Bringing new light to the outfield at baseball games in North Carolina, Daktronics has partnered with the Asheville Tourists to manufacture and install an LED video display. The installation took place late in 2025 and is now operational and ready to entertain fans.

“It has been a pleasure working with the staff at Daktronics; their product knowledge and overall professionalism are unmatched,” said Tourists General Manager Larry Hawkins.

“Corey Williams made himself available for questions from the first moment we started discussing a new video board. Zach Illing and the rest of the project team at Daktronics have also been a huge asset. Their willingness to assist with the many variances in incorporating existing equipment along with a new state-of-the-art video board has made the project a great experience. We can’t wait for Asheville Tourists fans to experience the entertainment centrepiece of our renovation.”

Video Display Details

The new outfield display measures 31.5 feet high by nearly 70 feet wide. It features 10-millimeter pixel spacing to deliver dynamic content and vivid imagery to fans throughout the ballpark. It incorporates industry-leading environmental protection, ensuring it operates as expected in the North Carolina outdoors.

“We’re excited to be working again with our long-time partners at the Asheville Tourists,” said Corey Williams, Daktronics sales representative. “The renovation is really going to be great for Tourists fans and we’re honoured to be a part of the overall project.”

The display is capable of variable content zoning, which allows it to show one large image or multiple zones of content. This includes live video, instant replays, up-to-the-minute statistics and game information, and all the other graphics and animations that baseball fans crave. This includes sponsor recognitions and team partner information.

Daktronics is also including a complete Show Control solution. 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.

Included with the equipment installation, the Tourist are also receiving a digital content package to be produced and delivered by Daktronics Creative Services, an in-house, award-winning creative team.
