The Ohio State Board of Trustees approved these projects, signaling a substantial investment in athletics facilities. The Schottenstein Center's upgrade focuses on bringing the arena up to modern standards, replacing outdated technology with new LED displays and a ribbon board. The challenge in the Schottenstein Center is fitting the new scoreboard within the existing structure to accommodate other non-basketball and hockey events.
Ohio Stadium's renovations include replacing the north end zone video board in 2026 and the south end zone in 2027. These changes follow previous renovations, including the addition of luxury boxes and the relocation of the band to the north stands, all aimed at maximizing revenue and improving fan amenities. The new scoreboards are expected to be significantly larger and more visually impactful.
The Schottenstein Center's scoreboard is expected to be completed by September 2026. The Ohio Stadium north end zone video board will be ready before the 2026 football season, and the south end zone will be completed before the 2027 season.
The Schottenstein Center project has a $5.2 million budget. The Ohio Stadium north end zone project costs $6.5 million, while the south end zone renovation is budgeted at $22 million.
