Daktronics Selected to Install One of the Largest Video Displays in Baseball at Citizens Bank Park, Home of the NL Champion Phillies
February 03 2023 - 3:03PM
When fans come to cheer on the reigning National League Champion
Phillies at Citizens Bank Park for the 2023 season, they will
experience the latest and greatest in high dynamic range (HDR)
video technology, thanks to a massive new video display – one of
the largest in the major leagues – that will be manufactured and
installed by Daktronics (NASDAQ-DAKT) of Brookings, South Dakota.
The new display will be 4K and HDR-capable with an increase of
77% in size over the previous display, which also featured the
latest in technology from Daktronics, a long-time partner of the
Phillies.
“If you thought watching a Phillies home run at Citizens Bank
Park was already fun, wait until you experience it with this new
video board,” said Phillies Executive Vice President David Buck.
“From its sheer magnitude and extraordinary technology to improved
viewing angles and exceptional clarity, our new and enhanced
PhanaVision will make every Phillies big moment even more
electrifying.”
The new structure is currently being installed and will
officially debut at the Phillies Home Opener against the Cincinnati
Reds on Thursday, April 6.
Measuring in at approximately 85 feet high by 151 feet wide, the
new display will deliver nearly 12,900 square feet of digital space
to entertain and engage fans at every game. It features
10-millimeter pixel spacing and industry-leading environmental
protection to bring excellent image clarity and contrast to
audiences at Citizens Bank Park.
The display features all the capabilities fans have come to
expect from outfield video displays. This includes variable content
zoning allowing it to show multiple zones of graphics and
information from live video to instant replays as well as
statistics, game information, animations and sponsorship
messages.
“When baseball returns to Philadelphia on April 6, there will be
a significant ‘wow’ factor added to the game,” said Daktronics Vice
President of Live Events Jay Parker. “The new technology, dramatic
size increase, improved resolution, enhanced viewing angles, and
HDR capability surrounding the Phillies video board will
immediately be noticeable and deliver one of the best experiences
at a major league ballpark. We are thrilled to partner with the NL
Champion Phillies once again, as we install a massive crown jewel
of a ‘supersystem’ of Daktronics displays at Citizens Bank
Park.”
