Fascia and Banners
LED fascia and banner displays as well as curved LED ribbon boards engage fans and provide additional revenue opportunities for advertisers and sponsors. Leading-edge LED display applications feature superior image quality, ultra-high brightness, wide viewing angles and the durability to perform in harsh weather conditions.
Concourse Digital Signage
Display technologies deployed in a stadium’s concourse provide wayfinding and engage fans before they get to their seats. Commercial grade digital displays broadcasting the game in concession areas ensure fans won’t miss a play and contribute to higher concession sales. From high impact LED and LCD video walls to interactive touch solutions, venues have a wide range of options to meet their concourse digital signage needs.
Outdoor Digital Billboards
The fan experience can begin before visitors enter the venue or arena. Outdoor digital billboards can be deployed to greet, engage and inform fans in transit at stadium entrances or in parking lots. Display solutions designed for performance in outdoor environments feature durable construction, ultra-high brightness, wide viewing angles and a range of pixel pitch options for any viewing distance.
Media Columns & Expansive Video Walls
Dramatic LED media columns and large LED video walls—including portrait-orientated applications—heighten the fan experience in the stadium with breathtaking imagery and stunning content. Display technologies featuring ultra-high brightness, wide viewing angles and mounted at elevated vantage points provide optimal visibility to spectators. Stadiums are also turning blank surfaces—such as those on support structures or elevator shaft exteriors—into unique installations that drive interest and excitement. Cutting-edge, modular LED solutions engineered with lightweight and flexible materials can be adapted into complex designs for corner-beveled, curved or column wrap installations.
