The University of Iowa where I work is selling the scoreboard and Sony Jumbotron from the football stadium, Kinnick Stadium, which seats 70,000. What’s interesting about that is the athletics department decided to sell it on eBay. Check out our University of Iowa Jumbotron on eBay. There’s only two days left on the auction so bid now. Bids of $10K+ and higher are now being accepted!
FYI, I checked around and this is official. The auction listing made me wonder if it was for real (it’s sparse on details and the seller has not accrued much whuffie in the eBay sense of the word). The reason they’re selling it is they’re starting a $90 million renovation of the stadium.
