treated to in-game replays, statistics and live video feed at Memorial
Stadium thanks to a new 55-by-31 feet scoreboard, which is currently the
second largest in NCAA Division II.
"Having a scoreboard this size will give our university a first-class
opportunity to showcase our student-athletes, coaches and fans," said
Carlton Cooper, A&M-Commerce athletic director. "Enhancing and upgrading
our facilities has been a priority for our department since my first day
on the job."
The scoreboard, manufactured by Daktronics, was constructed on the south
side of the stadium. It was just one of the many significant upgrades at
Memorial Stadium this summer, which included the addition of 3,000 seats
on the east side of the stadium. Three hundred of the seats will have
chair backs and feature drink holders for fans, and will serve as the
home section for Commerce ISD.
A six booth press box, concession stand and light fixtures around the
track and football field were also a part of the renovations at Memorial
Stadium.
