Fond memory of Media Services:
Helping to pioneer remote video productions for the video scoreboards at Huskie Stadium and Convo. The first ever "video scoreboard production" experiment was done in the late 1990s at Chick Evans Field House with three cameras and a student crew. What followed was a video scoreboard production that measures up to any in the nation.
