Football scoreboard soon to be released

Southern University in its centennial year has experienced immense changes in its facing of the university. Those who sponsor and donate are included in the vast and rich history at the Historically Black College and University.
The groundwork has been finished and now the scoreboard that has been pre-meditated since August is being demolished and reconfigured into HD display for the Jaguar Nation in the coming week with consideration from the Southern University foundation.
The Southern University System is the only HBCU system residing in the country.
The fans will be able to perceive the scores during the home games at A.W. Mumford Stadium. Daktronics of Brookings, South Dakota has partnered with Southern to do the installation with the sponsorship of Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola is the proud sponsor of Southern University athletics and was mentioned at homecoming before the demolition was cleared to begin.
“We’re thrilled with the partnership opportunity with Daktronics and the SU System Foundation for allowing us to continue to enhance the fan experience for Jaguar football,” said Athletic Director Dr. William Broussard.
The display features a 15HD pixel layout to provide pristine image clarity and contrast for live videos and replays. The display measures 18 feet high by 48 feet wide and aside from showing full video can also be sectioned into different windows to look upon animations, sponsor messages, and other game information.
“We greatly value our partnership with the Baton Rouge Coca-Cola bottling company, our title sponsor for the new scoreboard opportunity that will allow our fans and athletic program to benefit from the latest technology in the industry,” said Alfred E. Harrell III, executive director of the Southern University System Foundation and provided by sus.org.
Daktronics assists their customers by impactacting their audiences throughout the world with large format-LED video displays, message displays, scoreboards, digital billboards, and control systems in sports business, and transportation applications. Founded in 1968, a USA based manufacturing company has grown into the world leader in audio visual systems and implementation with offices around the globe.
This season will allow an abrupt and positive change for the program thus far and will allow football, soccer, and track and field fans to be able to view their student athletes in perfect form as they combat through their consecutive seasons and try to contend in the battle of the greatest at the Southwestern Athletic Championship bout.
