Tacoma Rainiers Stadium Branding & Scoreboard Upgrade
Plumb Signs · Real-World Signage · Tacoma, WA
Home of the Rainiers — rebuilt in 12 weeks.
A stadium-wide signage rebuild at Cheney Stadium — pylon, scoreboard, and ribbon LED, delivered between seasons.
Project Overview
Plumb Signs completed a full signage transformation for Cheney Stadium, delivering modern LED and architectural signage systems that elevate branding, visibility, and the overall fan experience. The results reflect precision engineering and community pride — illuminating the Tacoma Rainiers’ home field with bold, energy-efficient signage built to last.
From highway visibility to in-stadium LED displays, Plumb Signs reimagined one of Tacoma’s most iconic venues with modern fabrication, lighting, and design precision.
The Challenge
Cheney Stadium required a full signage overhaul that spanned highway pylons, LED boards, and internal branding — all completed between baseball seasons. Tight construction windows and public safety requirements demanded detailed coordination and engineering precision.
Our team managed permitting, fabrication, and installation across multiple elevations while integrating new LED systems and modernized supports — all without disrupting venue operations.
Our Process
How We Built It
Five phases delivered between seasons.
Planning & Design
Developed structural drawings, electrical routes, and visibility studies for stadium-wide LED integration.
Highway 16 Pylon
Installed a freestanding pylon featuring aluminum channel letters and a dynamic LED message center.
Main Scoreboard
Built a 35′ × 66′ HD LED video board with four catwalks and custom TACOMA RAINIERS channel letters.
Auxiliary Display
Added a 16′ × 70′ scoreboard with illuminated Rainiers logo and synchronized visuals.
Ribbon LED Display
Wrapped 130 ft of seating fascia with animated ribbon LED displays to boost crowd engagement.
Sign Removal & Preparation
Before new installations began, Plumb Signs handled the safe removal and disposal of outdated stadium signage and electrical systems. This phase required heavy equipment coordination, traffic management near Highway 16, and on-site collaboration with the Rainiers’ facilities team.
Each removal site was inspected, resurfaced, and prepped for new structural supports, ensuring a clean and efficient build environment for the LED conversion.
Testimonial
“Highly recommended! Cheney Stadium is a living example — quite a transformation in the last few months thanks to Danielle Marston and the team at Plumb.”
