Univ. Of Oregon Plans For Massive Video Board At Autzen Stadium

The $12M project is expected to be completed in August, in time for the '20 football seasonuniv. of oregon

The Univ. of Oregon is "planning to build the biggest video board in college football and a new sound system at Autzen Stadium," according to James Crepea of the Portland OREGONIAN. UO has plans for a "new 186′ x 66′ video board and point-source sound system above the East end zone terrace at Autzen Stadium." The $12M project, which will be "funded by private gifts, was voted on by the Finance and Facilities Committee of UO’s board of trustees Monday afternoon and is slated to be completed in August, in time" for the '20 football season. The project "calls for the removal of the existing sound system," which was installed in '02 and has "long drawn the ire of Oregon fans, as well as the small video board in the Northeast corner of the stadium." The existing video board in the West end zone, last upgraded in '08, "would remain operational as well" (Portland OREGONIAN, 3/12).
