FRESNO, Calif. - One of the first phases of changes coming to Fresno State's Bulldog Stadium and been installed and powered on.
Fresno State's new $892,000 high definition LED video and ribbon boards have been completely installed and late Wednesday electricians gave the board power for the first time.
That started the process of burning in the new board with a multi-color playlist. This allows the newly installed product to acclimate to Fresno's hot weather and will essentially break-in new equipment.
ANC Sports Enterprises, LLC was in charge of the design, construction and installation of the new video and ribbon boards for the north end zone.
The north end zone video screen from ANC, a Learfield company, measures 24 feet high and 66 feet wide for more than 1,596 square feet of active signage. The new video screen is more than double the size of the old display that had been up in Bulldog Stadium since 2006 and is complemented by a new 104-foot LED ribbon board sitting underneath the video board.
The first materials for the new board were delivered to the stadium on June 30 and construction crews began demolition of the old video board on July 7. The entire process of removing the old board and erecting the new one took seven weeks.
During that period, Fresno State has worked closely with ANC officials on the creation of all content for display during games this fall.
The Red Wave can expect to see an enhanced video board show at Bulldog Stadium this fall, complete with expanded highlight packages, multiple replays and new content packages made possible by ANC's award-winning vSOFTTM control system, enabling the displays to feature content separately or to synchronize together. Powered by vSOFT, the displays will segment into different layouts to provide game action, statistical information, out-of-town scores, University branding, interactive crowd animations and sponsor acknowledgements.
