Memphis Grizzlies to boost fan experience with LED video system

August 18, 2017

The NBA's Memphis Grizzlies have partnered with Daktronics to deploy a LED video display system for the FedExForum stadium in Memphis. Daktronics will provide a single screen that will wrap around the corners of the center-hung structure, according to a press release.

The display will measure 16.5 feet high by 156 feet in circumference and will feature 6-millimeter line spacing. Daktronics will also enable content zoning on the display so the team can show different content in different parts of the display. The company will also deploy other displays including:

• Two 360-degree ribbon displays along the upper and lower seating fascia;
• Three tunnel displays and a ticketing display;
• Five scorer's tables and four basket stanchion displays; and
• Two displays mounted under the center-hung structure.

"The innovative new displays bring more visual elements and excitement to all events held at the venue," Andrew Rice, sales representative, Daktronics, said in the release. "Grizzlies owner Robert Pera and Grizzlies management has challenged us to forward-thinkinging with the new center-hung design and Daktronics looks forward to seeing the displays in action at the start of the 2017-2018 season."
