Daktronics displays shine at Australia’s elite football stadia

With the football world currently focussing on Australia, leading global audio-visual equipment supplier Daktronics Technology has highlighted that five of the nation’s leading rectangular stadia use its displays and technology to enhance the fan experience.

With giant videoboards installed at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium, AAMI in Melbourne, HBF Park in Perth and Sydney’s Allianz and Accor Stadiums, the largest display is the Great Southern Screen at Accor Stadium.

Measuring 10 metres high by 120 meters wide, this is the widest main display at a sports stadium and the largest display in the Southern Hemisphere.

With each of these main displays sharing live video and instant replays of all the exciting action from the pitch, Daktronics technology ensures game information and statistics are shared to keep fans informed and immersed in the action.

Additional ribbon and auxiliary displays will show supplemental graphics and information for a complete game-day experience.

Commenting on the installations, Daktronics Regional Manager, Blair Robertson advises “there’s been a significant amount of investment into these stadiums with these displays wowing the fans and engaging them in the live experience.

“They also provide a large return on investment for sponsors and tournament partners by sharing their branding messages.

“Daktronics LED display technology plays a big part within the facilities and at the live sites to wow the fans.”

The use of giant screens is at the forefront tonight across Australia are being used at live sites to broadcast the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup semi-final between the Matildas and England.
