Most of the content on video boards is run with cloud software now, through 4G. So you can change the messaging on your iPhone, from anywhere in the world.If I was still on campus, I know what I would be thinking: how can I post a message on the giant score board when it’s completed? It looks like the control room is on the 3rd level. Given the chance, what would you post?

Since his headstone was just completed, I’ll vote for “Tyler Trent” as the first message. For anyone who didn’t see, here’s the headstone.
They should show movies on it in the meantime.The scoreboard appears to have all the panels up. It is my understanding that gold colored letters will say "PURDUE" across the top of the scoreboard as well. It looks great! Thank you to all the donors that made this possible.
You can see the "E" close to the bottom right of the new board.
Couple notes about the board:
- first HDR video board in college football
- 4th largest video board in college football
- 150-feet, 4-inches wide and 56-feet, 9-inches high
- A backlit PURDUE wordmark will face north, while a backlit P logo will adorn the back of the board.
The video ribbon board installed last year was 375-foot wide by 10-foot high.
Here's also the link to the webcam.

I checked the webcam link to get a look at the latest snapshot. Based on that image all panels appear to be installed. There are no construction containers in the project area and the area directly below the board is clear of construction materials. It looks like it is a finished project.
You saw the same thing i saw. On one of the stills, you can see a light inside the upper left portion, so there may still be some finishing work going on internally for any of the rooms(?) they may have. I'd love to see a shot/view from those top windows.

As early as next weekend, students may be able to watch movies from the south end zone bleachers of Ross-Ade Stadium.
This possibility was announced earlier this summer, when Purdue spokesperson Tim Doty said University officials were discussing the possibility of using the stadium's new video board to host movie nights for students.
