Auburn trustees to vote on final approval for $25.7 million videoboard in Jordan-Hare Stadium
MIRAMAR BEACH, Fla. — A videoboard being added to the north end zone of Jordan-Hare Stadium is becoming more of a reality.
Auburn trustees, at their upcoming board meeting June 7, will vote on final approval for the project, which the board previously approved initiation for in February. The total project cost is $25.7 million. It'll be financed by gift funds, according to documents posted by the board.
The videoboard will be approximately 47 feet high and 154 feet wide for a total of 7,238 square feet. That makes it about two-thirds the size of the current videoboard in the south end zone, which is 10,690 square feet.
"The videoboard will provide an improved gameday experience notably for south end zone patrons, including the student section, who will have a clear view of the new videoboard," board documents say. "The videoboard is planned to be supported by a concrete frame structure that will facilitate further future development in the north end zone."
In a previous release, the athletics department said ground is expected to be broken in the summer of 2024 and the project is expected to be completed by the beginning of the 2025 season.
