Jaguars to Unveil World s Largest Video Boards
23/07/2014
In addition to new video displays and a new two-level plaza area, the featured element of the project that will come to fruition on Saturday is two enormous video boards, spanning 60 feet high and 362 feet long, making them the largest in the world.
To celebrate Saturday's unveiling; the Jaguars will host a friendly soccer match between London-based Fulham Football Club and D.C. United of Major League Soccer, followed by a concert by country music superstar Carrie Underwood.
We are truly excited about Saturday's unveiling because it will give our fans an idea of how great the in-stadium experience will be when the Jaguars take the field here next month and well into the future, Jaguars Owner Shad Khan said. Our vision from the beginning was to make EverBank Field a destination, to give our fans the best game day experience possible, and to keep and attract world-class events to downtown Jacksonville and the surrounding community. I am confident that all of these goals will be met.
It has taken a virtual army of workers and numerous companies to complete the work on time, including Daktronics, Hunt + Elkins, Haskell, Populous and Troika.
I felt early on that we were hiring the best partners to see this project though, and today I know that to be true, Jaguars President Mark Lamping said. We were coordinated and committed, and came in on time and on budget. That doesn't happen without partners like Daktronics, Hunt + Elkins, Haskell, Populous and Troika.
Mayor Alvin Brown and the City Council also deserve our respect and appreciation for their vision and support in this initiative. Without it, this project doesn't happen. And finally, we must thank our fans for inspiring us to be the best sports franchise we can be. I know they'll be blown away by what they see on Saturday and beyond.
Content Strategy and Visual Identity
The Jaguars tapped Hollywood-based Troika (http://www.troika.tv) to help re-imagine the in-stadium experience based on their breadth of entertainment and sports branding expertise and passion for innovation across broadcast television, sports properties, and experiential design.
Troika's Creative Director Seton Kim stated, We set out to create an innovative, entertaining, and immersive environment in the stadium for fans to experience the Jaguars and the NFL like never before. Content and technology are working seamlessly to optimize the fan's live game experience.
The game presentation is driven by a Cinematic Look and intuitive information design. Troika created a dynamic grid with adaptable content zones that delivers the most relevant information to the fan throughout the game. The framework allows partner brands to connect with the team and its fan base through unique storytelling and vibrant messaging - all within a unified Jaguars experience.
Gilbert Haslam, Creative Director Troika Sports, stated, It has been an exciting opportunity to partner with the Jaguars on such a ground-breaking initiative where their vision to deliver something extraordinary and our ability to leverage our expertise was combined to re-set the standards of in-game experience for fans on a whole new scale.
Video boards
The world's largest HD video displays were manufactured and installed by Daktronics (NASDAQ-DAKT) of Brookings, South Dakota.
The Jaguars have done a great job in preparing an exciting unveiling event for the world's largest video displays, Daktronics Vice President of Live Events Jay Parker said. These displays will set a precedent in professional venues in terms of the fan experience and what can be witnessed by going to the stadium. The team can show a never before seen combination of content with essentially three huge HD screens on one massive LED display. It's going to be amazing when they fire them up to host their first home football game.
The two massive end zone displays will each measure 60 feet high by 362 feet wide and feature a 13HD pixel layout. With more than 21,700 square feet of digital canvas, each display is longer than a football field and can feature three full-size HD windows for maximum versatility during any event. A section of 60 feet high by 106 feet wide provides enough real estate for such a feat while also providing an extra 44-foot-wide buffer space for additional graphics, statistics and other content.
The 13HD technology was selected for this installation for many reasons, chief among them being the high brightness that helps overcome the Florida sunlight - especially in the direct sunlight received by the north end zone. The high contrast and wide viewing angles are unmatched in the industry for this type of product, thus providing the outstanding visual impact desired by the Jaguars for their fans.
North end zone plaza
While the 13 new video boards throughout the stadium may get most of the attention, the north end zone plaza area will be a big hit with fans as well. The area includes spa cabanas and party cabanas for parties of 20 to 200 on two levels with all-inclusive food and beverages. The area, which was designed by Populous, also includes video boards, two swim spas, bar rail seating with all-inclusive food and beverages, and men's and women's restrooms. The swim spas measure 12 feet wide by 25 feet long by 3 feet, 5 inches deep and will be staffed by lifeguards.
EverBank Field gates will open on Saturday at 5 p.m. for the 6 p.m. soccer match. The video board unveiling is expected to take place around 8 p.m., follow by Underwood in concert at about 8:30 p.m. The entire event is free for Jaguars season tick
