Daktronics of Brookings, South Dakota, has installed large LED video displays at all three levels of football in 2014. Daktronics has also reached an unprecedented level of professional football orders in a single offseason with eight installations for the 2014 season. This includes two of the world’s largest LED video displays at EverBank Field in Jacksonville, Florida, home of the Jacksonville Jaguars, along with the largest display at the collegiate level for Texas A&M and one of the largest displays at the high school level for Ector County ISD in Texas.
“The unprecedented eight professional level installations in 2014 highlights the battle that every facility is in with the at-home experience, and those venues are providing their fans with everything they can get at home and more when they visit the stadium,” said Daktronics Vice President of Live Events Jay Parker. “Providing large scoreboards at each level of play shows that it’s not just an issue at the professional level. Every venue across the country is trying to improve the game-day experience any way that they can, and we’re proud to help them do so.”
The eight teams receiving new LED products in 2014 include the Arizona Cardinals, Baltimore Ravens, Carolina Panthers, Cleveland Browns, Jacksonville Jaguars, New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers, and San Francisco 49ers.

Combined, these displays will consist of 35.5 million LEDs used to light up the stadium with live video, instant replays, animations and graphics, statistics, sponsor messages, and other game information. Each display features a 13HD pixel layout to provide crisp, clear imagery with wide angle visibility for all fans in attendance.
