jkx2 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) I've been searching for a photo of the original scoreboard at Rich stadium. For those who never saw it, it was billed as the very first replay scoreboard ever. Bringing that watching live and at home experience together. What it was though was a giant sepia tone lite brite consisting of a series of giant light bulbs. While the Bills bragged about it, it was more like going to the the county fair when you were a kid to see the elephant man and when you saw him it was just a guy with a really big nose. By the last game I saw in 1980 before I left Buffalo, the company had long gone out of business and replacement bulbs weren't available. I remember looking up for a replay to see a handless catch or a headless player running down the field because there were so many burned out light bulbs. Somehow it made the whole Buffalo Bills, Rich stadium experience even better. Anybody have a photo of the giant edger sketch that once was the glory of Rich stadium?

Man with No Name Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 haha. pretty disingenuous to refer to that as a replay. the pre-color light bright must have been a sight to behold. really enjoyed that video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they get introduced as "your 1989 Buffalo Jills" but there is clearly snow on the ground? Did the team just wait until mid to late in the season to introduce them or did it actually snow in Sept? 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElMarko Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 My favorite graphic on that score board was the one they flashed - every time - the Bills got a first down. It was a ref’s arm and hand pointing... but the hand had 6 fingers! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
