So there's this. And two days ago was my grandfather's yahrzeit. And three days ago a good friend suddenly and unexpectedly passed away. Oh, and there were two separate medical scares in front of our house towards the end of the UA 4th of July parade. (Thankfully both gentlemen seem to be OK).
Sending you good thoughts and positivity since a lot of us are battling issues. Happy 4th!!!So there's this. And two days ago was my grandfather's yahrzeit.

I'm beginning to dread this time of year.
Yep. We normally remove 'em and if the owners show up later and enquire we'll give them back; otherwise, well, hey, free chairs for next year.

Doesn't feel that long ago they updated the scoreboard. What's the typical lifetime of a scoreboard?Nationwide Arena and convention center need $170 million in upgrades, owner says
Nationwide Arena and its nearby partner, the Greater Columbus Convention Center, need more than $170 million in repairs, according to their owner.
The arena, which opened 24 years ago for $175 million, also needs a new roof and cooling towers, along with other mechanical and cosmetic upgrades totaling $60.2 million, according to an estimate from the authority.
The costliest upgrades would be improvements to the roof ($9 million); cooling towers ($7.5 million); a new scoreboard ($8.5 million); fire alarm replacement ($2.5 million); suite renovations ($1 million); club level renovations ($1.7 million); overhauling concession stands ($1.5 million); and improvements to the party tower LED displays ($675,000).
*joke here about the scoreboard at Nationwide not getting much work so it should last longer or something*
It was straight out of the 2012-13 lockout. So barely over 10 years.
Maybe the home side didn't, but the away side got a workout.
A decade of listening to chili chant and that horrible goal song will shorten anyone's and anything's life span.
Oh it got used plenty. I'm sure they replaced the light bulbs and LCD pixels on the visitor score a bunch of times.

Hopefully this means better footage for training camp
Thanks for sharing.
I believe the Cavs scoreboard is from 2014. Every time I have gone to a Monsters game in Cleveland I am amazed at the difference. The Nationwide scoreboard is pretty pathetic.

Supposedly the RMFH video board cost $9.4M in 2014 so if the CBJ think they need just $8.5M in 2024 to upgrade their video board I am skeptical its going to be cutting edge. Perhaps the tech prices have some down...fingers crossed.

Hey now, I would expect the CBJ to have a Sam's Club/Costco/BJs membership.
Seems ambitious but I wont be sad if hes right. If he adds more strength and loses some of his passiveness he'll be oser to that player. Dont feel the production of up to 70 points is very accurate
