Each main video display will measure approximately 26 feet high by 34.5 feet wide. Four corner displays will each measure 26 feet high by more than 3 feet wide. Catering to fans sitting closer to the playing surface, four underbelly displays will each measure more than 8 feet high by 23 feet wide.
"UBS Arena will engage visitors at every turn. From the moment they arrive outside, as they enjoy the event and as they prepare to leave, our systems will be part of the experience," said Daktronics President and CEO Reece Kurtenbach. "We're excited to deliver the LED displays for one of the country's premier sports and entertainment venues and are happy to be working with UBS Arena to make this installation a reality. As an American based company, we look forward to the opportunity to support them and this project for years to come."
In the main seating bowl, two ribbon and 14 vomitory displays combine for nearly 2,000 feet in length and three rink side scorer's tables with displays measure 25 feet in length. These displays can share additional statistics and graphics while also providing opportunities to highlight sponsors throughout events.
Seven marquee displays will welcome fans to the arena and begin branding their experience as they arrive while six entrance, lobby, and concourse displays will immerse and engage fans before fans reach their seats. These displays will allow the venue to connect with guests no matter where they are throughout the venue to ensure they are always informed and don't miss a moment of the action.
One additional locker room display will also be installed for team specific uses.
Tying all of the displays together and providing an easy to use solution, Daktronics is installing the company's powerful Show Control solution at UBS Arena.
