PRINCE GEORGE—A new scoreboard is being installed at Masich Place Stadium, today (Apr.17) and renovations to the Stadium will continue through the spring.

The new scoreboard features an 11 by 16 foot electronic LED video display—aimed at enhancing visitor experience with animations and graphics.

The new board will come equipped with a brand new sound system as part of an upgraded stadium PA system and should take two weeks to install, dependant on weather.

Delay of game timers for football and lacrosse will be installed and the halogen field lighting is being replaced with new LED lighting to help with energy consumption.

Renovations in the grandstand are nearing completion which include:
