Looking good.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. Does the new turf have a midfield logo? Things have come a long ways since the seventies, eighties, and nineties. Anyone remember the days of the grass field, cinder track, and purple scoreboard in between the end zone and the field house? Remember when the student section was in the small set of stands at the opposite end of the field (where the new scoreboard is now located)?

Go Indians!

You mean the end zone stands that we ran up and down full speed during off-season? I remember those well. Never sat in them though.

Kids are spoiled now. If you told them that the original field house was an old brick building that was built in 1950 and used until the 90's, they might not believe it.

No midfield logo yet as I can see when I drove by today. They were working in the end closes to field house

Flashback to the pre-turf, pre-stadium modernization days. Check out the old scoreboard that was installed about 15-20 years ago. This photo is from about 2007.



That scoreboard, built by Fair Play, was later replaced by the current Nevco scoreboard. Nothing lasts forever...The message display is still around though and part of the current structure.

Prior scoreboard installed early 2000s.



And scoreboard installed in 80's

Kinda miss that old field house. I remember when they built the new one I was disappointed that the varsity locker room wasn’t anything like the old one. The one now is basically a bunch of metal lockers with benches in front.

NDNBand69! Welcome back!

Taken from 50 yard line bottom row. I adjusted the view on my phone till it matched the width of the board. That’s what you see at the 50 yard line.

The width of the old video board is about the width of the purple “Welcome to the Reservation” sign on the bottom of the new scoreboard.

For comparison purposes, those ad signs on the sides and bottom are larger than a 4x8 sheet of plywood. (Huntsman, BASF, etc) Probably 5’ x 10’.

I only wish they would have moved the scoreboard inside the track. Cost for that type of move was a factor.

Just look at the size. Massive!
