CITY DEBUTS NEW VIDEO SCREEN AT GRANDE STADIUM

If you are heading to a football game at Grande Communications Stadium this weekend, you won’t help but notice the new improved video board and scoreboard.  Both were recently installed and will improve the overall sporting experience for fans.

The old 14’ x 19’ LED Board has been replaced with a 15’ x 27’ Video Board.  The video board will be able to display live footage, video, and instant replay.  The system includes five stationary cameras and one wireless roaming camera.

The scoreboard is being replaced with an upgraded wireless scoreboard for better operation capabilities. 

Tonight marks the beginning of Midland Football Madness with games planned for Thursday night, Friday night, and all day Saturday. 

BURGLARY ASSAULT SUSPECT

Midland Police need the help of the public in identifying and arresting a man accused of burglarizing an apartment then assaulting a woman with a knife.
