    A new 84'-wide x 28'-tall high definition-rated score/videoboard accompanied the 7,000-seat end zone expansion in the summer of 2010. The new board, which ranks among the 25 largest in college football, features state-of-the-art video capabilities for fan enjoyment. In addition, a new auxiliary scoreboard was added to the Murphy Center on the west side to give spectators easy visibility access from all viewing locations.
  • TowneBank Tower (Southside Renovation)
    Completed in the summer of 2019, TowneBank Tower is the centerpiece of ECU’s Southside Renovation Project. Hovering over the south grandstand, the new facility creates 1,000 seats through the addition of a new Club Level, Loge Boxes, Standard Suites and Founder’s Suites. As part of the renovation, a new Pirate Club level was also created for members to have access on game day, while a premium parking lot enables each pass holder to utilize cable TV connections and electrical outlets. Additionally, a modern press level with additional space for media, including amended radio, television broadcast and production locations, is located on the fifth floor.
