The score board is made up of many sections that could be sold off individually.
When the last RC wood floor was pulled up & replaced they sold off sections ranging in dimensions around 4'8'. I bought one large section with the letters N, A & V. I cut it into 18" by 17" pieces which I framed and gave to people. They made a nice piece of memorabilia.
Sections of the large & heavy scoreboard could be offered to interested buyers eager to have a piece of Bona hoops memorabilia.

I'm thinking to first make it available at a very modest cost to a western NY Catholic high school that might have a need. If that doesn't prove feasible then selling pieces to interested alumni/fans is my suggestion. Either way, just don't junk it.

Bona is planning an online auction scheduled for mid-summer for sections of the scoreboard. Other Bona items like hoops uniforms and warm-ups will be in the auction.

Tasty and first dev - new score board for the air hockey table? Or, maybe raffled off for BAF contributions - like one ticket for each $50?

Saw half the screen in place on Monday. It will be completed next week after the basketball camp.
It is about 14 ft x 9 ft facing each sideline. It will provide a wonderful fan experience & of course is important for visiting recruits to see.

Bill - any idea on the clearance from the floor to the bottom of the board?

Bill - any idea on the clearance from the floor to the bottom of the board? sony, I don't have a definitive answer, but if you look at the pictures of it under assembly that the gobonnies twitter account has provided, it looks like it is smaller (in height) than the old scoreboard. Assuming that it's going to be hung more or less in the same position as the old scoreboard, it shouldn't be any problem at all. I think the renderings that were shown a couple of months ago made it look much larger than it actually is.

Good question Sony. I also don’t know the height off the floor.
I stood beside a section of the dismantled old board. One of the 4 corner sections with BONNIES written vertically on it. That section was 6’3” high. The old board had a top & bottom piece (not part of the scoreboard itself) with advertising. Those two sections combined were just under 5’. So the total height of the old board was 11 feet.
The new video screens are 9’ high. There may be advertising above/below them. Amazingly the video screens are heavier than the old board so structural work had to be done which delayed their completion.
I expect that the new screens will be no lower than the old board & possibly higher.

Saw the video board after installation. It really doesnt hang that low, I dont think it would be even close to being an issue. I was trying to visualize how low the old board was and I think this board isnt as tall. It looks pretty nice, Id love to see it in full use to get a better idea but it should be a huge upgrade just to be able to see a few replays during the game and see more stats.
