They say the stars shine brighter in Hollywood and thanks to Samsung Display technology, Hollywood Park will be the brightest of them all. Samsung's outdoor LED products were exclusively used to build SoFi Stadium's 70,000 square-foot dual-sided center-hung videoboard and five levels of fascia display which will be used to elevate the fan experience to unparalleled heights. The state-of-the-art videoboard not only features the most LEDs ever used in a sports or entertainment venue, but also has the first and only 4K end-to-end video production in a stadium.

SoFi Stadium features cutting edge display technology and serves as another example of Samsung's commitment to changing the way fans interact with live sports, says Harry Patz, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Display Division, Samsung Electronics America. We are proud to outfit the stadium with an iconic, first of its kind, double-sided 4K LED display and additional Samsung digital signage technology to ensure that each fan has a unique experience every time they visit Hollywood Park. SoFi Stadium will instantly become one of the NFL's most talked about stadiums and Samsung is honored to be a part of its history from the start.

The Samsung LED technology represented in the videoboard at SoFi Stadium is unlike anything fans have ever experienced, said Jason Gannon, managing director, SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park. The design as well as the boards video and audio capabilities are the first of their kind in sports and will set a new precedent for the in-stadium experience.

Built for the future, the videoboard has the largest LED content playback system ever deployed. With nearly 80 million pixels spaced 8 millimeters from center to center, each panel can be uniquely or congruently programmed with statistics, live and/or animated content. The largest panel is almost 40 feet or four stories tall; its smallest panel is nearly 20 feet or two stories tall. Its unique size and shape make it wider than the field of play and offers fans a spectacular view from anywhere in the stadium, enhancing the action taking place on the field.

The different sizes of the video panels are designed to serve spectators in every seat, from the sideline to the upper deck. Fans sitting in the lower bowl of the stadium will view the inside of the videoboard as it sits directly across from their line of view, while guests in the upper bowl will view the outer panels of the videoboard.

Built into the videoboard is a state-of-the-art JBL audio system with more than 260 of the stadium's total 4,500 loudspeakers. The videoboard sound system accounts for half a million of the 1.3 million watts of Crown Audio amplification in the venue.

This cutting-edge technology within this 298-acre sports and entertainment destination in the heart of Los Angeles will set a new standard for the fan experience. SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park represent the future of sports and live entertainment. Samsung is excited to work with Hollywood Park to enhance, improve and develop dynamic and innovative technology to improve the guest experience for years to come.

As sports and concerts begin to come back, stadiums need to deliver a new kind of experience to their guests every time they step into the venue that provides customers with safety information and overall peace of mind, Brett Unzicker, Vice President, LEES, Display Division, Samsung Electronics America. At Samsung, we understand how using the latest technology in digital signage can help partners like Hollywood Park not only elevate the overall fan experience, but also ensure that safety is top of mind to all.

Additional Samsung technology is represented throughout Hollywood Park, reaching fans across the district's residential, office and retail areas through Hollywood Park's connected mobile app.
