Ohio State to get new scoreboard atop Ohio Stadium south stands
· Yahoo Sports
Ohio State has decided to go all in on renovations to Ohio Stadium. The historic landmark is getting yet another facelift in the near future. A new playing surface is being installed that is more in line with NFL standards for the beginning of the fall season, and upgraded WiFi access points will give fans an even more immersive experience on Saturday afternoons. Now, The Columbus Dispatch has reported that plans have been approved for a new scoreboard.
Joey Kaufman reported that the board of trustees approved a second phase of a $31 million project that upgrades the main video board that sits atop the south stands, along with a new sound system that will come in 2027. This comes after a new video board was approved for the north end of the stadium, as well as new ribbon boards that were approved last year and will be ready for the start of the 2026 season.

Athletic Director Ross Bjork said the new board will offer fans a larger screen with more enhanced visuals. "It'll make the south board sort of stand out," Bjork said. "With modern technology, it'll be brighter. It'll be more crisp."
The current board measures 42 feet by 125 feet and was last upgraded in 2012. It is expected that the new board will be larger, although the specific dimensions were not given.
