SNA Displays, a large digital display producer, has been awarded a contract to upgrade video boards throughout Lucas Oil Stadium, home to the NFL's Indianapolis Colts, by the Capital Improvement Board of Managers of Marion County (CIB), according to a company press release.

The CIB operates the stadium, which also hosts the Big Ten Football Championship game, concerts, conventions and other public and private events. Lucas Oil Stadium will host the 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Trials for swimming, making it the first football stadium to do so. Display installation is expected to be complete in July for Big Ten Football Media Days.

The overhaul is the first display technology refresh since the stadium was completed in 2008 and includes the replacement of more than 50 LED displays. In total, the new Lucas Oil Stadium LED display network will include more than 19,500 square feet of LED displays and 21.3 million pixels.

"Our broadcast engineering staff have done an impressive job of extending the useful life of the existing video displays well beyond the typical life expectancy of seven to 10 years," Andy Mallon, executive director of the Indiana Convention Center/Lucas Oil Stadium, said in the release. "The original video display, which was state-of-the-art when it was installed upon completion of the stadium, gave us 14 years of great service, but replacement parts have become obsolete or very difficult to find and technology has evolved to allow for even higher quality visuals. We want to give our guests the high-quality video experience they expect and deserve, which is what SNA Displays provides, and we can't wait to have the new displays up and running."

SNA Displays is also recycling demolished signage material through a local recycling company. The signage upgrade includes two 53-foot-high by 97-foot-wide main LED video boards in the stadium's northwest and southeast corners and more than 2,000 linear feet of LED ribbon displays.
