I don't think anyone kicks it 90 feet vertical

70 maybe

Probably overkill...but

"The parabolic path of a football can be described by these two equations:

y = Vyt - 0.5gt2
x =Vxt
y is the height at any time (t)
Vy is the vertical component of the football's initial velocity
g is acceleration due to Earth's gravity, 9.8 m/s2
x is the horizontal distance of the ball at any time (t)
Vx is the horizontal component of the football's initial velocity

To calculate the hang-time (ttotal), peak height (ymax), and maximum range (xmax) of a punt, you must know the initial velocity (V) of the ball off the kicker's foot, and the angle (theta) of the kick.

The velocity must be broken into horizontal (Vx) and vertical (Vy) components according to the following formulas:
Vx = V cos(theta)
Vy = V sin(theta)

The hang-time (ttotal) must be determined by one of these two formulas:
Ttotal = (2Vy/g)
Ttotal = (0.204Vy)

Once you know the hang-time, you can calculate maximum range (xmax):

xmax = Vx ttotal

You can calculate the time (t1/2) at which the ball is at its peak height:
t1/2 = 0.5 ttotal

And you can calculate the peak height (ymax), using one of these two formulas:
ymax = vy(t1/2) - 1/2g(t1/2)2
ymax = vy(t1/2) - 0.49(t1/2)2

For example, a kick with a velocity of 90 ft/s (27.4 m/s) at an angle of 30 degrees will have the following values:
Vertical and horizontal components of velocity:
Vx = V cos(theta) = (27.4 m/s) cos (30 degrees) = (27.4 m/s) (0.0.87) = 23.7 m/s
Vy = V sin(theta) = (27.4 m/s) sin (30 degrees) = (27.4 m/s) (0.5) = 13.7 m/s

Hang-time:
Ttotal = (0.204Vy) = {0.204 (13.7m/s)} = 2.80 s.

Maximum range:
xmax = Vx ttotal = (23.7 m/s)(2.80 s) = 66.4 m
1 m = 1.09 yd
xmax = 72 yd

Time at peak height:
T1/2 = 0.5 ttotal = (0.5)(2.80 s) = 1.40 s

Peak height:
Ymax = Vy(t1/2) - 0.49(t1/2)2 = [{(13.7 m/s)(1.40 s)} - {0.49(1.40 s)2}] = 18.2 m
1 m = 3.28 ft
Ymax = 59.7 ft "


i think 90ft is a safe bet.

I posted this in the other thread but I'll repost it here.

I really hope they give it some sort of flourish with a local touch, like how the Bobcats did with the Charlotte skyline around the top of theirs.

Maybe a 35' x 25' foot mural of Dirk's face plastered on the top

i dont buy that a punt won't go the height of 90 feet, but oh well

maybe a charlie ward punt

5/28/2009 4:18:40 PM

Sitting on top of BoA watching Sauerbrun boom them back a few years ago

I wouldn't doubt some of those went over 100 feet in the air

If I was a punter I was look at hitting the scoreboard as a challenge

Like hitting the retrieval cart on the driving range

5/28/2009 4:21:33 PM

exactly, which is what concerns me about a scoreboard hanging less than the length of a bball court from the field

Quote :

"The Carolina Hurricanes are already looking ahead to next season, and fans at the RBC Center will have something new to look up to: a state-of-the-art scoreboard. In the May issue of The Wolfpacker, a publication that covers NC State sports, vice president and general manager of the RBC Center Dave Olsen confirmed that the arena would be installing a new scoreboard. The new board will be four-sided — as compared to the current eight-sided one — and "everything is HD and LED," Olsen told The Wolfpacker. Based on what was said at today's end-of-season press conferences, Bubba is reporting the new board installation will begin on June 1 and be completed June 18. The scoreboard will be close in size to the current one — so it can fit in the current support structure — but the panels will be about six feet wider than the current one. The Wolfpacker reported that the scoreboard cost $1.9 million and required another $2.3 million in expenses for equipment to operate it. It will also be used for NC State basketball games."

Where did the quote that it would have the 8 boards on top with the 2 ribbon boards come from?

yes...i've seen the schematics. it will look like the sprint center's videoboard minus the top ring and i think without corner boards between the four large screens.

5/28/2009 11:59:25 PM

not only is Dallas' video screen absurd, but so is the size of that new stadium. Do they really expect to sell that shit out every game?

The Redskins averaged 88K at their games last year. The Cowboys stadium hold 80K normally and can expand to 100K for games like the Super Bowl in 2011. Shouldn't be a problem.

5/29/2009 12:03:02 PM

Well according to the blog they are starting today.



I don't know if they'll do anything you can see today such as taking the old one down, but you can watch it here.

6/1/2009 7:39:19 AM

The blog says "It's here" and links to the webcam, so those crates must be the new videoboard.

6/1/2009 10:43:04 AM

i wish they would let people go watch them install it like a crowd lol

6/1/2009 10:49:30 AM

I hope it falls and shatters like the scoreboard did at the old Charlotte Coliseum back 20 years ago

I don't really hope that but it would be cool to see

6/1/2009 11:45:34 AM

i wouldnt mind if the one they are taking out falls, what do they do with obsolete scoreboards anyway? salvage/scrap sale?

they take out the "tens digits" and give it to UNC football

6/1/2009 12:13:04 PM

new blog was just posted with a picture of all the crates and that the jumbotron will be brought down for the last time tomorrow morning

6/1/2009 1:29:45 PM

they should put the old one in reynolds

6/1/2009 1:58:38 PM

They should put Reynolds inside the RBC Center.

6/1/2009 2:03:50 PM

... woah. i'd never thought of that.

let's make this happen. if i'm going to watch basketball in a hockey arena, i want to watch basketball in a basketball arena in a hockey arena.

They are going to have to replace the logo as the name of RBC Centura just recently changed to RBC Bank, so HOPEFULLY they will eliminate the 'blue box' and just use blue letters or something.

"how long is the naming agreement for RBC?"

I think someone said 2022. If that's right, WOW!

A ~20 year naming agreement doesn't seem that absurd.

6/1/2009 3:41:00 PM

^ True, but RBC Centura has been a sponsor for SEVERAL years already. I think they were sponsors way before I was a freshman at State (2003/2004). I can't remember. Either way, it's a good lil' bit.

I think it changed over from ESA in 2002.

Yeah, ~20 years, like I said.

Instead of wondering what it will look like, why cant someone just google MSG's old one, or ask a Ranger's fan?

6/1/2009 7:01:34 PM

I thought I heard that the HD video displays will almost touch and there won't be too much space in the corners between them. That one has an awful lot of space between the screens. I like how the Bobcats Arena's scoreboard has a very small amount of space between the boards.
