Cratter Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Seems odd to have such a nice basketball facility without a decent scoreboard. Frost Arenas (SDSU) new scoreboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxMeNow Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 SURE! We can get it on the Paradiso Plan..."don't forget your wallet! " PS - Don't forget SDSU is a big time DI program now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND....it doesn't hurt that the scoreboard was built in Brookings!! They also have a nice new scoreboard on their football field too. I was impressed this season.

roper1313 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 I believe that SDSU's athletic funraising foundation paid for the score board. I've never been in the Betty, is there room for a center scoreboard of that size. 70 miles south, if they tried to hang that in the BSA centers would hve to duck at half-court. FYI, NDSU is putting in two new video scoreboards on each end of the BSA starting for the 2006-2007 season. I also remember that Daktronics has some interesting financing options for their scoreboards. You can pledge all advertising revenue for x yrs. and get the things for a discount if not free.

UND Fan Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 If we are serious about this, I have $25! We are talking about a scoreboard for the soccer field, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratter Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 If we are serious about this, I have $25! We are talking about a scoreboard for the soccer field, right? Sorry 'UND Fan' scoreboard for the betty. I personally think this avenue (Siouxsports.com) would be a perfect place to get the funds raised. It would allow other sioux fans to know the priority of the fans and the adminstrative needs without going to a general fund. People want to know exactly where there money will be going and if not raised they want it back. I think that a center hung scoreboard at the Betty that is similar to Frost Arena should be of high priority. I hate it that SDSU waited til they were "division i" to get the scoreboard. How many good recruits could they have gotten with that scoreboard in d2 ( and won plenty of games)? I think the Sioux should make upgrades now while D2 and build from there. aka....scoreboard, lacrosse, Alerus upgrades (memoral pictures), soccer field upgrades, bubble over memorial stadium, indoor track and field practice arena & weight room, etc, then move to D1 as all of that capital and needs are already addressed.

OK - I have been in the Betty but will not see my first game there until January - live in Florida. While I do agree a center-hung scoreboard is preferred, I am afraid there are much higher priorities right now for the Athletic Department. You mentioned many of them but they first need to balance the budget - not an easy task! I think it would be great if a site like this could assist UND with some of its financial needs but I don't think we could raise the thousands of dollars needed for that type of scoreboard. That's why I thought you were talking about the soccer field - that might be doable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Why not turn the $$$ into field turf* for The Al and have soccer play in there? Scoreboards? Heck, then you'd have replay boards! * NCAA only allows soccer on natural grass or field turf. The ball never stops rolling on magic carpet.
