Daktronics Goes Bananas with Installation at Grayson Stadium in Savannah
A new LED display to bring additional fun and opportunities to the Savannah Bananas baseball experience
BROOKINGS, S.D. – Dec. 12, 2024 – The Savannah Bananas are set to expand their baseball experience with the addition of an LED display from Daktronics (NASDAQ-DAKT) of Brookings, South Dakota, at the team’s home venue, Grayson Stadium, in Savannah, Georgia. The displays are being installed this winter to bring new views to Bananas’ fans in 2025.
“For the first time in Bananas history, we will be using Daktronics to add to the Banana Ball experience at Grayson Stadium,” said Savannah Bananas President Jared Orton. “We've loved using this element at our games in the most iconic stadiums across the country and now will be able to bring this to fans in Savannah. This unlocks an entire new level of opportunity for our show.”
Video Display Details
Lighting up the outfield, the Bananas' new display will measure more than 26 feet high by 47 feet wide and will feature a 10-millimeter pixel spacing to bring excellent image clarity and contrast to fans throughout the stadium. The display features industry-leading environmental protection ensuring it operates as expected in the outdoor elements of Georgia.
“The upgrades to Grayson Stadium are going to add to an already electric atmosphere,” said Matt Lundberg, Daktronics sales representative. “Not only are we excited to partner with them and the Savannah Bananas, but I can’t wait to see what their creative crew does with this new equipment!”
The display is capable of variable content zoning allowing it to show one large image or to be divided into multiple zones of content including live video, instant replays, game information and statistics, graphics and animations, and sponsorship messages.
A custom Daktronics control system ties everything together at Grayson Stadium to ensure the Bananas can deliver the intended impact to their audiences.
In addition to the equipment installation, the Bananas will also receive a content package to be produced and delivered by Daktronics Creative Services.
