Provo-based Nu Skin Enterprises recently had an “All In” campaign asking fans and donors to help overcome a $20 million shortfall.
Holmoe confirmed none of the $15 million raised from the campaign will be used on the scoreboard.
This represents the first upgrade on LaVell Edwards Stadium scoreboards since 2005.
Nu Skin has been a partner of BYU football’s video boards since 1996. This is the first year the Cougars had an instant replay screen.
Both video boards at the north and south ends of the stadium will be replaced. Their current dimensions are 34 by 50 feet.
The new dimensions of the south board will be 48 by 131 feet and the north board’s new dimensions will be 36 by 72 feet.
New LED ribbon boards will also be installed on the north and south ends of the stadium to match the current ribbon board on the east side of the stadium.
The north and south ribbon boards are currently four feet tall and will be replaced with 8-feet ribbon boards.
A new single-point sound system will replace the old sound system in the north end zone. This will significantly enhance the audio experience for those in attendance.
Reports confirm construction on these video boards commences later this month.
In March, the city of Provo voted on new upgrades to the stadium for a “Minor Project Plan” approval and the renovations were approved.
