University of Virginia, Daktronics Brighten Davenport Field with Top Ten Largest Video Display in College Baseball

New outfield and backstop displays ready to elevate baseball experience in Virginia

BROOKINGS, S.D. – May 27, 2026 – When Cavaliers baseball fans head to Davenport Field at Disharoon Park this season, they will be greeted by a new LED video display – top ten in size in college baseball – manufactured and installed by Daktronics (NASDAQ: DAKT) of Brookings, South Dakota, in partnership with the University of Virginia (UVA). The installation was completed earlier this year, including a backstop display behind home plate, and is ready to make an impact on live events in Charlottesville, Virginia.

“The new Daktronics video board that was installed this spring has been such an asset to the experience with Disharoon Park,” said UVA Head Baseball Coach Chris Pollard. “It has accentuated the game-day experience for fans and supporters, while also providing important practice functionality day in and day out within our practice setting. Graphics and video really ‘pop’ within the confines of the stadium. This new board has only made one of the best atmospheres in college baseball even better.”

Video Display Details

The new outfield display is the sixth-largest in college baseball and measures 33 feet high by 58 feet wide with the ability to showcase all of the live action, statistics, replays, graphics and more that fans crave at every live sporting event, especially the statistics associated with baseball. It features a 10-millimeter pixel spacing for crisp, clear imagery delivered to fans throughout the stadium. The variable content zoning ability of the display ensures a mix of content needed to produce an informative and engaging experience. 

“Davenport Field at Disharoon Park is an incredible ballpark to watch an elite-level college baseball game,” said Fran Kulas, Daktronics sales representative for Live Events in the mid-Atlantic region. “Seeing this display lit up in person and observing the reactions to it from the dedicated and loyal supporters of the program was a truly special experience. This display is a game-changer for UVA and we’re honored to have partnered with such a special university, athletics department and storied baseball program to create many more unique experiences for years to come.”

Backstop Display Details

Behind home plate, a backstop display brings additional engagement and sponsorship opportunities to UVA baseball. It measures roughly 3 feet high by 11.5 feet wide and features a 4.4-millimeter pixel spacing to ensure excellent image clarity and contrast to every logo, animation and graphics shown.
