Fairfield University Scoreboards

Sign Pro installed new Daktronics scoreboards at Fairfield University's Alumni and University Fields, then fabricated and installed the custom arch signs that crown them, completing the full upgrade over four days on site.

Daktronics Scoreboard Install

About This Project

Fairfield University upgraded the scoreboards at its Alumni and University Fields with new displays from Daktronics. Sign Pro installed the scoreboards and also built the custom arch signs that sit on top of them, giving both fields a finished, branded look.


Sign Pro turned the client's rendering into scaled shop drawings and fabricated the arches in Plantsville, CT. Each arch features 18-inch white PVC letters with 3M Perfect Match Red and black vinyl, 5.75-inch white vinyl letters, and 0.5-inch punch-hole perforated aluminum on a 4 x 4-inch black aluminum frame, bolted to the existing H-beams with four 12-foot aluminum support tubes.

The Challenge

LARGE-FORMAT SCOREBOARDS

LARGE-FORMAT SCOREBOARDS

Craning full-size stadium scoreboards into place at two separate fields took a tightly sequenced lift plan.

MOUNTING TO EXISTING STEEL

MOUNTING TO EXISTING STEEL

The arches had to bolt to H-beams spaced about 91 inches apart, with support tubes cut to fit on site.

OPEN-AIR EXPOSURE

OPEN-AIR EXPOSURE

Everything sits high above outdoor fields, so the arches use black aluminum frames and perforated aluminum panels.

How Sign Pro Delivered

Scoreboard Installation

Over three days, crews of three to four craned the Daktronics scoreboards into place with Sign Pro's own crane trucks, then secured them with a mag drill and new vertical uprights.

Step 1

Custom Arch Fabrication

Sign Pro turned the client's rendering into scaled shop drawings and built the letters, panels, and frames in Plantsville in Fairfield's colors.

Step 2

Arch Installation

On day four, a five-person crew craned the arch signs into place with Sign Pro's trucks to finish the project.
