(BLOOMINGTON) - Indiana Athletics announced plans for new LED video boards at Bart Kaufman Field and Andy Mohr Field, set to be installed prior to this year’s home openers for Indiana baseball and softball.
"We are thrilled to have this vision of ours now become a reality," said baseball head coach Chris Lemonis. "To have a video board at Bart Kaufman Field, one of the premier college baseball stadiums in the Midwest, will take our already great game day atmosphere - for both our fans and players - to the next level. I want to thank Fred Glass and all of our administration for their continuous support of Indiana baseball. I'm incredibly excited for our fans to experience a new era of Indiana baseball come our home opener on March 7th."
"Andy Mohr Field is one of the top venues in college softball," said softball head coach Shonda Stanton. "Adding this video board will only increase the experience for fans to enjoy a sport that is fast-paced and dynamic. I want to thank Fred Glass and all involved for making this become a reality for our program."
The board at Bart Kaufman Field will measure 26.8 feet high by 48.7 feet wide. At Andy Mohr Field, the board will be 16 feet high by 27 feet wide.
Indiana will work with Anthony James Partners, Prismview and the University Architect's Office on the installation of the boards. IU baseball opens its home schedule on March 7 against Cincinnati, while softball begins play at Andy Mohr Field on March 16 by hosting the Hoosier Classic.
