CINCINNATI, May 23, 2012 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- LSI Industries Inc. announced that it is partnering with The University of Arkansas athletic department to provide a new video display to the north end zone scoreboard inside Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium. Built upon LSI's SMARTVISION(R) LED technology, the 16mm video display will be one of the largest in college football, replacing the current board which LSI provided 12 years ago.
Measuring at nearly 38' x 167', nearly doubling the dimensions of the current video board, the new display will give the stadium a true high definition video display area with the actual width exceeding HD resolution. In addition to the video display, the university will receive over 250 linear feet of LSI's 20 mm fascia system for use in the end zones. This complements the fascia LSI manufactured for the University in 2009.
"This project is evidence of LSI's efforts over the past two years to rebuild its marketing and sales organization to support its new, superior video display product offering and is evidence of our commitment to the greater video display market," said Bob Ready, CEO LSI Industries.
"We are excited to begin the installation of a new LSI video display at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium," said Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics, Jeff Long. "The video board plays such an instrumental role in creating an exciting game day atmosphere and helping create a home field advantage. This new larger board utilizes some of the latest technology and will allow us to introduce new interactive features. The board will greatly enhance the game day experience for our fans."
