Toronto Blue Jays Improve Home Field Advantage with New LED Displays from Daktronics
April 28 2022 - 11:00AM
As the Toronto Blue Jays move into the 2022 season, they have
improved the home field advantage and game-day experience by
continuing a partnership with Daktronics (NASDAQ-DAKT) of
Brookings, South Dakota, for 10 new LED displays at the Rogers
Centre in Ontario. The total of 14,000+ square feet of displays
combining for more than 11 million LEDS were installed this
offseason, including an HDR-capable main video display.
The new main video display is curved, HDR-capable and measures
approximately 49 feet high by 110.5 feet wide. It is installed in
center field to bring an excellent viewing experience to Blue Jays
fans throughout the stadium. This display features variable content
zoning allowing it to show one large image or multiple zones of
content including any combination of live video, instant replays,
up-to-the-minute statistics and game information, graphics and
animations, and sponsorship messages.
Flanking the main display are four additional LED displays and
content can be coordinated across all five displays for one main
center field viewing experience. Two displays mounted even with the
bottom of the main display measure 15.5 feet high by 75.5 feet wide
and two ribbon-style displays appear to extend out from the middle
of the main display measure nearly 5 feet high by 75.5 feet wide.
All center field displays feature 10-millimeter pixel spacing.
“The new HDR-capable main video display and center field display
configuration at the Rogers Centre will deliver an amazing viewing
experience for the Toronto Blue Jays, their players and fans,” said
Daktronics President and CEO Reece Kurtenbach. “We’re thrilled to
continue our long-standing partnership with the team and to
introduce this cutting-edge technology at their ballpark.”
Additional displays include a main ribbon display installed
along the seating fascia measures 3.5 feet high by 1,324 feet wide
and features 16-millimeter pixel spacing. Two displays near the
foul poles each measure 6 feet high by 32.5 feet wide and, along
the outfield wall, two field-level fence displays each measure 9.5
feet high by 65 feet wide. These four displays feature
10-millimeter pixel spacing.
Coordinated together, all of these displays provide additional
statistics, graphics and sponsorship opportunities to entertain and
engage Blue Jays fans during every game.
