Michigan Stadium will have two new video scoreboards by the fall of 2023.
University Regents on Thursday approved a request by Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel to replace the current video scoreboards, which will cost an estimated $12 million as part of multi-level project. The boards are at the north and south ends of the stadium.
The entire project will cost an estimated $41 million and includes replacing the audio system in the entire stadium, production room upgrades in Crisler Center, infrastructure and design fees, and safety additions. It will be funded by athletic department gifts.
“We plan to fully fund this upfront with athletic department gifts that are restricted for capital purposes," Rob Rademacher, Michigan senior associate athletic director and Chief Operating Officer, told the Regents in his presentation.
