Daktronics Build On Game-Day Experience at Petco Park
Daktronics continues working with the San Diego Padres to expand their LED inventory to engage and entertain fans at Petco Park in California. Two tower displays as well as a video wall in the Lexus Club were added to the ballpark ahead of the 2026 season.
“Continuing to improve the in-game experience for our fans is a top priority, and this investment allows us to deliver more dynamic, immersive content throughout Petco Park,” said Padres CEO Erik Greupner. “Partnering with Daktronics ensures we’re using cutting-edge technology to bring the game to life in new ways and elevate every moment at the ballpark.”
“The Padres are an amazing team to work with and we’re proud to continue delivering top-of-the-line LED displays for Petco Park to enhance the game-day experience,” said Robin Hall, Daktronics regional manager. “This new installation provides even more flexibility to the Padres while also ensuring the ability to captivate audiences and create memories for their fans.”
Sacramento Republic reveal 20,000 seater ground at The Railyards
Wilton Rancheria and Sacramento Republic FC have announced that Republic Stadium at The Railyards will be constructed as a 20,000+ seat soccer-first venue, forgoing the original plans to grow through phased expansion. The decision reflects the collective ambition of the club, its tribal ownership, and the Sacramento community — a commitment to build something worthy of the passion this region has long shown for its Indomitable Club.
The announcement builds on the momentum of the stadium’s groundbreaking in August 2025 — the furthest the project had advanced in more than a decade. As construction became a reality, so did the scale of opportunity and Wilton Rancheria’s ability to deliver a stadium that meets the full vision from day one.
“With this stadium, Wilton Rancheria is reclaiming our space and matching the ambition of the region,” said Jesus Tarango, Chairman of Wilton Rancheria. “As a Tribe of firsts, we’re proud to deliver a 20,000+ seat, soccer-first stadium—the largest professional sports and entertainment venue in the region—and a home where community comes together and our collective future takes shape.”
“Building bigger is a catalytic investment in the long-term transformation of downtown Sacramento,” said Chris Franklin, COO for Wilton Rancheria. “Wilton Rancheria is bringing the capital, vision, and execution needed to turn this site into a destination that drives economic impact, community connection, and sustained growth for the entire region.”
“For years, we have known what our fans deserve and what this region is capable of supporting. The response to groundbreaking removed any remaining doubt,” said Republic FC Managing Partner Kevin Nagle. “A 20,000-seat Republic Stadium — with a roof over every seat, safe standing for our supporters, and world-class amenities throughout — is not an overreach. It is exactly the venue Sacramento has earned, and we are proud to deliver it.”
Republic Stadium is designed to set a new standard for the soccer and outdoor entertainment experience in Sacramento. In addition to an expanded capacity, various investments in fan experience and comfort will be elements of a world-class venue. The most prominent feature, as requested by fans, will be the overhead canopy that will provide coverage for every seat. The four massive trusses weighing 3,800 tons – three times the tonnage of the Tower Bridge – across the top of the canopy will become distinct additions to Sacramento’s skyline and be recognizable across sports. The open-air design, featuring perforated cladding and open corner terraces, will allow natural airflow and help fans take advantage of Sacramento’s signature evening cooling, keeping the environment comfortable throughout the summer season.
Fans throughout the venue will benefit from a shaded open-air concourse and a sweeping range of seating products — more than 20 different options — designed to deliver a unique experience for every type of supporter. Safe-standing seating and a dedicated supporters’ plaza will give Sacramento’s most passionate voices a place to gather and charge up the atmosphere of matchday. A new West premium tower and expanded club spaces will offer elevated options for those companies or individuals seeking a luxurious matchday experience.
Preparation work on the site was completed in late 2025. Before the end of April, essential public infrastructure work including streets, utility work, and storm drains, will begin ahead of stadium foundations and then vertical construction. With the addition of the canopy structure and associated investments, construction will continue through 2027, with Republic Stadium on track to open in 2028 as the permanent home of the Indomitable Club and a premier destination for major soccer competitions, concerts, and landmark events in Northern California.
Republic Stadium will serve as the catalyst for a new Sacramento neighbourhood — one that doubles the footprint of downtown, revitalises a site that has sat vacant for half a century, and restores a connection to the ancestral home of Wilton Rancheria.
REPUBLIC STADIUM — KEY DETAILS
- Largest outdoor professional sports and entertainment venue in the Sacramento region: 14 acres, over 500,000 square feet, capacity of 20,000+ for soccer, select sporting events
- Capable of hosting top performing acts and tours with an expanded event capacity of 27,000 for entertainment and special events.
- The stadium will anchor a multi-billion dollar investment into Downtown that will create a new neighborhood – retail, hotel, housing and additional community amenities.
- Over 20 different seating products offering diverse fan experiences, from safe-standing supporters’ sections to a new West premium tower.
- Built with the fans at the center of the design, seats will be as close as league rules allow, the five story seating bowl will create a wall of fans that surrounds the pitch so fans are on top of the action, and twin videoboards that are among the biggest in soccer-first facilities.
Continental Resources secure naming rights for new OKC Arena
The Oklahoma City Thunder and Continental Resources today jointly announced a 15-year naming rights partnership for Continental Coliseum, the new state-of-the-art arena rising in downtown Oklahoma City. Demolition of the site is nearing completion, and the construction team will begin mobilizing soon. Continental Coliseum is targeted to open in late summer 2028, ushering in a new era for sports and entertainment in Oklahoma City. The Thunder will continue to play at Paycom Center until the new venue opens.
“We’re grateful to expand our partnership with Continental Resources and for their belief in our organization and in the future of Oklahoma City,” said Clayton I. Bennett, chairman of the Oklahoma City Thunder. “We really wanted an Oklahoma partner for this transitional moment in the history of our city. We are proud to align with an organization that embodies the resilience, ambition, and spirit that define our state. As a company founded and built in Oklahoma, Continental shares our deep roots and enduring commitment to this state. Continental Coliseum will stand as a lasting symbol of that shared commitment — a place where our fans, our city, and our state unite to create unforgettable moments for generations.”
Headquartered in Oklahoma City, Continental Resources is the largest privately held oil and natural gas producer in the world.
“Continental could not be more proud to partner with the Thunder in this next chapter. The Thunder is a world-class organization that represents the very best of Oklahoma,” said Harold Hamm, founder & chairman emeritus of Continental Resources. “When the Thunder came to Oklahoma City, they changed the way this state saw itself. They proved that even a small market can dream big, compete with anyone, and win with heart and grit. That same spirit has defined Continental from the beginning. We’re proud to call Oklahoma home.”
The new arena name takes effect immediately and will be reflected on current construction fencing, future exterior and interior venue signage throughout the building, and the elevated partnership will include expanded community initiatives focused on advancing literacy and education across Oklahoma. Many of Continental’s existing partnership assets, including the Continental Orb, will continue as well.
“This partnership builds on a strong, long-standing relationship rooted in shared values and a shared vision for Oklahoma City,” said Will Syring, vice president of Corporate Partnerships for the Thunder. "What we’ve accomplished together to date made this a natural next step. This expanded collaboration goes beyond naming rights; it represents a meaningful commitment to community investment, including support for literacy initiatives that will benefit Oklahomans across our state.”
“There are many parallels between the Thunder and Continental Resources - values like fierce competition, innovation, and a relentless commitment to performing at our very best,” said Doug Lawler, president and CEO of Continental Resources. “Both organizations are constantly exploring for the very best talent and creating environments where people can compete, innovate, and win. This elevated partnership with the Thunder is a natural fit, and we look forward to welcoming Oklahomans and visitors from around the world to the Continental Coliseum for many years to come.”
Continental Coliseum will host a variety of events beyond basketball. From top touring artists to family shows to national sporting events, the venue will be a top destination in the region for live experiences.
In December 2023, Oklahoma City voters approved construction of a new, City-owned arena, now named Continental Coliseum. Under the terms of the Thunder’s arena agreement with the City, the team has the ability to negotiate a naming rights agreement. Designed by MANICA Architecture and built by Flintco-Mortenson, Continental Coliseum promises to be one-of-a-kind; unique and transformative for Oklahoma’s capital city and serve as a catalyst for the city’s ongoing economic and cultural renaissance.
“Continental Coliseum is so unique and evokes a sense of pride in the strength and resilience of our community,” Bennett said. “The name represents the spirit of competition and excellence. We're thrilled for the Thunder, Continental Resources, the city, and every citizen who voted yes for the future of Oklahoma City.”
Enhanced Daktronics LED Displays coming to Wrigley Field
Daktronics is bringing bolder, brighter moments to fans at historic Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois, through an LED display refresh. Eight LED displays, totaling more than 8,300 square feet, will bring improved resolution to the ballpark with the Daktronics Renew product line, adding more than 1.4 million LEDs to enhance every moment of a Chicago Cubs game.
“Video boards play a key role in driving fan engagement at the Friendly Confines, and our partnership with Daktronics ensures we continue to raise the bar,” said Cubs Vice President of Content and Production Matt Romito. “With advanced display technology and higher resolution, these upgrades will deliver sharper visuals and real-time content to help amplify the fan experience and energy in the ballpark.”
“The Chicago Cubs trusted us with their initial digital transformation and we’re proud they have continued to put their trust in Daktronics for this next step in their video display presentation at Wrigley Field,” said Daktronics Vice President of Live Events and Spectaculars Jay Parker. “These display upgrades are sure to build on the fantastic game-day experience the Cubs have created in Chicago and will make every moment even more memorable for their fans.”
LED Display Details
While the physical dimensions of the displays remain the same, the resolution improves from a 13HD pixel layout to a 10-millimeter pixel spacing, tripling the amount of pixels per square meter at a lower profile off of the display face for improved viewing angles. This adds 5 million pixels throughout the ballpark for better viewing angles and an overall improved fan experience. Because the size is the same, the existing structure is used, while new video, technology and cabling components are provided to save more than 5 pounds of aluminum per square foot of display.
“Being able to use the existing structure represents a major step forward in overall sustainability practices,” added Parker. “We’re extremely proud to share these sustainability practices with our customers as we continue to improve our products for the future.”
The displays in left and right field, along with two ribbon boards, two upper deck displays and two outfield wall displays, take advantage of this renewable option for LED displays. These will be integrated into the ballpark’s existing display system.
Daktronics has grown with the sports industry from the company’s beginnings 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.

Sisk begins £42M Edgbaston redevelopment
Sisk has been appointed as main contractor to deliver the £42M redevelopment of Edgbaston Stadium in Birmingham. The announcement coincided with the launch of Build UK – Open Doors 2026 at Edgbaston.
Forming part of Edgbaston’s Masterplan, the project will see Sisk undertake the redevelopment of the Raglan and Priory Stands into a new 3,200-seater stand delivering improved spectator facilities, plus a new four-star Radisson RED hotel complete with hospitality boxes and pitch-facing rooms.
The new hotel development is projected to increase Edgbaston’s local community contribution to £40 million per year, rising to more than £70 million in a Cricket World Cup year. It will also create 134 new permanent jobs for people within the local community, adding to the 1,000 full time equivalent roles currently provided by the stadium.
Coinciding with the formal announcement, Open Doors, an annual week-long initiative driven by Build UK, takes visitors behind the scenes of construction sites across the UK to showcase the range of careers available in the construction industry. Around 240 construction workplaces across the UK, including Edgbaston Stadium, open their doors to the next generation of the construction workforce, as Open Doors 2026 gets underway.
Currently, the construction industry needs to recruit around 48,000 extra workers a year to meet demand meaning initiatives like Open Doors more important than ever, with 88% of visitors in 2025 confirming they were more likely to consider a construction career after their visit.
Completion of the stadium redevelopment is forecast in time for the Men’s Ashes in Summer 2027.
Paul Brown, CEO, Sisk and Chair, Build UK said: “We are proud to be selected as main contractor as part of the Edgbaston masterplan and to continue growing our footprint in the West Midlands. As Chair of Build UK, it is also a fitting venue to launch Open Doors 2026. This annual initiative enables the entire sector to influence younger audiences to consider careers in our industry. Projects of this profile are a great way to demonstrate the career opportunities that exist within the built environment.”
Ger Hayes, MD, Sisk said: “Our construction works will see the Raglan and Priory Stands redeveloped into a new 3,200-seater stand delivering improved spectator facilities, and a new four-star Radisson RED hotel complete with hospitality boxes and pitch-facing rooms in time for the Ashes in 2027.”
Stuart Cain, Chief Executive at Warwickshire County Cricket Club, said: “The next stage of our masterplan project will help cement our city as a world class sporting and tourism hub.
“Sisk has an excellent track record of delivering high-quality sporting developments such as the Etihad Stadium north stand expansion, and West Midlands-based projects like Great Charles Street in the Jewellery Quarter. Major projects like these make it the ideal delivery partner for the next stage of our masterplan project. We’re looking forward to working alongside the SISK team to have the hotel and redeveloped stands ready for the Men’s Ashes in summer 2027.”
Jo Fautley, Deputy Chief Executive, Build UK said: “Construction is at the heart of the Government’s plans for economic growth and projects like Edgbaston offer so much to their local community. I was delighted to join the Sisk team at the historic stadium with my 9-year-old son as part of Open Doors 2026, which will see events taking place at sites across the country this week to showcase careers in construction. By giving young people the opportunity to see first-hand what our industry has to offer, we can inspire the next generation on their journey from education to employment.”
Daktronics install Arizona's largest LED display at Chase Field
Daktronics has partnered with the Arizona Diamondbacks to design, manufacture and install the largest LED video display in Arizona and three ribbon boards at Chase Field in Phoenix ahead of the 2026 baseball season. The video display in center field will total nearly 9,600 square feet of digital canvas, a 52% increase over the previous Daktronics display and top 10 in size at the major league level. The ballpark now has more than 21,000 square feet of digital signage totaling 16.9 million pixels at the Diamondbacks’ disposal to entertain and inform their fans.
“Our goal is always to make Chase Field one of the most exciting places in baseball to watch a game,” said Derrick Hall, D-backs President, CEO & General Partner. “Daktronics brought incredible expertise and innovation to this project, helping us deliver a world-class scoreboard and ribbon board system that will transform how fans experience the game at Chase Field. These new displays are an innovative step forward, building on recent lighting and audio upgrades as we continue enhancing the ballpark for our fans.”
Display Details
The new main video display will measure 63 feet high by 152 feet wide. It features a 10-millimeter pixel spacing to deliver excellent image clarity and contrast to fans in the seating bowl of the stadium. It features variable content zoning to share one large image or multiple zones of content baseball fans expect at every game, including live video, up-to-the-minute statistics, graphics and animations, and sponsorship messages.
“Every moment at the ballpark is a chance to create memories, and we’re honored to help the Diamondbacks make those moments even more unforgettable,” said Jay Parker, Daktronics vice president of Live Events and Spectaculars. “These new displays will bring fans closer to the action, amplify the excitement and turn every play into a shared experience. For decades, the Diamondbacks have trusted Daktronics to deliver technology that performs when it matters most, and that trust is what makes projects like this so special.”
Ribbon Display Details
One ribbon display runs from the right field foul pole to behind home plate to past the left field foul pole and will measure roughly 1141 feet long. An upper ribbon display will measure nearly 984 feet long and a press box ribbon display will measure 232 feet long. All three will measure more than 3.5 feet high.
These three ribbon displays also feature 10-millimeter pixel spacings and offer the ability to highlight sponsors throughout events while also sharing supplemental statistics and game information to the main display.

The 2026 FA Community Shield will be played at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on Sunday 16 August.
The ‘curtain raiser’ for the new football season is traditionally played on the weekend before the Premier League begins.

Further details about the 2026 FA Community Shield, which sees the winner of the Emirates FA Cup take on the Premier League champions, will be announced at the earliest possible opportunity following the conclusion of the 2025-26 football season.
Euroleague Basketball partner with Coca-Cola
Euroleague Basketball and The Coca-Cola Company have announced a new multi-season global partnership that will see Sprite become an Official Partner of the EuroLeague, starting from the 2026-27 season, with Sprite set to appear during the highly anticipated 2026 EuroLeague Final Four Athens presented by Etihad.
The agreement marks Sprite's first partnership within Europe’s premier basketball competition and brings one of the world’s most iconic brands in the sport into the heart of the European game at a time when the sport is growing rapidly across the region.
Basketball has long been central to Sprite’s DNA, with both Sprite and Basketball sitting at the intersection of street culture. For decades, Sprite has shaped how fans connect through the culture surrounding the game, spanning sport, music, fashion and self-expression. Through this ground-breaking new partnership, Sprite will bring that legacy into a new chapter in Europe, creating fresh ways for fans to engage with the EuroLeague.
“Basketball is more than a sport. It’s a powerful force in culture, shaping how people connect through music, style, self-expression and community” said Michael Willeke, Vice President, Marketing – Sparkling Flavors Europe at The Coca-Cola Company. “Sprite has always stood for fresh perspectives, and we see basketball as a space where culture isn’t just consumed, it’s co‑created. Through our partnership with Euroleague Basketball, we will celebrate the voices, creators and communities that unlock fresh energy, new connections and experiences keeping basketball culture moving forward.”
As part of the partnership, Sprite and Euroleague Basketball are exploring a series of premium, access-driven fan experiences that bring supporters across Europe closer to the heart of the game. These include opportunities to meet current and former players and engage with the EuroLeague trophy, gain behind-the-scenes access to team environments, and experience the competition from unique vantage points typically reserved for insiders.
This relationship aligns with Euroleague Basketball’s commercial strategy, which focuses on strengthening partnerships with top-tier brands that share the organization’s pan-European identity and global reach.
“This partnership with Sprite represents an exciting milestone for Euroleague Basketball,” said Gawain Davies, Euroleague Basketball Chief Commercial Officer. “Partnering with one of the world’s most iconic brands reinforces the global appeal of the EuroLeague and reflects our commitment to collaborating with partners that share our ambition to continue growing the competition. Together, we look forward to creating memorable experiences for fans across Europe and beyond.”
The collaboration will leverage EuroLeague expansive digital ecosystem, offering Sprite’s unparalleled visibility and engagement opportunities across multiple platforms. It will also feature in-venue channels, including on-court branding and in-arena advertising, bringing the brand into arenas across Europe, starting with the EuroLeague Final Four in Athens this May.
Together, Sprite and the EuroLeague will create fresh new ways for fans across Europe to experience the game and the culture around it.
VITEC upgrade signage and IPTV for Meydan Racecourse
Meydan Racecourse in Dubai is a world-renowned venue, home to the Dubai World Cup and a centerpiece of the region’s sporting and hospitality scene. With an 80,000-seat grandstand, luxury suites, restaurants, and a five-star hotel, Meydan required state-of-the-art media delivery system to enhance the guest experience, deliver low latency video streams, and maximize sponsor engagement. VITEC’s IPTV and digital signage platform was chosen to deliver broadcast-quality video and dynamic content across this iconic venue.
The Client
Meydan Racecourse is globally recognized for hosting prestigious international horse racing and entertainment events. Its scale and reputation demand world-class technology and guest services. To maintain its leadership in the competitive sports and hospitality sector, Meydan continually invests in innovative infrastructure and technology.
The Challenge
The project presented several challenges. Meydan’s vast infrastructure spans multiple zones, each with unique requirements, from VIP suites needing 4K video and personalized content, to public concourses and hospitality areas requiring robust live feeds and dynamic signage. The existing media systems were outdated and lacked the flexibility, reliability, and performance needed for modern, high-profile events. Managing content across hundreds of screens was time-consuming and inefficient, and the venue needed a platform to deliver impactful, targeted messaging for sponsors. In live horse racing, even a one-second delay can disrupt the immersive experience for guests and bettors, making ultra-low latency a critical requirement.
The Solution
VITEC deployed its award-winning IPTV & Digital Signage Platform, tailored to Meydan’s demanding requirements. The solution featured MGW Diamond encoders, which deliver sub-second latency using advanced HEVC (H.265) and H.264 compression, ensuring real-time, broadcast-quality video throughout the venue. SDI feeds are encoded from professional broadcast cameras used around the track. Over 600 VITEC 4K Digital Signage Players were installed, providing silent, fanless, hardware-based endpoints for seamless 4K playback and dynamic signage overlays.
The VITEC platform enabled zone-based content distribution, real-time monitoring, and role-based access control, all managed from a single web-based dashboard. The integrated CMS allows for scheduled promotional content, sponsor ads, event schedules, safety messages, and emergency overrides. Multicast streaming and VLAN segmentation ensured efficient bandwidth usage and reliable content delivery without impacting other venue operations. VITEC also conducted a thorough site assessment to integrate with Meydan’s existing infrastructure, minimizing disruption and ensuring compatibility.
The Results
The transformation has been significant. Guests now enjoy immersive, real-time race coverage and engaging digital signage throughout the venue. VIP suites, restaurants, and public areas benefit from high-quality, synchronized content. Sponsors report improved visibility and audience interaction, with the ability to deliver animated, interactive, and time-sensitive content at key moments. This centralized management has streamlined workflows and improved reliability, while real-time diagnostics allow technical staff to quickly resolve issues. Since deployment, Meydan has seen improvements to its metrics since the system went live, including increased screen uptime, reduced latency complaints, higher sponsor engagement, operational time savings, and enhanced guest satisfaction.
“Our vision at Meydan has always been to set the standard for world-class sporting and entertainment experiences,” says Ahmad Bsat, Business Development Manager at VITEC. “Partnering with Meydan has enabled us to deliver live content and information to every corner of our venue, ensuring that every guest, whether in a private suite or the grandstand, enjoys an unforgettable race day.”
River Plate secure financing of $100 million for stadium work
Club Atlético River Plate has secured approval for international financing of up to US$100,000,000 aimed at developing social, educational, and sports infrastructure, as well as the expansion and renovation works of the Estadio Más Monumental.
The financing will be structured jointly with BID Invest—the private sector financing arm of the Inter-American Development Bank Group (IDB Group)—and the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean (CAF), the region's leading multilateral credit institutions for development. Both institutions will contribute equally to the total financing amount. The project will support the expansion of the new building for the Instituto River Plate and the Casa River youth residence.
The stadium expansion will help improve attendee comfort, increase and diversify revenue sources, boost capacity for events, reduce noise, and enhance year-round usage. The Club will allocate at least 25% of the additional revenue from the stadium expansion to additional scholarships and the development of further sports and social infrastructure through the Social Reinvestment Fund.
In Latin America and the Caribbean, soccer is a powerful unifying force and a tool for social integration and transformation. Investments in sports clubs whose activities extend beyond professional sports to include amateur sports and community initiatives can generate significant social benefits. Investments in sports and cultural infrastructure can stimulate economic activity in the project's area of influence.
The commercial revenues from this project are contractually linked to education, scholarships, women's sports, and community infrastructure. Through the stadium's expansion and modernisation, the goal is to generate new private revenues that will be partially allocated—via a contractual framework—to educational programs, social inclusion, and community development.
This initiative, driven in partnership with CAF and IDB Invest, does not target financing for sports performance but rather aims to consolidate a sustainable model in which the club's activities directly contribute to social objectives.
The financing features a total term of 10 years, including a three-year grace period, allowing the Club to begin repaying the loan once the project starts generating the anticipated resources. In this regard, the repayment structure is based on the incremental revenues from the Estadio expansion—both through ticketing and new commercial agreements tied to the increased capacity and infrastructure improvements—as well as the concerts contract and naming rights.
Financially, the loan is denominated in dollars and referenced to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR)—the short-term interest rate published by the United States Federal Reserve—plus a preferential margin aligned with market conditions, a milestone that reflects the confidence in and financial strength of our institution. The approval of this financing is the result of months of effort, during which the Club underwent a thorough analysis and due diligence process by both entities.
As a nonprofit civil association with over 350,000 members and an extensive network of educational and social programs—including Casa River, the Colegio River, and the Fundación River—the club already maintains a robust ecosystem of impact on youth and vulnerable communities. From a financial perspective, the operation introduces long-term conditions and discipline mechanisms unavailable in the local market.
The initiative is expected to create jobs, boost local economic activity, and expand access to educational and sports opportunities. Overall, the project seeks to demonstrate that sports institutions can serve as effective vehicles for sustainable and replicable development in Latin America. This achievement not only ensures progress on a strategic project for institutional growth but also positions River Plate as a benchmark in management, transparency, and access to international financing within the sports world.
