After 37 years of operation, the old scoreboard on the north end of Jordan-Hare Stadium is set to come down.
Auburn Board of Trustees recently approved plans to add a new video board to the north end of Jordan-Hare Stadium. According to a press release from Auburn Athletics, the project will break ground this summer and will be completed before the 2025 football season.
Not only will Jordan-Hare receive a new video board, but it will also allow the concourse in the north endzone to be expanded. The move will allow traffic to flow more freely within that end of the stadium and will provide more food and beverage options to fans in attendance.
Auburn athletic director [autotag]John Cohen[/autotag] says that the new video board will enhance the fan experience, as well as provide an upgrade to the stadium aesthetic.
“We are appreciative of the Auburn Board of Trustees for its continued support of Auburn Athletics and the Auburn Family,” Cohen said. “This videoboard project will not only take a big step in our efforts to provide a better aesthetic balance between Jordan-Hare Stadium’s north and south end zones and an improved sound experience, but more importantly will continue to modernize the fan experience for our fan base. It will also give our south end zone patrons, including our student section, an opportunity to have an unimpeded and straight-ahead view of a state-of-the-art videoboard.”
The new video board will be slightly smaller than the one that occupies the south endzone of Jordan-Hare Stadium. The video board is projected to measure 154 feet wide and 47 feet tall for a total of 7,238 square feet. The south endzone video board measures 10,690 square feet. The video board will replace the scoreboard, which was installed in 1987.
The future is 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁! The first step toward modernizing the north end zone at Jordan-Hare Stadium is coming.
A new state-of-the-art videoboard for @AuburnFootball has received initial approval!
