VIDEO BOARD PHOTO GALLERY (10-26)
MOREHEAD, Ky. -- One of the most significant improvements to Morehead State's Johnson Arena is starting to take shape. Representatives from Daktronics, Inc., are on site installing 47-foot video boards on each end of the arena, and the finished project will greatly enhance each fan's experience at MSU basketball games beginning this winter.
The boards, which include a 16x9 video display plus advertising space, are expected to be ready for use by the Eagles' exhibition doubleheader opener on Nov. 3. They will also serve as scoreboards, and the current center-hung scoreboard above the playing court will be removed.
The new displays will allow MSU to greatly enhance its game-day atmosphere. The boards will be able to show highlight videos and sponsor advertisements as well as be utilized as a tool to help fans have a much more interactive experience while supporting the Eagles.
As part of the improvement package, Daktonics is also installing new LED displays on the backboards and new shot clocks above the backboards.
Daktronics, based in Brookings, S.D., is one of the leading manufacturers of video, scoring and timing displays for sports venues in the United States.
