Student
Runs SF's New Scoreboard
One of the most talked-about
features of the new stadium is the Jumbotron-style video screen
on the new scoreboard. It was given to the school by Daktronics,
a company that has supplied scoreboards to the University of
Oklahoma, PNC Park, and Heinz Field. In exchange for the free
scoreboard, Daktronics sells ad space as both videos play during
the game and panels run across the structure housing the board.
On this night, the
job of running the scoreboard video falls to Phil Henry, one of
four South Fayette students specially trained in operating the
board (the others are Matt Shuck, Noah Sahady, and Nick
Showman). “I’ve always been interested in media, so I jumped
at the chance to do this when the opportunity was there,”
Henry says.
Hunched over a
computer screen in the press box, he keeps tabs on the game,
waiting for the right moment to change graphics as the game
progresses. Along with running the video, the students also
create the graphics. It’s a time-consuming process, but they’ve
already created images of the Lions’ skill
position players. Look for more as the season continues. |
