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.

Installation & Fabrication

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.

Two Fields, Four Install Days

The Challenge
LARGE-FORMAT SCOREBOARDS
Craning full-size stadium scoreboards into place at two separate fields took a tightly sequenced lift plan.
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
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.

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.

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