From the Court to the Stadium: ScoreVision Powers Battle at Buell
On August 21, 2025, Millard Public Schools brought something new to Nebraska high school athletics: the Battle at Buell, an outdoor volleyball triangular hosted at Buell Stadium. More than a thousand fans filled the football stands, watching Millard North, Millard South, and Millard West take the court under the lights.
The night was about more than matches—it was about community. Families, students, and alumni came together to experience volleyball in a new setting, creating memories that will last long after the final serve.
Making Volleyball Work in a Stadium
Hosting volleyball outdoors isn’t simple. Fans need to follow along with every point, and the energy of the game has to reach every seat in the stadium. That’s where ScoreVision supported the vision.
With the district’s shared LED football display, ScoreVision’s volleyball scorekeeping app and production tools helped fans stay connected to the action. The system made it possible to:
- Show live volleyball scoring on the stadium board
- Highlight athletes and teams with graphics and media
- Recognize community partners through advertising spots
A Growing Tradition
While unique for Millard, this wasn’t the first time volleyball has moved outdoors. The Battle at Buell became the third event nationwide where ScoreVision has been used to adapt a football stadium into a volleyball venue. Each one has shown what’s possible when schools combine creativity with the right tools.
Community First
The real success of the night wasn’t the technology—it was the people. Fans cheered together from rival schools, athletes played in a spotlight usually reserved for football, and the district showed what can happen when a community rallies around its students.
Looking Ahead
For Millard, Battle at Buell was a celebration of students, schools, and community pride. ScoreVision was honored to play a part in making the vision possible, and we’re excited to see how schools continue to find new ways to bring people together through sports.
