Detroit Tigers Unleash Second-Largest Video Display in Baseball from Daktronics
December 15 2023 - 10:00AM
Revamping and replacing a previous installation in Detroit,
Michigan, Daktronics (NASDAQ-DAKT) of Brookings, South Dakota, has
once again partnered with the Detroit Tigers to deliver the
second-largest main video display in baseball’s major leagues at
Comerica Park. Five additional displays will be installed along the
fascia, dugout and line score locations ahead of the 2024 baseball
season.
Outfield Video DisplayThe new second-largest
display in baseball in the United States will replace the current
outfield display at Comerica Park and feature more than 15,000
square feet of digital canvas featuring 14.1 million pixels. The
display itself measures approximately 67 feet high by 185 feet wide
with a lower component measuring nearly 35 feet high by 96 feet
high to create a single outfield display. It features 10-millimeter
pixel spacing to provide Tiger fans with clear imagery at wide
angle visibility for mass appeal inside the stadium.
“Our company takes great pride in providing professional sports
customers with the latest technology and overall digital real
estate to execute their complex and engaging game-day experiences,”
said Daktronics President and CEO Reece Kurtenbach. “This project
for the Detroit Tigers will elevate the atmosphere at Comerica Park
for their fans and we’re thrilled to once again partner with their
team on a sizeable stadium improvement project featuring LED
technology.”
Additional DisplaysTwo ribbon displays will
also be replaced at the ballpark, one along the first baseline and
the other along the third baseline. Each of these will measure
roughly 3.5 feet high by 75 feet wide. They provide the opportunity
to share supplemental graphics to the main display as well as
highlighting sponsors throughout events.
Similarly, long narrow displays will be installed along the
front edge of each dugout roof. These two displays will each
measure more than 0.5 feet high by 92.5 feet wide. They will help
provide branding for the Tigers as well as give additional
recognition to their sponsors and partners during every game.
In the outfield below the main display, a new display will
measure almost 5 feet high by 96 feet wide that will keep fans
informed with instantly delivered pitching data as well as branding
and fan entertainment graphics throughout each game.
The new ribbon boards will feature 10-millimeter pixel spacing
while the dugout displays will feature 6-millimeter pixel
spacing.
The outfield video display is capable of variable content zoning
allowing it to show one large image or multiple zones of content.
These zones can show any combination of live video, instant
replays, up-to-the-minute statistics and game information, graphics
and animations, and sponsorship messages.
