First it was the red turf. Now Eastern Washington has a new video board at Roos Field.

Crews are working this week to install the video scoreboard before the Eagles' home opener September 29 against Montana.

"I love it! I think that's bigger than our old scoreboard – just the TV alone," said head coach Beau Baldwin. "It's pretty darn cool."

"I think with a great crowd that will be here, I think they will be entertained on the field and off the field," said Director of Athletics, Bill Chaves. "Just seeing replays and seeing all the other types of amenities that other stadiums have."

"I love it, I just can't wait until we play Montana and see the video board up and in action," said receiver Nicholas Edwards.
