What is the criteria used?

I figure scoreboards are pretty much all the same anymore.

For athletic departments, the answer is a resounding yes, or they wouldn't bother. A massive big screen also looks pretty nice on all those recruiting visits.

They might be obnoxiously big and a little unnecessary, but we love them all the same. Here are the 10 biggest and most entertaining scoreboards in college football:

I figure there are only so many companies that make scoreboards, and athletic departments looking to upgrade go with the latest. greatest, and biggest. Therefore the newest would be the best, no?

Love the Miss State one...the design is very cool. A lot of the rest of them just look like giant billboards with the steel poles holding them up.

That one stood out to me the most as well. Cool stuff

It's kind of hard to see by the picture, but Arkansas' is part of the practice field. I wish I had just done youtube videos instead of the pictures, we would have given a better understanding of what the scoreboard is like.

Yeah, I'm sure they are all much better to see live. But from a design standpoint, I love the MSU, Ohio State, and Carolina ones best. Will look for a close-up of the Razorback one...

Couldn't find a good one on Kyle Field (TAMU)





Could not find a good video of the scoreboard at Sun Life Stadium (which is weird bc they share with the Dolphins)

I like USC's scoreboard before the game and at halftime. During the game, I find it distracting.

I agree Miss St.'s has character. The rest look like regular jumbotrons mounted on posts which just about any school has.

A jumbotron, is a jumbotron, is a jumbotron, no?

A planned $370 million renovation of Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium will make the video board 8,750-square feet, up from 5,146-square feet.

Is that right? That would make it the biggest in CFB by quite a bit.

It's huge already. Takes up nearly an entire side of the stadium.

 

[OregonDucks]

They all saw this in HD.
