As part of the 2007 Bond Construction Campaign, Irving Schools Stadium has received a new, state of the art scoreboard.
The scoreboard, purchased from South Dakota-based Daktronics for $560,000, will feature a 14-foot high by 22-foot long digital video panel. In addition to smaller panels displaying the school district and high school logos, four panels, measuring seven feet long on each side, will also be mounted. District athletic officials plan to sell advertisements on the four 7’x7’ panels in order to recoup the cost of the scoreboard, eventually using the revenue to fund other district projects. Similar scoreboards have been erected locally at Birdville ISD, Dallas ISD, and Mesquite ISD.
Funding for the Irving Schools Stadium project was authorized by Irving voters in December 2007. In addition to the new scoreboard, construction projects include eastside concession and restrooms, the demolition of the existing field house and reconstruction of a new field house facility, all at a total cost of $5,489,877.
