UNI-Dome Video Board Upgrade

[NDSUstudent]

The construction process will get underway Mon., May 12, in the UNI-Dome and McLeod Center as new video boards are installed in both facilities.

Animated Display Systems Inc. (Fort Myers, Fla.) was awarded the bid for the construction and installation of both video boards. The cost of the project is estimated to be $1.3 million with the funding coming from the Black Hawk County Gaming Association, Learfield Sports and UNI Athletics.

“The new video boards in the UNI-Dome and McLeod Center are a significant step forward as we continue to enhance the spectator experience in our venues,” UNI Director of Athletics Troy Dannen said. “The boards will also create opportunities to generate additional revenue as we continue to reduce our reliance on general education funds. We are excited to show off the new attributes of the UNI-Dome and McLeod Center this fall.”

The new UNI-Dome video board will be hung above the south endzone and will be 26’6” high by 100’ wide. Pixel density for the UNI-Dome board is 645 pixels per square feet and the total pixel count is 1,677,312.

The board will provide video and serve as a scoreboard for UNI football games. The current scoreboards were installed in the UNI-Dome in 1986. The initial video board in the Dome was installed in 2002 with an upgraded model installed in 2008.

The existing video board in the UNI-Dome will be moved to the north endzone and repurposed as a video/scoreboard.

Got to or get to?

I heard the original bid was about 100k higher as it included (unnecessary) funds for the relocation of championship banners.

The latter. I just remembering hearing that there were problems with the turf in the Unidome about the time the FargoDome was looking at a new surface.
