The scoreboard at St. John Arena has seen its final day.
Ohio State removed the 14,000-pound structure, which was installed by the Whiteway Sign Company in 1987, this week. Per Ohio State, the lack of athletic competitions at the venue negated the need for the scoreboard, which had not been fully operational.
Whiteway went out of business in 2014, but Ohio State's electronics team kept the scoreboard operational using spare parts in the years after. Ohio State intends to recycle around 11,000 pounds of material from the scoreboard, but plans to house two corner boards at the Schottenstein Center and Covelli Center for historical purposes.
