Brookings, South Dakota-based Daktronics has installed its first 1.9 mm LED video display for long-time customer New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
The installation, which was completed last week, serves as a backdrop for Patriots’ press conferences. The Patriots display measures approximately 5’ high by 10’ wide for nearly 50 sq. ft. of digital display space to highlight sponsors and team-branded content throughout the press conferences. Combining pure color reproduction with the most efficient processing on the market, the Patriots’ new high resolution video display adds dynamic visual engagement to the studio set, producing rich colors and sharp image quality to complement professional-grade broadcast footage.
Mentioning Daktronics long-standing partnership with the Patriots, Jay Parker, Daktronics vice-president of live events, says, “Working with the reigning football champion New England Patriots has been a great experience. This 1.9 mm LED video solution; brings an added level of flexibility to the Patriots’ press conferences and looked great during the first use this past weekend.”
“It’s an incredible new showcase tool for the team and their sponsors,” says Dave D’Amico, Daktronics sales representative on the project. “We have a great, successful partnership with the Patriots and look forward to what the future may bring.”
The new 1.9 mm display joins multiple other installations at Gillette Stadium in 2015, including three large ribbon displays. One ribbon display is located along the eastern seating measuring 3.6’ high by 289’ wide; one is along the western seating measuring 3.6’ high by 287’ wide; and one is along the end zone measuring 3.6’ high by 240’ wide. Other installations include a large video display measuring 7.2’ high by 30’ wide; two smaller video displays measuring 7.2’ high by 14.4’ wide; and another video display measuring 19’ high by 14’ wide. All the displays feature a 15HD line spacing and wide-angle visibility, ensuring they look great from any seat in the stadium.
These video displays are capable of variable content zoning, allowing them to show one large image or divide the screen into multiple zones filled with any combination of live video, instant replays, scoring information, statistics, sponsor highlights and animations.
These displays will join more than 10,000 sq. ft. of previously installed Daktronics display equipment at Gillette Stadium, including the main end zone displays, existing fascia displays and freeform elements covering the stadium identification at each end of the field.
