We need to get this crap fixed. It's a problem.
I'm looking for a link to when we last upgraded, will edit if I find it. I know it's been awhile.
Edit, it was 2010: KU press release . I would have used Daktronics press release as I did for KState's, but the releases are so old I think Daktronics took them off of their site; the URLs that come up on a google search take you nowhere.
"Installation of a first-of-its-kind light-emitting-diode (LED) video display from Daktronics, Inc., has begun at the stadium and should be ready for use at Kansas Athletics’ two upcoming events – the Kansas Relays (April 14-17) and the KU Spring Football Game (April 24)."
The new board will measure approximately 28 feet high by 85 feet wide. The technology and its control system will allow for complete flexibility in programming, operating as single giant display or divided into multiple zones (windows) to show a wide variety of statistics, information, graphics, animation, and live and recorded video.
Why do we consistently ignore this stuff while others continually upgrade the fan experience?
Meanwhile, at K-State:
2016: Kansas State Football Facilities to Receive New Video Display from Daktronics
"K-State Athletics is happy to partner with Daktronics on new Carl and Mary Ice Family Video northeast video board at Bill Snyder Family Stadium," said John Currie, athletics director for Kansas State University. "We can't wait for our fans to see this newest enhancement to The Best Fan Experience in the Big 12 when we open the 2016 season in front of our 28th consecutive sellout crowd."
The new video display will measure approximately 38 feet high by 67 feet wide and be placed at the northeast corner of the stadium. There will also be two ribbon displays installed in the field-level team entrances to help enhance the fan entertainment. All new displays will feature a 13HD pixel layout for excellent image quality and contrast with wide angle visibility to appeal to every seat in the stadium.
The display features variable content zoning which allows it to show one large image across the entire display or to show multiple zones. In those multiple zones, it can show any combination of live video, instant replays, scoring and statistic information, animations, and sponsor advertisements."

2020: Kansas State University Upgrades Audio and Video Displays with Daktronics
"Bill Snyder Stadium is set to receive two end zone displays and a ribbon display in the south end zone, a marquee display outside the stadium, two wall-mounted displays in club spaces, and a custom audio system. The two main video displays will each measure 38.5 feet high by 68.5 feet wide and the ribbon display will measure 2.5 feet high by 220 feet long. These three displays will feature 13HD pixel layouts to bring excellent image clarity and contrast to every seat in the stadium."
