New Dome color display expected midmonth
CommentsA new readerboard for the Tacoma Dome should be up and running by the week of July 13, Dome manager Mike Combs said last week.
The computer system in the old sign died in mid-April, he said, and at more than 20 years old the manufacturer in Portland wasn’t able to repair it.
The system was so old, part of the programming process involved floppy disks, Combs said.
Travelers on north- and southbound Interstate 5 will be treated to a full-color LED display.
The cost of the upgrade is expected to run $175,000 to $200,000 and will come from the Dome’s reserve fund, he said.
