Daktronics announced that the company is partnering with Wake Forest University to create and install a new end zone video display, two side displays and an improved Show Control system at Allegacy Stadium in Winston Salem, North Carolina. The installation is currently in progress and will be completed before the start of the football season.

“We are excited to continue to enhance the Best Fan Experience in North Carolina with upgrades to the Bob McCreary Video Board Honoring Class of 1961,” said Wake Forest’s Vice President and Director of Athletics John Currie. “We are thankful for Bob’s transformational gift that made the first board possible in 2011. We are continually analyzing unique ways to improve both the student-athlete and fan experience.

The main display will be 43 feet high by 90 feet wide and will implement an 8-millimeter pixel spacing. Variability content zoning capabilities allow the solution to display a single image or multiple pieces of content such as replays and live video or statistics and graphics. The two new side LED displays will replace the fixed ad panel, aiming to offer flexibility for advertisements and sponsor highlights through 43 feet by 15.5 feet display boards with 8-millimeter pixel spacing to match the main display. Daktronics environmental protection features aim to provide consistent operations outdoors.

“Working with our partners at Daktronics, this new board will make an impact on our game-day experience, providing added flexibility while also helping us create and share new Demon Deacon memories inside Allegacy Federal Credit Union Stadium, starting September 3 on Opening Night against Akron.”

A complete Show Control solution with Camino will be included, aiming to provide the university with improved display control software, video processing, data integration and playback hardware.

Wake Forest University will also receive a digital content package provided by Daktronics Creative Services along with the displays.

“It’s a privilege to continue our partnership with Wake Forest University on this exciting upgrade at Allegacy Stadium,” said Corey Williams, Daktronics sales representative. “The new video board brings enhanced, dynamic visuals and engaging content to fans, while providing the capability for unique in-game content. We’re proud to help enhance the game-day experience for Wake Forest Football.”
