The screen that will be handling the replays during Saturday’s game will only give fans a preview of what they can expect. That is because the screen is only a loaner from Dattronics while the main one UM purchased is moved from New York City to Missoula.
“The only difference in the screen will be the size,” UM Athletic Director Wayne Hogan said. “It is a little bit smaller than the one that will be permanently installed, but it has all the video capabilities.”
Hogan had hoped to have the permanent replay screen installed by the first home game, but delays in bringing the screen to Missoula stalled the process. Officials had trouble obtaining permits to remove the screen, which was hanging in Central Park in New York City.
All the people walking below made it difficult to bring in machinery to take the screen down, Hogan said.
Griz fans will probably have to wait until Homecoming for the main screen to finally be installed.
“In a perfect world, it could be installed and ready to go by the second game,” Hogan said. “More than likely though, it won’t be ready until the third game. But it will be up by then.”
