New stadium scoreboard live; board reviews Under Armour uniform contract and timing rental options
Summary
The district’s new stadium scoreboard and live displays have been activated and used at recent events. Athletics staff recommended an Under Armour contract (via BSN) for varsity/JV teams to secure product allotments and rebates; Lexicon electronic timing rental and long‑term ownership costs were discussed for meets.
Athletics staff said the district’s new high‑school scoreboard has been installed and activated and has already been used to display player cards and live meet results at recent events. Officials described early successes at lacrosse and track events and said they are developing advertising and sponsorship plans to make the system self‑sustaining.
On uniforms, athletics and procurement staff described options with national vendors routed through BSN. They recommended an Under Armour arrangement that would offer discounts on apparel and footwear, a first‑year product allotment (~$5,000) and multi‑year rebate opportunities; staff said a five‑year agreement and a three‑year transition for full outfitting would be typical, and that BSN provides a storefront option for families.
For meet timing, staff proposed renting Lexicon electronic timing at roughly $700/meet or purchasing a system (roughly $15,000) and discussed the staffing and training overhead that comes with ownership. Board members asked staff to return with contract terms, a cost‑benefit analysis and a plan to allocate any vendor rebates (suggestion: use initial donor funds to cover initial expected uniform purchases).
