Baxter Arena (67th & Center Street)

[Brad]

Baxter Arena has the Doordash app for the concession stands! Order from your seat on the Doordash app, walk up to a special window at the concession stand and you order is sitting there waiting! Amazingly fast!

Food only?

No, anything they sell at the concession stand you pick. Apparently they usually don't pour the beer until you arrive and they see your wristband.

Awesome, thanks for the update. Will definitely use this at the hockey games. (what a great series last weekend, I missed the game Friday night though because I was coaching my high school team).

Nice and well-deserved

I didn't realize some upgrades were coming to Baxter for next season. Gary Sharp mentioned this morning that Baxter is getting a new upgraded scoreboard and new ribbon boards. Mentioned the ribbon boards will now be on all 4 sides.

The score board needed it. It was struggling this hockey season.

UNO, Baxter Auto Extend Naming Rights Partnership for Baxter Arena

https://www.unomaha.edu/news/2025/04/un ... -arena.php

UNO and Baxter Auto have extended the naming rights agreement for Baxter Arena through at least June 30, 2030. The extension coincides with the arena’s 10-year anniversary and includes plans for updated exterior signage to reflect the continued partnership.

I heard over the weekend I the Baxter's old boards are already gone.

[omaha79]

yeah, the boards were flickering badly. It's crazy that Baxter is already 10 years old which is roughly the lifespan on these boards now, if not pushing it a bit. So, very much needed.

I'm re-posing this article. I thought one of you had already posted it, but I can't find it now...

Continuous Centerhung Coming to the University of Nebraska at Omaha from Daktronics

https://omavs.com/news/2025/6/2/baxter- ... onics.aspx

Centerhung Details
A continuous video display experience, the centerhung features one large curved display measuring approximately 16.5 feet high by 85 feet around. It features a 3.9-millimeter pixel spacing to deliver crisp, clear images to fans in every seat. The canvas is capable of variable content zoning allowing it to show one large image or multiple zones of content, including live video, instant replays, up-to-the-minute statistics and game information, graphics and animations, and sponsorship messages.

...

Ribbon Board Details
Running along the seating fascia, a new ribbon display will be installed to share additional information similar to the centerhung. This display also provides the opportunity to highlight sponsors and game information throughout the entire inner bowl of the arena. It measures more than 1.5 feet high by 713.5 feet long and features a 10-millimeter pixel spacing.

Video Wall Details
At the main entrance, a video wall will measure 6.5 feet high by 12 feet wide and feature 1.8-millimeter pixel spacing. Additionally, at the north stairway, another video wall will measure 5.5 feet high by 10 feet wide and feature 1.5-millimeter pixel spacing. These displays provide excellent image clarity and contrast for those people standing mere feet away from the display. They are able to share welcome messages, highlights, sponsor messaging dynamic content and other special information depending on the event.

Daktronics Show Control ties together the display system and powers the technology through every event. This industry-leading control system provides a combination of display control software, world-class video processing, data integration and playback hardware that forms a powerful yet user-friendly production solution.

Thanks for posting. That looks great. Wonder if CHI will get a similar board?

It would almost be disappointing if they didn't get at least as good as what Baxter is getting.

This is from two weeks ago, but it gives you an idea of how big it is:

[Brad]

Cool they let the sponsor come and help put their logos on the Ice!

Has Rotella's been on the ice in the past? Idk why, but it looks pretty dope.

Yeah, since they moved to the Baxter. It looks great in that photo but won't be as vibrant when it has an inch of ice over it.

[Brad]

The new scoreboard is great! But like downtown, the most noticeable upgrade in resolution is on the ribbon boards.

[Brad]

Seems like a very basic questions, but not sure I have ever heard it asked. I would tend to agree, never thought you could replace the civic, but I think the Baxter has been a great replacements.

[GenX]

I drove by there tonight, and according to the north facing sign, it’s Baxter Arna.

[Brad]

Baxter arena got new signs today.
