Currently, workers are in the process of putting in new speakers as part of a new sound system also purchased with money from the private donor drive. The scoreboard has already been raised into place, and installation will be complete by graduation in May.

Villarreal said that the project would accomplish numerous goals for the program.

I think it does a couple of things, Villarreal said. It shows that were invested in our program, and two, it will create a better atmosphere in the arena.

The scoreboard system is integrated with the system at Apogee Stadium, so the entire system can be run from the football stadium, which Villarreal said was the original intent when Apogee was built.

Head womens basketball coach Mike Petersen said that the new system could help with basketball recruitment.

Weve got a great, 10,000-seat arena and now were putting some of the bells and whistles that it hasnt had because it hasnt been updated in a while, Petersen said.

Assistant director of the Coliseum Connie Verdin said that although not many outside events utilize the current scoreboard, that could change with the new addition.

Hopefully being able to offer events the chance to use the new scoreboard will increase the amount of outside interest, Verdin said.

I guess this is true when you are not winning. Winning cures the atmosphere issue.
