I noticed cranes on the south side of the stadium all week, I didn't know what they were doing until yesterday when I saw them removing the palm trees from the side of the score board. Anyone else know what this is being done for?

Part of the scoreboard was out during/after the last game…just routine maintenance to ensure everything is working properly in preparation for Saturday.

Are the palm trees coming back?

^this was the main thing missing. Noticed it right before halftime. They hadn't been working for several games now, hope it gets fixed. It's a cool feature.

I never noticed them doing anything and I have seen all of the games.  What did they do?  Wave in the breeze, light up at scores, have twinkle lights, or what?  I did notice them missing, since I was right across the street and watched them taking them down.

I believe they were back-lit like neon…

Right, they were outlined in neon lights that slowly change color in cycles from red to blue to green, etc

They were in a peculiar/unsafe area that the manufacturer did not feel was best, and will be replaced once some welding modifications are done.

Bottom line: not going anywhere.

So I dont recall seeing anything but what happened to the Palm Tree's on the scoreboard? Why are they gone?

I knew they didnt really light up the way they were supposed to but I thought that was a great feature that even further made the stadim standapart.

Anyone know?
