Delta State University has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a Football Scoreboard project to be located at Parker Field at McCool Stadium in Cleveland, Mississippi. The RFP seeks vendors to remove the existing scoreboard, surrounding advertisements, and score/time keeping ribbon, and replace it with a new, all-digital LED board while maintaining the existing steel posts. Proposals are due on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, at 2:00 pm CST, with a preferred owner turnover date of August 22, 2025. The project involves supply and installation of a new 28'-4" tall scoreboard with two major zones: a 45' wide by 25'-4" tall zone for video and advertisements, and a 45' wide by 3' tall zone for time keeping, scoring, and timeouts.

The technical requirements specify a comprehensive digital scoreboard with specific technical specifications, including an IP-65 rating, 3840 Hz refresh rate, 3 LED lamps per pixel, 10 mm true pixel spacing, 10,000 nit brightness, and a 100,000+ hour LED lifetime rating. Delta State University requires a "turn-key" system with no additional components, including complete demolition, design, installation, and user training. The university prefers a design that includes static signage reading "Delta State University" and desires a lit/backlit/LED display. Prior to production, the final design must be approved by the university, and all proposals with more than a six-month lead time may be rejected.
