1.5mil. Also we will likely not get the new scoreboard moved to the north end zone. I think they prioritized the new Founders club vs relocating the scoreboard and a top of the line scoreboard.

To me the upgraded Scoreboard located in the right location from a game atmosphere is much more important than the Founders club. However the founders club could generate recurring revenue for ODAF.

Why are we likely to not get the scoreboard? ODU has announced it and they have the money for it and the Founders Club.

We will get an upgraded scoreboard in the existing location. But not a liberty class scoreboard and sound system located in the North end zone. I think it is a HUGE mistake not to do that. I suspect cost for relocation, time for design and construction, and other priorities have factored into that decision.

The scoreboard isn’t as big of an issue to me. But I can see their logic in not wanting to spend millions on a relocation. If the eventual plans are to enclose the lower bowl, why put a scoreboard behind the bleachers that may have to be relocated again? I think the smart spend was on the revenue generating feature.
