just got an email stating the new video board will debut on May 24
The Potomac Nationals in Woodbridge, Va., will retrofit an existing scoreboard with a new integrated video and scoring system at Pfitzner Stadium. The equipment will be designed, manufactured and installed by Daktronics Inc. The debut is scheduled for May 24.
“The addition of the new scoreboard will enhance the fan experience in a big way, and not just from a baseball standpoint,” Potomac Nationals Vice President/General Manager Jonathan Griffith said.
A new light emitting diode (LED) video display will measure more than 13 feet high by 35 feet wide and span the entire width of the scoreboard. The video display will be capable of showing live video and instant replays during games, as well as dazzling graphics, custom animations, up-to-the-minute statistics and advertisements.
An LED baseball scoreboard and LED ribbon display will sit below the video display for additional informational and entertaining content for fans. The LED ribbon display will provide more opportunities for sponsor recognition during games.
The video and message displays will incorporate DakStats® software to show current game stats, out-of-town scores and real-time season statistics during every at bat.
“We will work hard to provide the Nationals with quality service as customers of Daktronics,” Arthur Portnoy, Daktronics Sales said. “We’re looking forward to seeing the new system in operation.”
Installation of the new video and message displays will begin Monday, May 17, and is scheduled to be completed by Potomac’s game with Kinston on Monday, May 24. Fans can keep up to date on the installation process via a 24-hour, live streaming Web cam at PotomacNationals.com.
