[Husker] new stadium layout

[Steve Reichenbach]

GOOD:
The HD is great on the big screen.

BAD:
They took out the old screens in the NE and NW corners, which,
from my seat at the north end of the East Stadium (Section 2),
I miss.  Now, I have to turn to see the replays.  It would be
worse for those in the North Stadium.  I hope they will put
screens back in these corners.  Probably one day their will be
advertising screens all the way around the stadium.

GOOD:
The newly installed screens at the SE and SW corners are HD,
which provide great viewing (although I'm not so close to them).

BAD:
They changed the field level scoreboard and it doesn't have
yardage stats any more.  There are stats on the big screen.

BAD:
The speakers are so loud in the East Stadium that I could not
communicate with a person next to us.  This was not during
cheering.  That's how loud just the speakers are.

BAD:
The camera operator seems enamored of HD, showing closeups of
the QB at the snap, the ball in the air, the receiver, etc.,
but not showing the larger picture of the line, the coverage,
etc.

IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED:
1) Turn down the speakers.
2) Show more of the field on the replays.
3) Long-term --- add screens on the NE and NW corners.
