October 27, 2022
Mississippi State University has partnered with Daktronics for large LED installations at the Davis Wade football stadium and the Dudy Noble baseball field at Polk-Dement Stadium, according to a press release.
Davis Wade Stadium unveiled two end zone displays, totaling more than 14,000 square feet of LED display space and featuring 10mm pixel spacing, along with four seating fascia LED ribbon displays (three in the north section and one in the west section). Dudy Noble Field installed a seating fascia ribbon display behind home plate with 10mm pixel spacing. Both installations will be managed by the Daktronics Show Control CMS, and the MSU Bulldogs have contracted Daktronics Creative Services for a content package.
"We are pleased to continue our long-standing partnership with Daktronics to enhance the in-venue experience," Rhett Hobart, executive senior associate AD for external affairs at Mississippi State, said in the release. "As we continue to work to provide a pre-eminent experience for students, fans and our teams, the addition of these new displays have provided significant enhancements to our in-venue production."
"These new displays will deliver on the needs for brightness and service aspects that will ultimately help Mississippi State be successful in their entertainment efforts at their facilities," Perry Grave, sales representative at Daktronics, said in the release. "The existing structure was able to be used to give an additional cost savings for the university, something that doesn't go unnoticed in projects of this magnitude. We're excited to be able to meet those needs and to be a part of this exciting project for our long-time partners at Mississippi State."
