damn the big screens...

Thanks for sharing. Looks great. I think the new building will really help recruiting some top talent to Troy, seperate us from some other schools for now (UAB, USA, MTSU) and significantly close the gap to schools like USM. However, it's only a matter of time until other schools will build similar facilities, so we have to stay ahead and already think about adding new facilities in the coming years... (IPF should be next, and some other upgrades)

Btw, on youtube you can watch facility tours of other programs. I watched Boise St, UCF, Memphis, Southern Miss, UAB, and S Alabama to learn how their facilities compare to our new complex. I liked how players or even former players (now in the NFL) host the tours. Maybe we should ask Demarcus Ware to host a tour, so we can film it and put it on youtube.
Boise State's is comparable to ours (70,000sq ft and it cost them 22M, it was built in 2013). Their treatment/training area is very spacious and they also have very nice lobby areas. Judging from our renderings, our nutrition area and player lounges are as nice as theirs, locker rooms are equal, very similar.
UAB also has nice facilities actually, even South Alabama is not too bad but ours will be definitely nicer in all areas. Southern Miss locker room looks almost exactly as ours (I think we both copied designs from Oklahoma State). UCF is quite big but not as modern and nice as I would have expected. Memphis: Nice locker rooms, similar to UCF but a bit nicer; Memphis has a very nice player lounge. No wonder these schools managed to steal recruits all the time from us (despite USA and UAB not being that successful, and I would rate our coaches higher, too).

The nicest part of South Alabama's is that on campus and covered practice facility it's connected to...... oh wait

UCF has a bigger stadium but it's kind of cold and blah (aluminum look like FAU and FIU) what they have that we don't is a indoor facility and player housing right next to the football facility. As far as Memphis...I don't know why anyone would go there. City is a crime ridden dump. We had a player from here that signed with them a few years ago. He got mugged on campus (ok, he was a tiny kicker but still). He transferred out. My son just had a really good job offer in Memphis he turned down. Crime rate and housing were the big factors.

I think someone else mentioned this, but we gotta get a Sharpie or something and fix that "J" in "TROJANS" on the top of the scoreboard

Yeah. Zooming in it looks like they just misspelled it. I’ve never seen any font with a “J” like that.
When they use the full screen that notch really sticks out.
Also, 56:01 to go in the 1st qtr! Hope you brought a sleeping bag or snuck in a lot of coffee.

Surf Report: The Surf is flat on Pensacola Beach and the air is cool. The wind is blowing from the North Northeast at 10-15 mph. The water temperature is around 68F. Our next chance for Surf is this weekend.

Our next chance for Surf is this weekend. It doesn’t look too difficultl to fix, but I’m not a contractor. It's just a matter of removing the "I" and replacing it with a "J". If fixing it requires the manufacturing of a "J", it may not be ready by T-Day, but there is NO reason...ZERO, NADA, NONE...that it can't be corrected before Boise comes a calling'.

Maybe the contractor just wanted to be historically accurate since Troy translates to Troia in Ancient Greek and Latin... Wikipedia Troy (Ancient Greek: Τροία, Troia or Τροίας, Troias and Ἴλιον, Ilion or Ἴλιος, Ilios; Latin: Troia and Ilium;[note 1]

I’m not sure why it needed lettering in the first place. You don’t need letters atop a video board to tell you where you’re at. Plus, I don’t think they will be replacing the J. Hopefully they will though.
