Scarlet Knights fans this season are being treated to a state-of-the-art, high definition video display at Rutgers Stadium. Daktronics Inc. recently installed the new HD video display at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey.
Rutgers is currently in the midst of a $102 million expansion of the stadium to increase its seating capacity to 56,000. The LED displays are part of that expansion. Last season, three Daktronics ribbon displays were installed along the fascia of the stadium.
The new HD-X video display in Piscataway, N.J., measures almost 38 feet high by 68 feet wide. The board can show a single high-definition video feed or be divided into multiple zones (windows) to show a wide variety of statistics, information, graphics, animations and video. Two auxiliary 23mm displays are installed at Rutgers Stadium. Each measures approximately 38 feet high by 23 feet wide and will work in conjunction with the HD display to keep Rutgers fans involved in the game with scoring, sponsor and other game-related information.
