Ohio State considers new $5.2 million Schottenstein Center scoreboard ...Middle East

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- Ohio State University's board of trustees will vote next week on whether to replace the Schottenstein Center scoreboard.

The Board of Trustees will meet on Wednesday, and a new Schottenstein Center scoreboard is on the agenda for approval. If approved, the $5.2 million project would replace the existing scoreboard, 360-degree ribbon board and any outdated LED boards or signs.

According to the project data plans, the new scoreboard would be designed between June and September and built between April and September 2026. Project plans said the replacement was planned separately from a plan to modernize athletics' technology to accommodate event schedules at the arena.

The six-month gap between the design process and construction phase will provide time to order materials in advance to ensure installation can be done around scheduled events. The Schottenstein Center's event calendar only lists performances through Dec. 13, but the space will host the Jonas Brothers, John Legend and Lorde this year.

It also bypasses the basketball season, as Ohio State men's basketball has called the Schottenstein Center home since it opened in 1998. The Big Ten announced Ohio State will play 10 home games next year, hosting Purdue, UCLA and USC. Although dates have yet to be announced -- with nonconference schedules coming this summer and conference games announced in September -- it is known the 2025-2026 season begins in late fall and concludes the first week of April.

Project plans said the new scoreboard will fit within the existing scoreboard's footprint and reuse the same hoist. It would use auxiliary funds, budgeting $600,000 for professional services and $4.6 million for the construction.

The replacement schedule plans to debut the new board in October 2026 debut.
