Insider shared an article in July about the LA Clippers’ Intuit Dome double-sided halo display built by Daktronics. Yesterday Daktronics announced they were selected by Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles to manufacture and install a new center-hung scoreboard: a six-display, 5,500-square-foot configuration featuring 41.7 million pixels that will hang above the action during Los Angeles Lakers, LA Kings and Los Angeles Sparks games, concerts, and the myriad of other live events held at the legendary Southern California venue.
Installation began on Aug. 1 with a crew of more than 60 workers from various contractor and consulting companies and building personnel. The team worked around the clock to meet the Aug. 14 deadline, while accommodating the arena’s busy schedule to allow for two high-profile concert dates.
The new scoreboard will be in place for concerts, live events and as the teams take the court and ice starting in by mid to late August. The upgraded scoreboard will also add to the digital experience, including end wall and ribbon displays provided by Daktronics in 2022.
“We’re elated to unveil a new, state-of-the-art scoreboard with crisp, clear graphics and imagery for our fans to enjoy at Lakers, Kings and LA Sparks games, as well as other live events inside Crypto.com Arena,” said Lee Zeidman, President of Crypto.com Arena, Peacock Theater and L.A. LIVE. “As the arena celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2024, working with Daktronics to showcase this spectacular centerpiece, which will bring our guests even closer to the action, compliments the numerous additional upgrades and technological advances within this historic venue.”
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.
