Brookings-based Daktronics will build a giant set of video displays for the Los Angeles Angels baseball team next year.

The 14-display set will total more than 23,000 square feet, Daktronics announced Monday morning. The huge right field video display bound for Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California, will be the third largest in Major League Baseball at 9,500 square feet.

That's equal to the size of 890 60-inch televisions.

“We’re excited to continue our long-standing partnership with the Los Angeles Angels for this upcoming stadium-wide installation,” said Daktronics President and CEO Reece Kurtenbach, in a news release. “We’re proud to continue developing the best video solutions for our customers in the world of sports and beyond. Our customers have high expectations for our products and we look forward to meeting and exceeding their expectations for years to come.”

Besides the right field display, the left field display will total 5,488 square feet and two auxiliary displays will total 2,500 square feet. The project will include eight ribbon displays totaling 1,168 feet along the seating areas and a new "Big A Marquee" digital billboard along the adjacent freeway.

The project is an upgrade of Daktronics technology first installed in 2004. The boards will be ready for the 2018 season.



“While putting a perennial contender on the field remains a top priority, the fan experience is very important to Angels Baseball,” said Angels Club President John Carpino. “We believe this investment into Angel Stadium will dramatically enhance the overall experience for our loyal and dedicated fan base, and look forward to unveiling this technology at the start of the 2018 Season.”
