Can you tell me more about the quality of a Varsity scoreboard?

The state-of-the-art powder-coat finish on a heavy-duty galvanneal steel cabinet makes Varsity Scoreboards unequaled in terms of durability and lasting appearance! Many of Varsity's competitors use a light gauge of aluminum to construct their cabinets. Steel scoreboard cabinets are stronger, more rigid, can withstand higher wind loads and are more dent resistant than aluminum cabinets. Plus, our super-bright LED displays last over 100,000-hours of continual use, require no maintenance and have the widest viewing angle in the industry!

The wireless option eliminates the control cable between the scorekeeper's controller and the scoreboard.

The wireless remote comes standard with an AC wall adapter. Four (4) AA batteries are included with our handheld controller. The keyboard controller has an option for a rechargeable battery pack.
