SANYO puts 82-inch outdoor LCD in Safeco Field, home of MLB's Seattle Mariners

SANYO Electric Co. and Major League Baseball's Seattle Mariners recently announced that a new, innovative, full-HD, 82-inch LCD, weatherproof "Street Display" has been installed at Safeco Field, home of the Mariners.

Safeco Field houses the world's second largest open/close roof with natural grass and hosts more than 2 million fans per year. The street display being installed in the field today is a combination of SANYO's proprietary waterproofing, dust protection and cooling technology, which can be used outside even while weather happens. The display features high brightness and advanced cooling control mechanisms. Weatherproof monitors will allow the stadium to display contents for ads or public information with clarity and brightness even outdoors, according to SANYO.

"This 82-inch LCD monitor will give us a new way to provide information to our fans at Safeco Field without having to worry about the effects of weather. We are very happy that SANYO chose to make its entrance into the North American digital signage market here at our home ballpark," said Bob Aylward, executive vice president of business operations for the Mariners.
