new hi-def video boards enhance the game day atmosphere at the Hulman Center

As one of the premier basketball venues in the Missouri Valley Conference, the Hulman Center’s latest upgrade has been made possible entirely through private funding thanks to a $2 million gift from the Hulman-George family.

The new video boards will replace the existing Nevco video displays with an updated Daktronics model. The center-hung board will feature two sideline-facing displays measuring 14.76 feet tall and 24.6 feet wide, while two endzone displays will run 9.84 feet tall by 16.4 feet wide. Additionally, the center-hung board will also feature two 5.74 foot by 13.12 foot video display panels underneath that will feature live, in-game statistics, information, and more.

“This generous gift by the George family allows us to put the finishing touches on one of the top basketball facilities in the Missouri Valley Conference!”

Other court enhancements will feature endzone ribbon displays that will measure 3.28 feet by 96.79 feet, while new Vom ribbon displays over the court-level entryways will run 3.28 feet by 16.40 feet. All ribbon displays will provide additional chances for ISU athletics sponsor elements as well as other in-game promotions.

The Sycamores will also be adding two new LED scorer’s tables that will sit courtside and will feature in-game advertising and information. New LED basketball game clocks and LED game clocks and shot clock timers will also be installed throughout the arena, while locker room clock displays will be installed behind the scenes to keep all working parties aware of the countdown to game time.

The installation will continue the recent enhancements made to the Hulman Center.

The 9,000-seat facility recently underwent a $50 million renovation that added several updates to the building, including a new exterior façade and a glass entrance at the south end that added square footage and event/meeting space.

Other major upgrades included a new multi-purpose suite overlooking the court, as well as an open-faced area on the south end of the arena. New restrooms and concession stands were developed on the new concourse area, while new lighting and an improved sound system also enhanced the facility.
