August 22 2019 - 10:00AM
Daktronics (NASDAQ-DAKT) of Brookings, South Dakota, partnered with
the Miami Dolphins to design, manufacture and install the longest
continuous LED ribbon display in professional sports measuring
2,105 feet long for Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
Installed this spring, the 360-degree ribbon will integrate with
the existing Daktronics LED video displays in the four corners of
the stadium, two ribbon displays and the exterior video board
marquee to create an entertainment destination for their fans.
Adding to the excitement of the new ribbon display, Hard Rock
Stadium will host the biggest football game of the season February
2, 2020, as well as the college football championship in 2021.
The new ribbon display measures 3.5 feet high by 2,105 feet wide
as it wraps around the entire seating fascia of the facility.
“This new ribbon display completes the fan experience in the
seating bowl at Hard Rock Stadium by surrounding fans in LED lights
to immerse them in the game-day action,” said Kyle Adams,
Daktronics regional sales manager. “We’re thrilled to extend our
long-term partnership with the Miami Dolphins with this
installation as we continually help them to provide their fans with
the best experience at their live events. We look forward to the
success of this installation and our partnership for years to
come.”
Daktronics' history with the Miami Dolphins dates back to 1993
and includes the first High-Definition LED video display installed
in sports in 2006.
