Daktronics of Brookings, South Dakota has partnered with Georgia State University (GSU) to design, manufacture and install a centerhung display system. Installation will take place this summer at Sports Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
“It is an exciting time for us as we work with Daktronics on this new centerhung display,” said Assistant Athletic Director for Facilities and Operations Steve Wojcikowski said. “We have had a great relationship with Daktronics over the years and this new board will allow much more in terms of fan experience in the GSU Sports Arena.”
The centerhung configuration will consist of four main video displays: two measuring approximately 7.5 feet high-by-18.5 feet wide and two measuring about 7.5 feet high-by-11.5 feet wide. All the displays will feature 10 millimeter line spacing and wide-angle visibility ensuring they look great from any seat in the facility. All these video displays are capable of variable content zoning, which allows them to show one large image or to be divided into multiple zones filled with any combination of live video, instant replays, scoring information, up-to-the-minute statistics, sponsor highlights, and crowd-pleasing animations.
“We’re excited to continue our long standing partnership with Georgia State University,” said Daktronics Sales Representative Glen Marts. “This new centerhung display configuration will work with the existing endwall display to increase fan excitement and enhance the overall game-day atmosphere at the Sports Arena. The GSU volleyball and basketball fan experience will be brought to a whole new level.”
