Installation of nearly 9,600 square feet of video display represents a 52% increase for the 2026 season

BROOKINGS, S.D., March 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Daktronics (NASDAQ: DAKT) of Brookings, South Dakota, has partnered with the Arizona Diamondbacks to design, manufacture and install the largest LED video display in Arizona and three ribbon boards at Chase Field in Phoenix ahead of the 2026 baseball season. The video display in center field will total nearly 9,600 square feet of digital canvas, a 52% increase over the previous Daktronics display and top 10 in size at the major league level. The ballpark now has more than 21,000 square feet of digital signage totaling 16.9 million pixels at the Diamondbacks’ disposal to entertain and inform their fans.

“Our goal is always to make Chase Field one of the most exciting places in baseball to watch a game,” said Derrick Hall, D-backs President, CEO & General Partner. “Daktronics brought incredible expertise and innovation to this project, helping us deliver a world-class scoreboard and ribbon board system that will transform how fans experience the game at Chase Field. These new displays are an innovative step forward, building on recent lighting and audio upgrades as we continue enhancing the ballpark for our fans.”

Display Details
The new main video display will measure 63 feet high by 152 feet wide. It features a 10-millimeter pixel spacing to deliver excellent image clarity and contrast to fans in the seating bowl of the stadium. It features variable content zoning to share one large image or multiple zones of content baseball fans expect at every game, including live video, up-to-the-minute statistics, graphics and animations, and sponsorship messages.

“Every moment at the ballpark is a chance to create memories, and we’re honored to help the Diamondbacks make those moments even more unforgettable,” said Jay Parker, Daktronics vice president of Live Events and Spectaculars. “These new displays will bring fans closer to the action, amplify the excitement and turn every play into a shared experience. For decades, the Diamondbacks have trusted Daktronics to deliver technology that performs when it matters most, and that trust is what makes projects like this so special.”

Ribbon Display Details
One ribbon display runs from the right field foul pole to behind home plate to past the left field foul pole and will measure roughly 1141 feet long. An upper ribbon display will measure nearly 984 feet long and a press box ribbon display will measure 232 feet long. All three will measure more than 3.5 feet high.

These three ribbon displays also feature 10-millimeter pixel spacings and offer the ability to highlight sponsors throughout events while also sharing supplemental statistics and game information to the main display.
