Our existing one seems to waste a lot of space (I don't know how much that is attributable to the technology available when it was built though). I hope we get something along the lines of what auburn and texas have. A 108,000 seat stadium has gotta have a big @$$ HD jumbotron! Keep us posted on any developments/leaks on this project. btw: I don't know where you got those artist renderings but I don't really trust them considering they put screens on the side facing the river.

With such a huge stadium, a huge Jumbotron would be nice to have. Perhaps they're saving a few bucks to buy one for the north side of the stadium as well. @ Jim:

I appreciate wanting to have the best of the best, but when it comes to things like scoreboards, it seems to me that it should be proportional to the stadium (i.e. not too big). Otherwise it could look really silly. That's just my feeling, though.
