Anaheim : City Considers New Stadium Scoreboard

When workers installed a $2-million scoreboard at Anaheim Stadium in 1980, it was considered state-of-the-art.

But technology marched on, and now the city is considering buying a second scoreboard--one that will display computerized, multicolor graphics and instant replays--with a price tag of $3 million to $9 million.

Anaheim officials have sent bid requests to 14 companies across the country, said Cynthia King, assistant to the city manager.

The city will consider a second scoreboard at the request of the stadium’s major tenants, the Angels and the Rams, Anaheim spokeswoman Sheri Erlewine said. If a second board is installed, one could be used for player statistics while the other could flash instant replays, King said.
