STILLWATER — Pistol Pete fired up his jumbo remote, aimed it at the east end zone and pounced on his crimson-colored power button. At the speed of frequency, Boone Pickens Stadium was beaming with as much as excitement as it was with light as OSU’s new 110-foot video board lit up the field, the crowd and the greater part of the Stillwater sky.
As surprises go, the new addition — revealed for the first time to the masses in OSU’s season-opener on Thursday — was an expected one. Test videos of it being put to use before Thursday had made their rounds across social media, taking people aback both with size and clarity.
