After a lot of chatter since the beginning of the summer — and, of course, when people were seen disassembling scoreboards … always a giveaway — WVU finally made its official announcement Wednesday that Panasonic will be installing video scoreboards at Mountaineer Field and the Coliseum.

I sent my photographer out yesterday afternoon to snap some shots of the construction — let’s hope Morgantown doesn’t very much rain between and the football opener. One would assume the basketball project has more time to be completed, but individual workouts begin when the players return to school and not only is the floor unfinished — ie., no markings, which matters this year because the 3-point line has been moved back — but there are no baskets, either.

Not saying it won’t get done. I’ve been assured everything will be finished in time, but it’s something to follow. Good thing we’re paying this photographer so much. Pictures after the jump.
