Following a 12-season absence, Minor League Baseball has returned to Wichita, Kansas. With the relocation of the New Orleans Baby Cakes, the Triple-A affiliate of the Miami Marlins comes to Wichita with a new name—the Wind Surge—and will play their games at a new $90 million stadium. Built at the site where Lawrence-Dumont Stadium formerly stood, the new 10,000-seat Riverfront Stadium was completed in March 2020 and features luxury suites in addition to other amenities.
To drive excitement and engage fans in Riverfront Stadium, outdoor LED video wall technology from Planar and Lighthouse was integrated throughout the ballpark. The installations include a nearly 80-foot-wide, 35-foot-tall outdoor LED scoreboard with a 16mm pixel pitch as well as two 90-foot LED ribbon boards with a 16mm pixel pitch. The LED scoreboard is installed over left field and the two LED ribbon boards are mounted on the stadium’s second level facade, extending down each line above home plate.
