The home of the College World Series installs five new LED displays
BROOKINGS, S.D. – Dec. 10, 2025 – Daktronics (NASDAQ-DAKT) of Brookings, South Dakota, has partnered with Charles Schwab Field Omaha, home of the College World Series, to manufacture and install five LED displays at the ballpark in Nebraska. The installation, including matching outfield displays, a ribbon display and a double-sided marquee display, was completed in the fall of 2025.
“At MECA, the fan experience is of utmost importance to us, and with the most recent updates at Charles Schwab Field Omaha, we’re confident that the hundreds of thousands of college baseball fans that enter through our gates each June will have their game-day experience enhanced immensely,” said Roger Dixon, President and CEO of MECA. “The addition of a left field scoreboard and new right field scoreboard and ribbon display, along with numerous behind-the-scenes upgrades, is yet another example of our commitment to keeping the Men’s College World Series a world-class event that continues to be a bucket list item for college baseball fans.”
Outfield Video Display Details
Gracing left field and right field at the ballpark are two new outfield displays. Each display measures approximately 43.5 feet high by 60 feet wide and are capable of variable content zoning to share a mixture of live video, instant replays, statistics, game information, graphics, animations, sponsorship messages and more.
“Baseball is the great American pastime; thousands of people travel to Omaha each year to watch college baseball’s best compete for a national championship,” said Matt Warnke, Daktronics sales representative. “The addition of all the new display technology, including a second video display in left field and the new ribbon display, will help enhance an already great game-day atmosphere. We are excited to be a small part of the fan experience and look forward to seeing these displays enhance the College World Series and Charles Schwab Field.”
Additional Display Details
Along the seating fascia, a long, narrow ribbon display was installed to share additional statistics, graphics and sponsorship messages throughout events. It measures nearly 4 feet high by 822 feet wide.
Welcoming fans to the ballpark and keeping them informed of future events, a double-sided marquee display was installed outside the venue.
