Roos Field Renovation

Great news, I drove by Roos Field yesterday and it looks like the old scoreboard is in the process of being dismantled. Great memories but needless to say, it's about time.

"LOOKS LIKE" Or definitely ?
 
I just saw a tweet which mentioned that they started tearing down the old scoreboard on Tuesday morning. It's being sent to a HS in Chewelah. Don't know when the new one's going in.

Maybe we can get a Cheney-ite to post a pic?

Hopefully before the Montana game. Otherwise it'll be like the first game I attended at EWU where the scoreboard went out mid game and we had no clue what was going on lol.

Exactly, if its not in by the first home game ill be pissed. Buuuuut, when the pressbox was installed, it wasnt totally complete b4 the first game, but i believe it WAS functional... which leads me to believe it'll be up b4 the game with Montana.

I can't imagine them not getting it done by the UM game. Just no way.
 
It seems like the type of thing that will go up pretty quickly, barring any unforeseen delays. Even if there is a problem, the UM game isn't until the 29th of next month. To me, that's plenty of time to set the thing up.

Montana State U got their scoreboard up within two weeks of getting it. I can't wait to see yours up and running.
I really would like you guys to start expanding seats. Strike while the pans hot.

I can't wait to see it either; it's supposed to be as big as WSU's. As for expanding seating... it's in the works.

The video scoreboard is expected to be in place by Sept. 1 for a high school kickoff event that will take place on Roos Field. The Reese Court video board will be installed shortly thereafter. Both boards will be constructed by Daktronics, one of the nation’s leading scoreboard manufactures.

The football scoreboard is expected to be completed well before the Eagles’ home opener on Sept. 29 against Montana, and will be “very proportionate to the size of Roos Field,” Chaves said.
