That’s because the Indiana Stadium and Convention Building Authority on Monday unanimously approved an $11.4 million deal for two ginormous high-definition scoreboards at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Consisting of three screens each, the 97-foot-wide-by-nearly-53-foot-high scoreboards will hang in the northwest and southeast corners of the building.
Each will feature a single 97-foot-wide-by-37-foot-high screen, five times larger than the scoreboard in the RCA Dome, authority Chairman David Frick said. The two other screens, positioned on top of the main screen, will measure 24 feet wide by nearly 16 feet high. They will be separated by the stadium nameplate and advertisements.
In the NFL, only the Pittsburgh Steelers can claim a similar system, said Bo Ivers, sales manager for Daktronics, which won the bid.
While big, they won’t be the biggest scoreboards. That distinction goes to the board at the University of Texas in Austin, which measures approximately 150 feet wide by 50 feet high, Ivers said.
