New Sponsor Wanted For New AMSOIL Arena Scoreboard

DULUTH, Minn. — Final design work is underway for a new state-of-the-art scoreboard at AMSOIL Arena.  And there’s a rare sponsorship opportunity on it.

The section up for ownership is where the current Pepsi logo is facing down on center ice. DECC officials say it’s a prime spot to get in front of thousands of UMD Bulldog fans during games and concertgoers. The cost is $25,000 for the year.

“We’re just looking for any local business or organization that wants to see their logo on the bottom of the board it’s one of our primary sponsorship locations in the entire arena. If you think about it when concerts happen the board actually goes up into the rafter and so the only thing that people actually see is that giant logo,” said Dan Hartman, DECC executive director.

Hartman says the new $800,000 scoreboard will have better resolution that any college hockey scoreboard in the country.

It’s expected to be up and running by January.
