Media Flocks To Mercedes-Benz Stadium

Mercedes-Benz Stadium opened their doors to the media last week Tuesday, August 15, to share the technological aspects of the new venue as well as culinary aspects, club and suite features, and more. As the LED display manufacturer of the Halo, Mega Column, Feather Wall and more, Daktronics had representation at the event.

CEO and President Reece Kurtenbach and National Sales Manager Brent Stevens arrived at the stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, early that morning for a quick briefing on the day’s planned events. They shook hands with many executives and integral people involved with the stadium from the CEO of AMB Group to the stadium’s director of game presentation – a powerful showing of support for the stadium and a project that had been years in the making.

“When you walk into the stadium from the main gate entrance, the first things you see are the Mega Column display and the Feather Wall display,” Brent said remembering his experience. “Then you continue around the corner and see the Halo – it’s truly an impressive entrance to the stadium. It really blows you away.”

Asked about his overall experience that day, Brent said, “It was great to be there to support our customer. The sheer size of the stadium is impressive. It’s going to be a great place to take in a game.”
