Scoreboard improvement

Finally. They did something to improve the scoreboard. They painted the bottom part dark green. The lights now stand out and can actually be read. We didn't get a chance to see things in bright sunlight. But, wow. The improvement was amazing.

Sadly, the "player information" area for the visiting Dirtbags was simply awful. They used white and pale yellow lettering against a very light gray background. Yes, the white and yellow had a bit of a drop shadow making it stand out a bit against the background. But, please. Those of us in the stands had little hope of reading most of the info. In particular, the class ranking and home towns of the visiting players were little more than blurs at the bottom of the screen. C'mon, guys (or gals), I know you can do better than this. All it takes is a little tiny bit of forethought. If you want to use white and yellow lettering, use a dark background. If you want to use a pale gray background, though, you simply can't use pale lettering. And, for gosh sakes, just get rid of the drop shadow. Give us a break, will ya? Please???? Honestly, we would all appreciate it. Pretty please?
