The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) will house the largest vision boards at an Australian sports stadium when two new, state-of-the-art screens are scheduled for installation in time for the 2013 Boxing Day Test. The new vision boards will be more than double the size of the existing screens.
A tender process saw Daktronics Australia, a leading provider of electronic scoreboards and digital display systems around the world, selected as the supplier for the two vision boards.
“We are excited by the imminent arrival of new vision boards,” said Melbourne Cricket Club CEO Stephen Gough. “Patrons will enjoy a larger screen format, with better technology, that will really enrich the experience of watching sport at the MCG.
“Daktronics has a wealth of international experience installing digital vision boards at some of the best stadiums across the globe and we’re thrilled to have them come on board,” said Mr Gough.
The installation of the new boards will also ensure fans attending the highly anticipated 2015 Cricket World Cup benefit from an improved stadium experience.
“We’re honoured to be selected as the provider of the MCG’s new digital vision boards and look forward to contributing to an improved fan experience at the MCG,” said Daktronics Australia General Manager Blair Robertson.
