BROOKINGS, S.D. – June 21, 2016 –Betty Engelstad Sioux Center has trusted Daktronics (NASDAQ-DAKT) of Brookings, South Dakota, to design, manufacture and install two new video displays inside the facility. The displays were completed in late May and will be first used this upcoming volleyball season.
"Working with the Daktronics team from start to finish on our new video boards for the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center was a smooth process," said Charlie Muus, director of operations at Ralph Engelstad Arena. "Installation was completed in the scheduled time and we can't wait to use these video boards for the upcoming basketball and volleyball seasons."
Both of the displays measure approximately 9.5 feet high by 20 feet wide with a 6 millimeter line spacing. They provide excellent image clarity and contrast with wide angle visibility to appeal to every seat in the arena. They feature variable content zoning which allows them to show one large image across the entire display or they can be separated into multiple zones to show any combination of live video, instant replays, game stats and prompts, animations, and sponsor advertisements.
"Daktronics is very excited to be able to provide the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center with these two new video displays," said Matt Warnke, Daktronics sales representative. "These new displays will provide fans with an enhanced game-day experience that will last for years to come. We appreciate the trust the facility has put in us once again to deliver a state of the art solution and we look forward to seeing how they enhance the facility this fall."
In addition to the equipment installation, Betty Engelstad Sioux Center will also receive a bank of hours for the creation of digital content to be produced and delivered by Daktronics Creative Services. This content will consist of any mixture of sponsorship messages, crowd prompts, headshots, game opens and venue announcements at the request of the venue.
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.
UND incoming freshman Tyson Jost picked 10th overall by the Avalanche. 2 years max and he's gone. In the meantime I'm going to enjoy watching him and Boeser together this upcoming season
Really, really, really looking forward to Jost & Boeser, just a slight bias being that Jost was drafted by the Avs and Boeser by the Canucks, my two favorite teams.
If Jost can have one, maybe two solid years at UND it will be great. I see him as a bit of Parise, Oshie, Toews, lite.
Looking forward to watching those 2 together on the same line hopefully. As for your 2 favorite teams, they happen to be my 2 most hated teams.
Fair enough, if its any consolation I am a die hard Sioux fan and went to their hockey camp for 4 years when I was in Bantam / Midget, my grandparents still live in Grand Forks, and on and on, so don't worry too much about any NHL favorites.
Not only are the games at the Mooch 90 bucks a pop they require you to buy a 4 game package with purchase. A page right out of Denver's book. Didn't work well for them as Sioux fans still showed up in masses.
Minnesota agreeing to join the B1G was a key to the formation of the conference, and it has blown up in their face. Minneapolis is a huge hub for professionals in the upper-Midwest, and in many ways it has replaced Chicago. They want to see St. Cloud, they want Mankato, and especially UND. Replace them with Ohio St., Penn St., and Michigan St. Great. Let me guess, Arizona St. is going to turn things around.
How Don Lucia still has a job escapes me. He should've been dismissed after the Holy Cross disaster.
The Hockey Prophets spoke to Brock Boeser at the recent National Junior Evaluation Camp. Boeser discussed why he chose North Dakota and why he decided to stay, and what he hopes to achieve over the next year or two.
Check out the interview, and let me know what you think.
