If you were curious about the new lights…

Flashing Lights - to take the crowd’s mind off of what they’re seeing on the field.
Well played Selmon, well played.
Well played Selmon, well played.
Who is that F head with the hat, long dreads and tats on his legs walking in the stadium? J/k I know…..the face of MSU.
100% chance Rosie has that video of him walking out on repeat at his house.
Those are going to look great if we ever play a game after sundown.
They look great. Some people love to bítch more than breathe.
I would imagine the in-person experience will be better than that video.
You act like we are the first school to have these. We are the last in the SEC to install these lights.
The pre sh1tting is strong for this one…even for 6 pack standards… well done
Cannot wait to taunt Alcorn State with these new lights! NO MERCY!
We
We used Crestron when we did sound & lighting at FSU stadium. Its the best and works well. Not sure what manufacturer State uses.
Both of our first two home games are at night and we could have two others as well.
I don't understand how we have fans who don't realize these lights will be on for our first two home games. With the noon kick becoming a prime time spot, we'll likely have a few more home games at night.
I know that. Flashing lights are a known seizure trigger though. It will happen someday, to somebody.
So, sunset in Starkville is around what 7:30-8 pm right now?
First home game is at 6:30 pm and the second is at 5:00 pm. With the way the college game has been shortened, the second half of the first game might be in the dark. 4th quarter of the second game might be in the dark… maybe, plus it’s an FCS team, so there might be 20,000 people left by sunset.
So that’s 1 out of 12… maybe at most 3 if they somehow put both the Texas and Tennessee games under the lights.
And nobody really believes 11 am is a primetime slot.
Those games start in the daylight at 6:30 and 5:00. The 5:00 will end shortly after 8:00, about the time the sun goes down good.
The other two you speak of I assume are TX A&M which could also have a 5:00 start, and TX which could also have a 2:30 start
In Jxn, I walk the dogs overnight at 7:30, the sun is going down by then. The lights will be on for most of the first game and for most of the second half of the second game.
If you haven't been paying attention, Fox has turned noon into their big game, which is smart, it allows for another big game to kick three hours later and even another big game at night. Just look at the SEC schedule, more marquee teams are on at noon, including Bama/Wis. Texas/TOSU is in at noon, but a Fox game.
that 5:00 game is three weeks away, most of the second half will be with the lights on (although it won't be dark until 7:30 or so).
I get why we're doing this, and I know everyone else does too. But man, I miss the days when a football game was just a football game and not a multimedia entertainment event.
