Master P Installs New UNO Jumbotron 20 Years After Katrina Wrecked

Master P is returning the University of New Orleans to its original form bringing a jumbotron back to Lakefront Arena after the original was destroyed in Hurricane Katrina 20 years ago. The rap legend, businessman and UNO's new President of Basketball Operations revealed the scoreboard update on Tuesday days before the Privateers' exhibition game on Saturday against Shaquille O'Neal's Sacramento State. "We got a new jumbotron. Guess why? Me! That's who," Master P said. "I told y'all they couldn't stop us. This is for the culture. This is for the city. When you come to the game, it's gonna be entertaining!" The original scoreboard was destroyed in 2005 when the campus, including Lakefront Arena, suffered significant damage in Hurricane Katrina. The tropical cyclone was the fourth-most intense Atlantic hurricane to hit the U.S. and caused an estimated $125 billion in damage. More than 1,300 lives were lost in the disaster.
