The University of Delaware is upgrading video screens that did fit in well the recent Delaware Stadium upgrade.
The University of Delaware has partnered with a Brookings, SD company designing, manufacturing, and installing nearly 3,000 square feet of digital displays at Delaware Stadium and Grant Stadium (soccer) on the Newark campus
Installation of the Daktronics screen will take place in 2022 and the new displays will be operational for sports seasons at both venues.
“We are incredibly excited to install brand new, state-of-the-art video boards at Delaware Stadium and Grant Stadium this fall,” said Chrissi Rawak, director of Intercollegiate Athletics and Recreation Services at the University of Delaware. “We are thrilled to add these digital displays, as we continue to make upgrades across our facilities that will improve the experiences of our fans and other events that take place in these venues.”
At Delaware Stadium, the main end zone video display will measure approximately 40 feet high by 60 feet wide, and the auxiliary display at the other end of the stadium will measure nearly 11 feet high by 18 feet wide.
Similarly, at Grant Stadium a new display at one end of the venue will measure nearly 11 feet high by 24 feet wide. All three of these displays are capable of variable content zoning which allows each to feature one large image or to be divided into multiple zones to show any combination of live video, instant replays, up-to-the-minute data, and relevant information, graphics and animations, and sponsorship messages.
Daktronics will also be including its Show Control solution with this installation. This system provides a combination of display control software, world-class video processing, data integration, and playback hardware that forms a user-friendly production solution.
In addition to the equipment installation, the Blue Hens will also receive a content package that will be produced and delivered by Daktronics Creative Services.
Daktronics has grown with the sports industry from the company’s beginnings in 1968. Today, the company has video display installations at hundreds of colleges and universities across the United States.
