Quick Answer
The Short Answer
Baseball leads the Indianapolis record. Our review of the shipping record shows 36 entries across 26 organizations, with baseball at 18 of those. The LX1050, a 6 ft × 3 ft outdoor scoreboard with 15-inch digits and 0.8 amps, leads all models with 6 records. The LX3230 and LX2550 each account for 2 entries in their respective sports.
Indiana ranks fourteenth among all fifty states in Electro-Mech's shipping record, with 503 entries across 173 cities and towns. Indianapolis accounts for 36 of those entries, spread across 26 organizations, shipped from 2000 through 2025. The sport breakdown is the first thing worth understanding before any assumption about this city takes hold.
Most buyers who know Indiana expect its capital city to favor the gym. The shipping record does not support that expectation. Baseball accounts for 18 of the 36 entries. Basketball accounts for 7. Football accounts for 7. Softball accounts for 2. Soccer accounts for 2. The model shipped to Indianapolis most often is the LX1050, a 6 ft × 3 ft outdoor baseball and softball scoreboard weighing 78 pounds, not a gymnasium display or a stadium-scale installation.
This article describes each model from what its own published spec sheet states: the LX1050 and LX1030 on the diamond, the LX3230 and LX3140 on the football field, and the LX2550 indoors. It names the six Indianapolis organizations the record ties to a verified official website, links each name to that website, and states exactly what the record says about each entry. The other 20 organizations in the city have no verified official website and are not named here.
Indiana ranks fourteenth among all fifty states by units shipped in Electro-Mech's record, with 503 entries across 173 cities and towns. Indianapolis accounts for 36 of those, at 26 organizations, shipped between 2000 and 2025. Baseball accounts for 18 of those 36 entries, and the most common model is the LX1050, a 6 ft × 3 ft outdoor baseball and softball scoreboard with 15-inch digits that leads all models at 6 records.
That finding runs against the assumption most readers bring to Indiana. The state's identity is basketball. The capital city's scoreboard record is not. Basketball accounts for 7 of the 36 entries. Football accounts for 7. Softball and soccer account for 2 each. Every number in this article is taken verbatim from our review of the Indianapolis shipping record; none are recomputed or estimated.
What follows describes the models the record names, each from its own published spec sheet, and identifies the six organizations the record ties to a verified official website. The other 20 organizations in the record have no verified website and are not named here.
Questions this article answers
- Why does baseball, not basketball, lead the Indianapolis shipping record?
- What are the published specifications for the LX1050, the city's most-shipped model?
- Which Indianapolis organizations appear by name in Electro-Mech's shipping record?
What Does Electro-Mech's Indianapolis Shipping Record Show?
Our review of the shipping record shows 36 entries across 26 Indianapolis organizations, shipped between 2000 and 2025, with baseball at 18 of the 36 entries.
The full sport breakdown is: baseball 18, basketball 7, football 7, soccer 2, softball 2. Each figure is taken verbatim from the city page; none are recomputed here. That breakdown has a clear implication: diamond sports drove more scoreboard purchases in Indianapolis than gym sports or gridiron sports in this record. For a city in Indiana, that finding is worth pausing on.
The model distribution reinforces it. Our review of the shipping record shows the LX1050 leads with 6 entries. The LX1030 accounts for 2 entries, as do the LX1730, the LX2550, the LX3140, and the LX3230. Every other model in the city's record accounts for a single entry. No model outside the diamond category reached more than 2 orders in the city.
Understanding what this record represents matters as much as reading its numbers. Each entry is a scoreboard Electro-Mech sold and shipped to an Indianapolis address. Electro-Mech maintains sales and shipping records, not installation records. Some orders sit in storage before they go up, and no entry in the record confirms when or whether a scoreboard was installed, or whether it still stands today. The record states no reason for any purchase. Where the record is silent, this article is silent.
Six of the 26 organizations have a verified official website and are named in the sections below. The other 20 do not and are not identified in this article. Each named organization is linked to its official website, and the name is written exactly as the record spells it. Some entries in the record list a facility label rather than an organizational buyer; this article does not attribute a facility label to a school or department.
The Indianapolis record fits a broader Indiana pattern. Our review of the statewide shipping record shows 503 entries across 173 cities and towns, placing Indiana fourteenth among all fifty states by units shipped. Baseball also leads at the state level, with 272 of Indiana's 503 entries classified as baseball. The LX1050 is Indiana's most-shipped model at 75 statewide records. The statewide pattern and the Indianapolis pattern align: in this record, diamond programs buy more scoreboards than gym or stadium programs do.
What Makes the LX1050 Indianapolis's Most-Shipped Diamond Scoreboard?
The LX1050 is Electro-Mech's smallest permanently installed outdoor baseball and softball scoreboard, measuring 6 feet wide by 3 feet tall and weighing 78 pounds.
The LX1050 spec sheet gives the complete picture: aluminum cabinet construction, caption height 4-1/2 inches, digit height 15 inches for all displayed values, indicator size 3 inches in diameter, and electrical draw of 0.8 amps at 120 VAC. The model page at electro-mech.com/baseball/scoreboard-lx1050/ adds a specific viewing note: because the captions on this model are short, Electro-Mech recommends using the LX1050 only where the viewing distance stays under 250 feet. That guidance matters for a rec league diamond or a youth field more than for a high school stadium where bleachers sit beyond that range.
Standard equipment includes a simplified 15-key control console, mounting hardware for permanent installation on two posts without on-site fabrication, rust-free aluminum construction, LED displays that are conformal coated for outdoor use, and a five-year limited warranty with toll-free technical support for the life of the product. Operators who prefer the full-featured 37-key control console with LCD display can add it as an option, along with ScoreLink Wireless RF for wireless console communication. ID panels for custom graphics can mount above, below, or on either side of the cabinet.
The LX1030, also in the Indianapolis record at 2 entries, steps up from the LX1050 in both cabinet size and digit height. The LX1030 spec sheet lists a cabinet of 8 ft × 4 ft, weight 113 lb, digit height 18 inches, indicators 4 inches in diameter, and electrical draw 1.1 amps at 120 VAC. The 18-inch digits extend the viewing range beyond the LX1050's 250-foot recommendation, making the LX1030 the practical choice when bleachers or spectator areas extend farther. The LX1030 model page is at electro-mech.com/baseball/scoreboard-lx1030/.
The LX1730, with 2 entries in the Indianapolis record, is a larger diamond scoreboard. The LX1730 spec sheet lists a cabinet of 20 ft × 6-1/2 ft, weight 380 lb, and electrical draw 4.0 amps at 120 VAC. Ball, Strike, Out and Batter Number digits are 18 inches tall, and all other digits are 15 inches tall. The model page is at electro-mech.com/baseball/scoreboard-lx1730/.
One rule that every baseball program navigates independent of a scoreboard is the pitch-count policy governing pitching appearances. According to the NFHS, a 2016 revision to Rule 6-2-6 requires each state association to develop its own pitching restriction policy based on pitches thrown, with mandatory rest between appearances. Little League Baseball publishes its own pitch-count limits and rest-day thresholds by league age. These are league rules administered by coaches, officials, and scorekeepers; none of the scoreboard models described in this article includes a built-in pitch counter.
Which Football Scoreboards Did Indianapolis Organizations Choose?
Football accounts for 7 of the 36 Indianapolis entries, and the LX3230 and LX3140 scoreboards account for 4 of those, making them the primary football purchases in the city's record.
The LX3230 is a compact single-cabinet football scoreboard. The LX3230 spec sheet (Rev 2.0.2017.06.08) places the cabinet at 14 ft × 5 ft, weight 245 lb, aluminum construction. The LED digits for Time and Points are 18 inches tall. Down, To Go, and Quarter are 15 inches tall. Caption height is 8 inches for the main display elements and 6-1/2 inches for others. Electrical draw is 2.1 amps at 120 VAC for the standard model. The LX3230-ETN variant, which adds Electronic Team Names, draws 4.1 amps at 120 VAC, with caption height adjusted to 6-1/2 inches throughout.
The LX3230 carries the same full-featured 37-key control console with LCD display that comes with Electro-Mech's larger football scoreboards, along with fifty programmable brightness levels, a built-in Practice Segment Timer mode, an internally mounted trumpet horn, and mounting hardware for permanent installation on two posts. The model page at electro-mech.com/football/scoreboard-lx3230/ describes it as compact but delivering the same timing and scoring functions as a larger cabinet. Electronic Team Names are available as an add-on for programs that want them, on either the standard or the ETN variant.
The LX3140 accounts for 2 entries in the Indianapolis record. The LX3140 spec sheet lists a cabinet of 10 ft × 5 ft, weight 215 lb, and electrical draw 1.5 amps at 120 VAC. Period Clock digits are 18 inches tall, and all other digits are 15 inches tall. The model page is at electro-mech.com/football/scoreboard-lx3140/.
One entry in the football category belongs to the Indianapolis Colts, Indianapolis, Indiana. That entry, from May 2017, is for the LX3050 Play Clock Set, an accessory display product normally sold in pairs that provides a play clock for the field rather than the full scoring and timing display of a scoreboard. The record classifies the entry under football and it counts among the 7 football entries. The LX3050 Play Clock Set is a different product from the football scoreboards described in this section, and the record carries it under its own model number.
For Electro-Mech's football scoreboard catalog, including models above and below the LX3230 in both cabinet size and feature set, the full range is at electro-mech.com/football. The five-year limited warranty and ScoreLink Wireless RF option apply across the LX-series football line in the same way they apply to the LX3230.
| Specification | LX1050 | LX3230 | LX2550 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sport | Outdoor baseball / softball | Outdoor football | Indoor basketball |
| Cabinet | 6 ft × 3 ft | 14 ft × 5 ft | 9 ft × 5 ft |
| Weight | 78 lb | 245 lb | 135 lb |
| Primary digit height | 15 in (all digits) | 18 in (Time & Points) | 12 in (Score & Clock) |
| Secondary digit height | N/A | 15 in (Down, To Go, Quarter) | 9 in (Fouls & Period) |
| Caption height | 4-1/2 in | 8 in / 6-1/2 in | 5 in / 4 in / 3 in |
| Amps (base) | 0.8 A, 120 VAC | 2.1 A, 120 VAC | 1.5 A, 120 VAC |
| Amps (ETN variant) | N/A | 4.1 A, 120 VAC | 2.2 A, 120 VAC |
Source: the LX1050, LX3230 and LX2550 spec sheets respectively. All values are for the standard base model unless the ETN row is noted.
What Does the LX2550 Offer an Indianapolis Basketball Program?
Basketball accounts for 7 of the 36 Indianapolis entries, and the LX2550 accounts for 2 of those, delivering an indoor 9-by-5-foot cabinet with 12-inch digits for score and clock.
The LX2550 spec sheet (Rev 2.0.2017.06.08) places the cabinet at 9 ft × 5 ft, weight 135 lb, aluminum construction. Guest Team Points, Home Team Points, and Period Clock digits are 12 inches tall. Home Team Fouls, Guest Team Fouls, and Period digits are 9 inches tall. Bonus and Possession indicators are 3 inches. LED colors for the display are amber, red, and green. Electrical draw is 1.5 amps at 120 VAC for the standard model. The LX2550-ETN variant, with Electronic Team Names, draws 2.2 amps at 120 VAC.
The LX2550 is designed for indoor wall mounting. The cabinet includes hanger brackets at the top for attaching to wall-mounted supports, along with eye-bolts on the front for lifting during installation. A data output port on the cabinet supports daisy-chaining additional displays, and a goal light output port supports optional LED backboard goal light kits. Standard equipment includes the full-sized 37-key control console with LCD display, an internal horn, fifty programmable brightness levels, and a five-year limited warranty. ScoreLink Wireless RF is available as an option for wireless console communication, as is a center-hung four-sided configuration for facilities that prefer overhead installation. The model page is at electro-mech.com/basketball/scoreboard-lx2550/.
For basketball programs running games under current NFHS rules, the foul display is the operative number in each quarter. According to the NFHS, since the 2023-24 season Rule 4-8-1 awards two free throws for all common fouls once the opponent commits five fouls in a quarter, with team fouls resetting at the end of each quarter. The change eliminated the one-and-one. A scoreboard displaying running home and guest team foul counts, which the LX2550 carries at 9-inch digits, provides the visible reference officials and players need to track the current rule correctly.
Three of the seven basketball entries in the Indianapolis record belong to named organizations. Lutheran High School, Indianapolis, Indiana, received an LX2665 basketball scoreboard in July 2013. Calvary Lutheran School, Indianapolis, Indiana, received an LX2655 basketball scoreboard in August 2025. Crosspointe Baptist Church, Indianapolis, Indiana, received a 2655 basketball scoreboard in December 2010. The LX2665, LX2655 and 2655 are related designs in Electro-Mech's indoor basketball line. The LX2665 spec sheet lists a cabinet of 10 ft × 5 ft, weight 150 lb, and electrical draw 1.7 amps at 120 VAC, and the LX2655 spec sheet lists 9 ft × 5 ft, weight 133 lb, and 1.5 amps at 120 VAC. On both models, Guest Team Points, Home Team Points and Period Clock digits are 12 inches tall, and all other digits are 9 inches tall. The two LX2550 entries in the record are at organizations not named in this article.
The Assumption
Indiana is known nationally as a basketball state. A buyer researching the Indianapolis record would expect to find gym scoreboards leading, with indoor models on gymnasium walls and diamond and football scoreboards as secondary categories at best.
The Record
Baseball accounts for 18 of the 36 Indianapolis entries. Basketball accounts for 7. Football accounts for 7. Softball accounts for 2. Soccer accounts for 2. The most-shipped model is the LX1050, a compact outdoor diamond scoreboard. The assumption and the record point in opposite directions.
Which Indianapolis Organizations Appear in the Shipping Record?
Six of the 26 organizations in the Indianapolis record have verified official websites and are named in this article; the other 20 have no verified official website and are not identified here.
The record lists each entry with the organization's name, the model shipped, the sport classification, and the ship date. Nothing in the record states why a scoreboard was ordered, what it replaced, or whether it is still in use. The table below reproduces every entry from these six organizations exactly as the record states them.
| Organization | City, State | Model | Sport | Ship Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Calvary Lutheran School | Indianapolis, Indiana | LX2655 | Basketball | 2025-08-18 |
| Crosspointe Baptist Church | Indianapolis, Indiana | 2655 | Basketball | 2010-12-13 |
| Indiana Field Supplies | Indianapolis, Indiana | LX1340 | Baseball | 2025-09-15 |
| Indianapolis Colts | Indianapolis, Indiana | LX3050 Play Clock Set | Football | 2017-05-15 |
| Lutheran High School | Indianapolis, Indiana | LX2665 | Basketball | 2013-07-15 |
| Suburban Christian School | Indianapolis, Indiana | LX1390 | Baseball | 2020-07-27 |
Indiana Field Supplies, Indianapolis, Indiana, holds the most recent shipment in the named group: an LX1340 baseball scoreboard shipped in September 2025. Calvary Lutheran School, Indianapolis, Indiana, received its LX2655 basketball scoreboard in August 2025. Crosspointe Baptist Church, Indianapolis, Indiana, holds the oldest named entry, with a 2655 basketball scoreboard shipped in December 2010.
The Indianapolis Colts entry carries a note. The LX3050 is an accessory display product, a play clock normally ordered in pairs, rather than a full-function scoring display. The record classifies the entry under football, placing it in the 7-entry football total. It is a different product from the football scoreboards described elsewhere in this article.
For Suburban Christian School, Indianapolis, Indiana, the record shows an LX1390 baseball scoreboard shipped in July 2020. The LX1390 spec sheet lists a cabinet of 14 ft × 5 ft, weight 235 lb, and electrical draw 1.8 amps at 120 VAC, with Guest Score, Home Score and Timer digits 18 inches tall and the Period digit 15 inches tall.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does baseball dominate the Indianapolis record rather than basketball?
The record reflects purchasing decisions across 26 organizations over more than two decades. Recreation departments, park districts, youth baseball leagues, and school programs all buy scoreboards, and many run multiple diamonds. Basketball programs typically need one gym scoreboard. The result: baseball accounts for 18 of the 36 Indianapolis entries, against 7 for basketball, even in a state known for basketball.
What are the published specifications for the LX1050?
According to the LX1050 spec sheet, the LX1050 measures 6 ft × 3 ft and weighs 78 pounds. Digit height is 15 inches for all values. Indicator size is 3 inches in diameter. Caption height is 4-1/2 inches. Electrical draw is 0.8 amps at 120 VAC. Electro-Mech recommends this model only where viewing distance stays under 250 feet.
What are the main specifications for the LX3230 football scoreboard?
According to the LX3230 spec sheet, the LX3230 measures 14 ft × 5 ft and weighs 245 pounds. Time and Points digits are 18 inches tall; Down, To Go, and Quarter digits are 15 inches. Caption height is 8 inches. Electrical draw is 2.1 amps at 120 VAC for the standard model. The LX3230-ETN with Electronic Team Names draws 4.1 amps.
What does the LX2550 display for basketball?
The LX2550 (9 ft × 5 ft, 135 lb, indoor) shows Home Team Points, Guest Team Points, and Period Clock in 12-inch digits; Home Team Fouls, Guest Team Fouls, and Period in 9-inch digits; and Bonus and Possession indicators at 3 inches. LED colors are amber, red, and green. Electrical draw is 1.5 amps at 120 VAC for the base model.
Does the record confirm scoreboards are still in use?
No. Each entry is a scoreboard Electro-Mech sold and shipped to an Indianapolis address. Electro-Mech maintains sales and shipping records, not installation records. No entry confirms installation date, current use, or reason for the purchase.
Where is the full Indianapolis shipping record?
The complete record, including all 26 organizations and all 36 entries, is at electro-mech.com/scoreboards-usa-installations/state/indiana/indianapolis/. That page is updated as new orders ship.
