The University of Toledo, through its partnership with Learfield IMG College, announced the addition of a new LED message board that will debut in the Glass Bowl this fall. <\/p>\n

The electronic board will be 180 feet long and will replace the current wooden sponsor boards on the east side of the stadium.<\/p>\n

“Our goal is to create an in-game environment that can only be experienced in person,” said Toledo Vice President and Athletic Director Mike O’Brien. “The new LED message board, combined with the video boards we currently have located in both end zones, will make the game-day atmosphere in the Glass Bowl more informative and exciting for our fans.”<\/p>\n

The message board will make its debut in the Rockets’ home opener vs. Murray State Saturday, Sept. 14. <\/p>\n

Toledo will open the 2019 season at Kentucky Saturday, Aug. 31. <\/p>\n

Full-time UToledo employees and retirees may purchase up to two season tickets at half-price. Additional season tickets may be purchased at the full price. UToledo students are admitted to home games free with ID.<\/p>\n
