The Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the future home of NFL American football outfit the Atlanta Falcons and Major League Soccer team Atlanta United, is to feature the largest LED video display in the sporting world.
Manufactured by Daktronics, the 360-degree halo display is currently being installed at the facility and will form part of the stadium’s retractable roof structure. The feature measures 58ft high by 1,075ft in circumference, offering a total of 61,900sq ft of display space.
In addition, Daktronics will install a first-of-its-kind mega column LED display, which will stretch 1010ft from the first concourse level to the roof. Overall, the company will install more than 82,500sq ft of video displays at the stadium, including fascia and auxiliary displays.
Reece Kurtenbach, chief executive of Daktronics, said: “The project is a test of engineering and architecture coordination that showcases our company’s depth and capabilities. Increasingly, there is a desire to move beyond common rectangle shapes and Daktronics has been at the forefront of the creative use of LEDs.
“We are equipped to be a valuable partner with our customers for complete solutions, no matter what their aspirations may be for their venue, their display systems and overall experience for their fans.”
