RE: New LED Lighting at Alabama Looks Terrible

I can't imagine why the system at Bama would be so far off. Did it appear off on all the views? I'm wondering if it was something the broadcaster did or didn't do??
It's not about politics. It's about saving 75% on your energy bill. The maintenance savings is enormous for systems like this. It isn't easy or cheap to change bulbs at stadiums. Plus, some companies will put the system in at zero cost. You pay for it based on a percentage of energy savings.
They're also more functional. If you need to shut them off or for some reason lose power then it doesn't take forever to bring them back up. Thus the ability to create a light show.
I wasn't in the stadium, but I liked it. Especially the footage I saw of the band taking the field with one of the light sequences. I thought the whole thing was pretty cool.
