This is a good project and looks nice(I assume the corner gaps will be filled in like other center hung boards).

But I do find it odd that they have replaced both scoreboards at the Arena and stadium so soon after opening.

I heard that the company they originally did it through is no longer around so the pieces to replace issues were incredibly hard to find. I hope someone knows better than I that can back that up.

That would make a lot of sense as neither of the boards were much more than a decade old.

The renovation opened in the 2010-11 season.

I guess this was on my mind because I am also puzzled that they have so quickly moved away from the wordmark/font they spent so much money on to go along with the new dog head logo.

I think the only time the font is used at all is the S on baseball hats.

It's kind of a shame.

Corner pieces installed on the scoreboard. Back with the updated Pepsi logo.
