> I could build them one for a few hundred

No, you couldn’t.

It has to keep working for years/decades, be maintainable, survive bad weather conditions, etc. even if you made the scoreboard out of wood and painted it, it would have to be large enough so that the stadium could see, the paint would fade and it would take weeks to make it, etc.

So rebuild it every time as necessary. It will take a long time to eat into $1MM
