Daktronics, a large-screen LED video and digital scoreboard provider, has partnered with the Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC soccer team to design, manufacture and install an audiovisual system at the newly-constructed Weidner Field in Colorado, according to a company press release.
The project was completed in 2021 before the start of the season.
“Weidner Field selected Daktronics because they are the industry leader in stadium digital displays and service, proposed creative budget solutions, and encouraged audio design to consider future slap back from adjacent building facades under construction,” Nick Ragain, Switchbacks FC president, said in the release.
At one end of Weidner Field sits the video display measuring 24 feet high by nearly 35 feet wide. It features a 13HD pixel layout for image clarity and contrast to fans in attendance. The technology features environmental protection to operate efficiently in Colorado’s unique weather.
“We are honored that the Ragain family and the Switchbacks organization have put their trust in, and selected, Daktronics to provide and install the distributed sound system, large video display and pitch perimeter LED systems at the picturesque Weidner Field in downtown Colorado Springs,” Eric Cain, Daktronics sales representative, said in the release. “Now, we look forward to supporting the Switchbacks with world-class customer service and keeping all of their systems operating at the highest level possible for years to come.”
Circling the field, a pitch perimeter display was also installed at the stadium. This display features a 15HD pixel layout and measures approximately 2.5 feet high while reaching 341 feet wide. It can highlight sponsors throughout events and share additional audience-engaging graphics and animations.
An integrated audio system was also installed at Weidner Field to bring full-range sound reproduction while delivering clear speech to fans.
Daktronics will also be including its Show Control solution with this installation. This system provides a combination of display control software, video processing, data integration and playback hardware for production.
Daktronics, established in 1968 in Brookings, South Dakota, provides large-format LED video displays, message displays, scoreboards, digital billboards, audio systems and control systems in sport, business and transportation applications.
