Utes just installed an impressive new Big Screen and sound system...

It wasn't BYU. It was the neighbors.

Correct. The neighbors voted against the larger screen for various reasons

Everyone is mixing up neighbors complaining about the MTC construction announcements and plans with the LES screens

Neighborhood did complain. They said the bigger boards would put too much ice on

No we are not. They complained about both. This is pretty common knowledge.

Michigan State did the same thing as BYU with 2 smaller, big video boards. No shame.

At least Michigan State put up widescreens.

And, I was also wrong, MSU has those two BYU size boards AND a massive one.
