They’re bringing Adzillatrons to high school football, not just college. A few stragglers haven’t yet gotten with the program.
[H]ere’s what high school football is not:
A $200,000 Jumbotron scoreboard, one with booming sound and full of advertisements, like the one they are proposing for Manatee High this season.
… [M]aybe people don’t want to be screamed at all the time. Maybe people don’t want to be sold something everywhere they go.
A teeny $200,000 Adzillatron! That’s mere practice for the $13 million Adzillatron you’ll get in college. You think a $200,000 screen is screaming at you? Hahahahaha.

That won’t buy much. Gilligan got an admini-Adzillatron a couple of years ago outside the administration building. It can’t be much more than 50″ diagonal. The budget for the screen, the tasteful stone enclosure, the wiring, etc. was supposedly $60K. After numerous breakdowns, repairs, and equipment replacements, someone in the know says the actual cost is well north of $100K now.
