New Screen at AAMI

[AC07]

Was the new screen up and running on Saturday?

If so was it any good? Comparisons?

 

[Super Goalie]

It was working yeah, should be good to have it for the first time this week seeing as I sit in the N. Stand

Yes, very good resolution and being up the northern stand, it made it easy to see play down the southern end.

Yes same. Sit in section H. Angle on the old screen is just a bit too much to be bothered looking at.

Did it look any good? Better than the old?

Looking forward to Sat night. Love the night games.

I was in the North Stand and it looked pretty good on Saturday. It looked far superior to the old screen but i was sitting at a funny angle in relation to the old screen so may not have been that much better.

 

[crowugoodthing]

I was down the northern end and yes the resolution was good but I did think it could be a little bigger.

What's the point in spending a couple of million on a big screen that is smaller than a bee's schlong?

Only saw a flash of it on the telecast, so can't comment on that.

Section J reprazent here

Not that good. Much smaller than the old one and the ones used at the MCG and Teltra Dome.

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

I can see the screen from where I work, it does look very small, I was suprised how small it was to be honest.

Yep totally agree, and where I sit for PA home games (the cheersquad )....it does help with seeing play....but I am in the habit of craning my neck round to check it out, so it will be a matter of getting used to having that new one up there....that is also where the only time clock was working as well, so one had to look at it!

I don't think it's too bad, however it tends to make things look too wide.

But the one thing that really bugs me about AAMI Stadium is the useless stats they show in the breaks. Who cares what minute a goal was kicked? Not me, I'd much rather see useful stats like inside 50s, frees, contested possessions etc they do it everywhere else why not AAMI?

 

[Smoooothy]

i really dont think it's that much smaller than the older one

was great to see a newer scoreboard underneath, they need them to replace the very much redundant ones below the other screen and the other scoreboard

was much clearer watching that one from the members than the old one too..

 

[BockPorplyziaFC]

I was sitting underneath it so couldnt really tell the size, but looked like it will be clear and bright.

Maybe it looks a little small because it doesnt have the ads on the side like the old one?

Spot on! We are not watching soccer!

Because its the SANFL thats why, there was no reason why the screens couldnt be bigger, but just that the SANFL didnt want to spend an extra money than they had to.

Agreed.

All the new stadiums around the world are going for the 'widescreen' look (see Soldier Field and University of Phoenix stadium). We had the space to do such a screen at AAMI and to be innovators in Australia, but obvious cost and reluctance to try something revolutionary (see VP racecourse debacle) were inevitable stumbling blocks.

But we did build retractable light towers....

I stand corrected.....

Screen seemed quite clear but is no way big enough. Im over AAMI anyway. Knock the place down and build a Telstra dome in the city!

Do you have Warren Buffett phone number by any chance? That is the only way it is going to happen.

saying that, I agree but it's not going to happen.
