What’s Coming
Digital Scoreboards is excited to announce their partnership with Grambling State University in Grambling, Louisiana, on the installation of new digital scoreboards and dynamic sound systems. This installation will occur just prior to the 2024/2025 season and add visual upgrades and enhancements to the university’s James “Shack” Harris & Doug Williams Field at Eddie G. Robinson Memorial Stadium and Willis Reed Court at the Fredrick C. Hobdy Assembly Center.
Project Details
Robinson Memorial Stadium will increase its overall video screen size by approximately 140 square feet by installing a new 25′x47′ high-resolution and high-brightness 10mm outdoor display. GSU will also treat fans to a brand-new stadium sound system which will provide more overall coverage and a superior range of sound.
The Hobdy Assembly Center will also get a major visual overhaul in the main arena, lobby, and concourse areas. The biggest addition will be the new center-hung structure with four large 10’x23′ high-resolution 3.9mm indoor video screens providing fans with live video and real-time statistical information.
“The transformative scoreboard and technology upgrades go beyond enhancing our athletic facilities—it reaffirms our commitment to creating a premier experience for our entire community,” said Brandon A. Logan, Vice President for University Advancement & Innovation.
“Central to this upgrade is the thoughtful repurposing of the boards inside the Hobdy Assembly Center, which will now serve to elevate the visitor experience. By strategically reallocating these resources, we are not just improving our infrastructure, but also enriching the way our story is told to everyone who steps onto our campus. This initiative symbolizes our dedication to honoring our legacy while investing in a future where every visit to Grambling State leaves a lasting impact.”
More to Look Forward To
Two additional 10’x18′ screens will be mounted on each back wall to not only enhance the game experience, but also heighten the visual exposure for non-athletic events such as concerts and graduation ceremonies.
The arena will also get all new traditional scoreboards throughout the venue. The main lobby will welcome fans with a new 7’x12′ high-resolution video screen.
“The new digital board represents a significant leap forward in our efforts to monetize and enhance the visibility of the Grambling State brand. This investment not only promises to generate revenue for our athletics program but also elevates the entire university, reinforcing our legacy and expanding our reach within the broader community,” said Dr. Trayvean D. Scott, Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics.
