Prather progress

The bucket trucks are in Prather Coliseum today beginning the process of installing the new Daktronics scoreboards.

First step is taking the old scoreboards off the walls, and that's a delicate process.

They're doing the north end wall first since there is a Lady Demon volleyball game here Wednesday night. The new scoreboard should be up by then.

Then comes the south end scoreboard, the one most of us look at for basketball.

That's not all. There will be new scoretables with a data display panel, the same as on the scoreboards, so game stats and other info can be available.

You'll see some of the sharply produced signage in the concourse and concession areas similar to what has gone up over the concession stands at Turpin Stadium.

There is also a breathtaking display in the works that will completely transform the interior of the arena. If you liked the championship banners going up several years ago, you are gonna love what you see in Prather this season.

Even before tipoff!
