UNF’s Dusty Rhodes Field at Harmon Stadium and the UNF Softball Complex are getting video boards and LED scoreboards after partnering with Nevco.

To help better the fans experience and hopefully draw a larger audience, like the first video board did in the UNF Arena, the plan to get video boards and LED scoreboards is now becoming a reality.

“[To have video boards and LED scoreboards] has been in my long range plan. I just didn’t broadcast it to everyone,” said UNF Athletic Director Lee Moon.

Another factor that played in the decision was ASUN Baseball Championship, which will take place in May at UNF.

“With UNF set to host the ASUN Baseball Championship in May, these additions provide us the opportunity to make the conference tournament an even more memorable event,” said Moon.

The new boards will not only have high definition-like screens, but also have capability for video replays and offer real time stats with a full scoreboard.

Together the boards will cost approximately $300,000 dollars, according to Moon, and student fees will not be paying for any of it.

“The money did not come out of student fees,” said Moon. “All the money came from marketing funds and donations.”

According to Moon, the boards will be delivered sometime during the week of Aug. 28. Each board will take 60 days to be installed. Moon aims to have the boards up by Sept. 10, to be ready to use for the Ospreys 2018 season.
