IU To Put Advertising Signage On Scoreboard In Assembly Hall

Indiana Univ. (IU) will install a $1.99M scoreboard/video board in Assembly Hall “with advertising signage” before the ’05-06 season, according to Terry Hutchens of the INDIANAPOLIS STAR. IU AD Rick Greenspan said that ad revenue on the board next season “should exceed $250,000.” Hutchens reports advertising “will be visible on all of the primary scoreboards, as well as electronically on panels beneath the scorer’s table. The main scoreboard that hangs over the court will also have space for a primary advertiser and secondary advertisers.” A primary advertiser has not been chosen, but IU Sports Properties officials “are seeking a five-year contract” (INDIANAPOLIS STAR, 7/6).
