Nope, never said football is better without them, but the reason for going to game in person is so you don’t have to watch it on tv. Value to whom. I assume they put it in as an amenity. Notre Dame, as much as I hate Aggie north, got along fine without any for over 100 years.
Would you stop attending if there were no “vijea” boards? It kind of sounds like it is the most important part of the experience for you.
It's not even in the top 10, 20, maybe 30 reasons I attend games. But I do value replays of big hits, TD's, penalties, reviews, etc. anything that would be put up on any screen in any stadium across the country. There was a thread about AGCS improvements, video board was one of the topics and I voiced my opinion on the topic, but somehow it got turned into an over exaggerated issue, which you've referenced several times over a long period of time. It's not really a huge deal, just stating if we're throwing money at improvements, that would be one I'd vote for.
And to your point about ND not having one until now, From my vantage point, we really don't have one either. As I mentioned in a previous post, I sit below the upper deck in the north west corner. I can't see but a small portion of it, not enough to really see anything actually. The south east board is simply worthless from the opposite end.
If I'm voting on improvements(which I'm not), video board in south east would be a priority for me. But that's just me personally. I know some, most maybe, don't have that issue. It's all personal perspective is all I'm saying. Definitely not losing sleep over it.
