Heinz Field Installing Upgraded LED Video Display For Pittsburgh Steelers
BROOKINGS, S.D. – Aug. 7, 2017 – The Pittsburgh Steelers have continued a partnership with Daktronics (NASDAQ-DAKT) of Brookings, South Dakota, to upgrade the south end zone video display at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Once the installation is complete this summer, the new display will feature a 13HD pixel layout for greater resolution and provide 45% more active displays space to entertain and inform fans and players.
The new 13HD display features the premier technology for large outdoor stadiums. It measures approximately 41 feet high by 123.5 feet wide for a total of 5,050 square feet. It also features exceptional viewing angles with the capacity to produce 281 trillion colors. Industry-leading environmental protection keeps the technology safe from the outdoor elements of nature.
As with all Daktronics' LED video displays, it is capable of variable content zoning which allows it to show one large image or to be divided into multiple zones to show any combination of live video, instant replays, up-to-the-minute statistics, animations, sponsorship messages and much more.
"We greatly value our long-standing partnership with Heinz Field and the Pittsburgh Steelers and are looking forward to continuing our relationship through this upcoming renovation," said Daktronics CEO Reece Kurtenbach. "We are focused on providing the best solutions for our customers at every level of competition and are proud to be installing this LED display for professional football fans in Pittsburgh for the upcoming season."
Daktronics LED video and messaging display technology offers a long lifetime with consistent, industry-leading performance and low power consumption, providing value and excitement for years to come.
