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. Some do, but in recent years we really managed to land a good number of recruits who had offers from Memphis (among others) but chose Troy: Melvin Tyus, Zo Bridges, Sam Letton, Jakes Andrews, Anthony Lewis, Jr., and Jamarius Henderson (transfer)... the new facility will be a game changer (and we already have a lot of current players who chose Troy over programs like UCF, Memphis, USM, Marshall etc). This building will help us to sign many talented in-state recruits who might otherwise go to P5 schools like Kentucky, Miss St, Pittsburgh, Purdue, Indiana, Iowa St, etc twitter.com/troytrojansfbtwitter.com/troytrojansfb

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. Prepare for holy hell from the rest of the Sun Belt if they don't.

It's a font issue. Raise the entire lettering and it will be fixed. It's probably not an I because the J in that font has a small bend at the bottom. This may have been discussed previously. I am sure it will be fixed.

Sun Belt will have enough trouble with our front to worry about our font.
After following his team closely for 5 years this is our best roster .Half the positions will be better than last year and our offensive backfield (QB/RB) will put MORE pressure and be harder to defend than last year.Teams stacking the box will find an improved ability to stretch defenses laterally with increased cutback quickness.
Kicking and special teams need to catch up with the OFF/DEF sides

Seriously, did anyone look at this on the blueprints or the artist renderings? Did someone actually look at it as is and okay it?

As someone wrote earlier, it's a font issue. If you zoom into the word "TROJAN" in the attached photo, you will see a very small tail on the bottom of the "J". The problem with this particular font on the new video board is related to viewing angle. The solution is as simple as raising the letters enough so the bottom of them can be seen from the ground. This is an easy enough fix, even it it means a new mounting frame must be procured. While unfortunate and annoying that this issue exists, it's not a big deal. Raise the letters, all is good.

I bet it is "right". It may not fit your taste but it matters not to me.Maybe opposing QB will be fixated on it and allow a couple of snaps a game to go by them.The hypnotic "J" will be the perfect mojo lol

You know, this is a really easy issue to resolve. Does anyone have a pic of the video board from a head-on view?

On page 9 of this thread CardinslBlackTrojan posted a stream of pictures, one of which is from straight on. It’s also shot at field level and the bottoms of all the letters are obscured because of viewing angle. Because of that, things look fine in this photo. I’m beginning to think this isn’t much of an issue. I think once we see it live and in person, we will see it’s fine.

Is it too much to wait for a finished scoreboard with an appropriate camera angle to really know asthetically what we are dealing with before any declarations of poor design?

Bring in the bulldozers and tear it down. Let’s go back to Div 2 and recruit 5’7” 150lb lineman from the promised land. (Central Florida).
