Lights on for Championships

Or - Lights turned ON after every winning game.

Let the letters burn again!

Yes!

I used to love to fly into Easterwood at night. You could read those lights from the plane. Awesome.

could it be that hard? light it up!

could it be that hard? light it up!

Hell yeah

uh, maybe we'd better use our money to fix our Kyle Field electrical infrastructure first since a pizza oven blew the breakers last season before one of our early season games.

Yes

The thread linked to in one of the earlier posts was started by me. I actually worked for several weeks with Byrne and Mike McKenzie to try and make this happen. It died on the vine.

Now, granted, having McKenzie involved does put a particular slant to the whole issue, but he copied me on his conversations with Byrne, so I know he did have the discussions.

I also talked to Byrne at a baseball game last year and he acknowledged that McKenzie was talking to him about it.

In short, Byrne said the issues were wiring (the cost to upgrade), birds nesting in the letters, and the fact that they didn't want to spend a lot of money on the sign until the west side renovations are done. He indicated maybe something could be done during that project.

I got the feeling he wasn't particularly fired up either way, but the money was the primary issue.

FWIW, I'd LOVE to see it lit again . . .for all the reasons in my earlier thread.

Thanks for that insight, agfan02.
