Raising the Standard in NAIA Baseball: New Nevco Video Installation at Tennessee Wesleyan University

EDWARDSVILLE, IL, February 19, 2026 – Nevco Sports, a leading provider of integrated sports solutions, is proud to announce the completion of a dynamic outdoor installation at Tennessee Wesleyan University in Athens, Tennessee. The comprehensive upgrade brings modern video, scoring, and custom design elements to Bobby Goodfriend Field, enhancing the game-day experience for players, coaches, and fans.

As the official scoreboard & digital display provider of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), Nevco is committed to raising the standard in NAIA programs by delivering professional-grade video and scoring solutions to member institutions nationwide. This installation at Tennessee Wesleyan University reflects that commitment, providing an elevated competitive environment for student-athletes while enhancing fan engagement and creating new revenue opportunities for the program.

At the center of the installation is a 10MM Outdoor LED Video Display (9.45’H x 15.75’W). Designed to deliver crisp imagery and vibrant color in all outdoor lighting conditions, the display provides an engaging platform for live-action replays, player statistics, graphics, and sponsor content. Beyond enhancing the fan experience, the display also creates valuable sponsorship inventory and in-game advertising opportunities, turning every inning into a new source of revenue for the athletic program. The addition of video brings new energy and excitement to the baseball field, ensuring every fan in attendance can follow the action in greater detail.

“This project has completely transformed the look and feel of Bobby Goodfriend Field at Athens Insurance Stadium,” said Donny Mayfield, the Tennessee Wesleyan University Athletic Director. “Our student-athletes deserve a first-class environment, and this investment not only enhances the fan experience but also reflects the pride we have in our baseball program.”

Complementing the video display is a Royal Blue Model 1606 Baseball/Softball Scoreboard featuring bright white digits for maximum visibility from every angle. The scoreboard includes white electronic team name displays for both competing teams and is accented with white striping, creating a clean, professional appearance that enhances the overall aesthetic of the facility.

To further elevate the experience, the installation also includes two Royal Blue Model 9635 Pitch Timer Displays with white digits. These additions provide clear, real-time game information, allowing fans to stay closely connected to every pitch and every moment on the field.

Above the video display, a prominent Outdoor Sign (24’W x 3’H) proudly displays the name “Bobby Goodfriend Field,” honoring the field’s namesake and reinforcing a strong sense of tradition and identity within the program. Completing the installation is a custom arched truss, crowned with a decorative logo positioned at its center. This architectural feature adds visual impact and school pride, creating a cohesive and eye-catching focal point for the venue.

“We wanted this project to feel like it truly belonged at Tennessee Wesleyan,” said Matthew Wells, Senior Sports Video Consultant at Nevco. “From the video board to the finishing design details, everything was built to enhance the atmosphere and give fans something they can really rally around on game day.”

The completed project provides Tennessee Wesleyan University with a modern baseball environment designed to serve the program for years to come, delivering an elevated viewing experience and a professional atmosphere for every game.
