The latest adornment to Jordan-Hare appears to be a giant LED backlit vinyl sign of the Auburn University logo. The sign is being installed on the east side of the stadium above the new Heisman statues.
UPDATE: Here’s how the sign looks on the stadium.
UPDATE: Two new photos. It’s huge.
It’s latest in a steady wave of stadium improvements stretching back to 2011. An illuminated “Jordan-Hare Stadium” sign was installed last October.

Like the illuminated sign. Can’t tell what this will look like. Can we start some sort of petition or letter writing campaign to get those awful blue and light blue tiger stripes down? Maybe pressure washing the cement would help too.
Ugh.. not liking this at all. I’m worried it’s going to be way too big, particularly for a lighted sign. For a campus with such rigid rules for building appearance (red brick and pitched roofs) this is going to be dramatically out of scale and out of character. Most of what has been done with the stadium has been appropriately tasteful, but this is going to break that trend.
I bet it looks even more AUsomer than the AU does in the second photo here: http://www.auburntigers.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/092310aaa.html
I guess I’m parking in the stadium deck tomorrow to find out!
For those worried about the large size, I believe you’ll end up being surprised at how much it shrinks in appearance once installed on the immense facade of Jordan-Hare Stadium. War Eagle!!!
