“This upgrade will significantly enhance the guest experience at the Budweiser Events Center, and we can’t wait to unveil the project to the public during the PRCA Rodeo at the Larimer County Fair this weekend,” Herrfeldt said. “We’re grateful for the partnership we have with Spectra Venue Management who assisted in the funding of the largest improvement in the Budweiser Events Center to date.”

The centerhung display configuration includes four main video displays measuring approximately 9.5 feet high and 16.5 feet wide. The main video displays will sport a 10 millimeter line spacing. Wide angle visibility ensures the displays will look great from any seat in the facility. The variable content zoning technology in these displays can be used to show a single large image or to show multiple windows with any combination of live video, instant replays, scoring information, up-to-the-minute statistics, graphics and animations, and sponsor messaging.

A ring display that features a 10 millimeter line spacing and measures approximately 2 feet high and 46 feet wide will be incorporated in the center-hung display configuration. Two large fascia displays with 15 millimeter line space and measuring approximately 2 feet high and 198.5 feet wide will surround the action.

Additional auxiliary displays include an end-wall display measuring 5 feet high and 14.5 feet wide and a mobile display measuring 12.5 feet high and 25 feet wide, each featuring a 10 millimeter line spacing. The installation sports more than 1,000 square feet of display area.

“We appreciate the long relationship we have had with the Budweiser Events Center” said Mark Johnson, Daktronics sales representative. “Replacing the initial Daktronics installation from 2002, this will be a great addition to the entertainment and something the fans will greatly appreciate.”

Daktronics LED video and messaging display technology offers a long lifetime with consistent, industry-leading performance and low power consumption, providing value and excitement for years to come.
