The Field House currently relies on our existing portable PA equipment. Administration and staff proposed the purchase and installation of a  permanently installed system. The working group recommended this project to the GBOD for the following reasons.

Use of the portable PA equipment requires additional setup and takedown time which reduces its utility. Having a dedicated system will save wear and tear on our portable equipment which is used throughout the campus at many different events. The permanently installed system will add lasting utility to the Field House for Stargate events. It will also increase the value of the Field House for rental to outside groups, when Stargate activities do not need the facility.
