The San Antonio City Council has approved a $2.3 million budget to replace the 6-year-old Alamodome scoreboard. The new centerhung system features a new LED video scoreboard and display control system made by Novastar, set to be delivered and installed by OES-USA, Inc.
Upgrades and Features
All upgrades are expected to be finished by September 4, ahead of big events coming to the Alamodome later this year, including the NCAA Division I Women’s Volleyball Championship in December and the UTSA football season. Funding for the centerhung systems will come from the Alamodome Improvement and Contingency Fund, pending approval.
The stadium setup will have a larger scoreboard, approximately 18 feet by 39 feet, whereas the arena setup will use a smaller scoreboard, measuring about 15 feet by 33 feet. Other features of the new centerhung system include 12 new moving lights, a processor and video cards that will work in conjunction with Ross Xpression products to support 3D graphics and playback video clips, and an underbelly LED scoreboard, which is compatible with the new arena LED scoreboard.
