Daktronics of Brookings, South Dakota, has manufactured and installed an LED video board in the outfield of Field of Dreams Ballpark in Dyersville, Iowa. The new facility is adjacent to the famed corn field-framed ballpark from the iconic 1989 movie. Installation was completed this spring ahead of hosting a minor league all-star game and a professional baseball game later in the summer.

“The addition of the Daktronics LED display is another important step in bringing a first-class fan experience to the Field of Dreams Ballpark,” said Tyler Daugherty, ballpark general manager. “Whether we're hosting Northwoods, high school championships, collegiate competition, concerts or professional events, this technology allows us to create memorable moments for every guest while honoring the timeless tradition and magic that make the Field of Dreams so special.”

“Since 1989, the iconic movie site has drawn fans from around the world and a chance to play catch or run the bases,” said Matt Warnke, Daktronics sales representative. “Today, with the new permanent ballpark, it gives baseball fans another opportunity to enjoy the great American pastime. Daktronics is proud to play a small part in what will be an amazing facility.”

Video Display Details
The video display in the outfield measures nearly 30 feet high by 50 feet wide and features a 10-millimeter pixel spacing for excellent image clarity, contrast and viewing angles. The display can show one large image or be divided into zones of content much like a major league production.

The installation includes two pace-of-game clocks and a digital content package to be produced and delivered by Daktronics Creative Services. Altogether, it features everything needed to host contests from the little leagues to the major leagues.

Powering the equipment is the Daktronics Show Control system. This industry-leading control system provides a combination of display control software, world-class video processing, data integration and playback hardware that forms a powerful yet user-friendly production solution.

“This isn’t just another ballpark,” added Daugherty. “This is a place that belongs to all of us – a living testament to why we love this game in the first place. It is for every fan who ever played catch with their father, every child who dreamed of the big leagues, every person who understands that baseball is more than a game.”

Daktronics has grown with the sports industry from the company’s beginning in 1968. Today, the company has integrated LED super systems in more than 50% of all professional sports facilities in the United States and Canada.
