PHOTOS: Texas A&M builds largest video scoreboard in NCAA
While Texas A&M enters next season without marquee quarterback Johnny Manziel dominating their headlines, the Aggies will have something else to talk about - something big.
The biggest video scoreboard in college football now resides at Kyle Field after construction was completed on Tuesday.

The LED screen, which measures 47 feet high and 163 feet wide, is the only college football video board to support high-definition 1080 resolution. It is installed above the south end zone, with two auxiliary displays in the corners of the north end zone measuring 36 feet by 54 feet.
