Summary
Spur Chevrolet provided $43,000 toward an LED scoreboard at Canyon Stadium under a 10-year agreement; district expects installation in late September and plans a public photo and unveiling.
District athletics staff presented an informational update that Spur Chevrolet and GMC donated $43,000 to fund a new LED scoreboard at Tommy Davidson Field at Canyon Stadium under a 10-year sponsorship agreement.
Ricky Williams, presenting on behalf of athletics, said the scoreboard is expected to arrive in late September and the district will stage a photo and recognition event when it is installed. The agreement includes a large advertising board for the sponsor and gives the football program the right to sell three smaller advertising boards to raise revenue for the athletic program.
Athletics staff said Spur has provided approximately $75,000 in sponsorships for the program over several years across scoreboards and other support. The scoreboard will include an LED display and a hornet logo; staff described it as having modern features and not using an intermittent "blink" display.
No formal action was required; the item was presented as information. Staff asked community members to recognize the sponsor's support and to contact Steven Hernandez at Spur for sponsorship follow-up.
Ending
The district plans a community photo and recognition event when the new scoreboard is installed; staff said it should be in place by late September.
