Michigan Stadium scoreboard upgrades underway (pics)

The new scoreboards are part of a $41 million project that will improve numerous aspects of the fan experience at the Big House and other athletics facilities

  • $8 million will fund “production room upgrades” inside the Crisler Center. Those facilities serve multiple different athletic venues, including the Crisler Center itself, Michigan Stadium, Yost Ice Arena, field hockey, soccer, indoor track, baseball and softball. The production room is also where Michigan produces content for the Big Ten Network and its digital platforms.
  • $12 million will fund a replacement of the Michigan Stadium video boards in the north and south end zones. “We will be going larger,” Rademacher said. 
  • An additional $4 million will fund “permanent safety additions for access” to the new video boards. 
  • $5 million will be used to replace the audio system at Michigan Stadium. This includes the audio installations in the seating bowl and around the concourse. 
  • The estimated cost of site work and design fees is $12 million.

Here's a thought. How about that $12M for scoreboards and $5M fro audio, plus most of that $12M site work/design fee goes to reducing ticket prices?

Like, does anyone leave the stadium thinking "I wish the scoreboard was bigger and the DJ was louder"?????
