University of Colorado Bringing Centerhung Displays To Coors Event Center

Daktronics to install rectangle-shaped centerhung this summer

BROOKINGS, S.D. – June 23, 2017 – Daktronics (NASDAQ-DAKT) of Brookings, South Dakota, announces today the University of Colorado has asked the company to design, manufacture and install a rectangle-shaped centerhung system featuring four LED video displays totaling nearly 700 square feet. The installation will be completed this summer and entertaining Buffs fans at Coors Event Center in Boulder, Colorado, this fall.

"We are excited to continue to improve upon the fan experience for all of our events at the Coors Events Center," said Matt Biggers, Chief Marketing Office for the Buffaloes. "These new state-of-the-art video boards will allow our fans to enjoy CU Athletics' events in a whole new way. We are excited to partner with Daktronics to bring the entertainment value to a whole new level for Buffs fans." 

The new centerhung displays will all feature 6-millimeter line spacing with two sideline-facing displays measuring approximately 11.5 feet high by 20 feet wide and baseline-facing displays measuring approximately 8.5 feet high by 14.5 feet wide. Four corner logo signs, two upper "Coors Event Center" signs and two lower "Buffs" signs complete the nearly 14-foot-tall by 31-foot-wide centerhung configuration.

"It has been an honor to work with our friends at CU Boulder to upgrade the technology inside Coors Event Center," said Eric Cain, Daktronics sales representative. "From the early stages of the project, it became clear that CU Athletics is committed to enhancing the experience for Buff fans in the event center, all while continuing to invest in state-of-the-art facilities for their student athletes.

"These four high-resolution video displays – the same technology we installed at the Pepsi Center – will forever change the visual experience for every seat in the building. Thank you to CU for selecting Daktronics as your USA partner. We look forward to serving you for the lifetime of this system."

The LED video displays provide crisp clear imagery to every seat in the area. They are capable of variable content zoning allowing them to show one large image or to be sectioned into multiple windows to show any combination of live video, instant replays, scoring and statistics, graphics and animations, and sponsorship messages.

Daktronics LED video and messaging display technology offers a long lifetime with consistent, industry-leading performance and low power consumption, providing value and excitement for years to come.
