Spartan Scoreboard Plans Released
Spartan Scoreboard Plans Released
The $10 million project proposal goes before the MSU Board of Trustees at its regular meeting Friday for approval.
The board in December authorized university officials to begin planning for the project, which at that time sported an $8 million bill.
MSU authorization plans regularly a disclaimer noting estimated costs may change during planning stages.
University officials say Spartan Stadium's current scoreboard and sound system technology are so outdated that their parts are no longer manufactured. The current scoreboard was installed in 1998.
What's more, the venue's current technology generally is not on par with that of the competition.
"These boards also lag behind other highly competitive Football Bowl Subdivision football stadiums," MSU Vice President for Finance and Operations Fred Poston said in a memo to the Board of Trustees. "Contemporary scoreboards allow additional revenue opportunities, and are becoming the norm for Big Ten football stadiums."
Poston also noted Spartan Stadium's sound system does not "adequately service the facility" and the outer skin of the south scoreboard has proven to be troublesome, regularly requiring repair.

About Us
The MSU Football Players Association (MSUFPA) is an organization that was formed in midyear 2004 and was given its birth by Head Coach John L. Smith. It wasn’t until the beginning of 2005 that the association got functioning, but when it did a strong force was created within the family of Spartans and a tradition had begun. The purpose of the Association is to perpetuate the Spartan football tradition and to enhance the success of the MSU football program. Our goal is to sustain a working relationship and to provide a network of communication to link the membership with the existing football program.
