May 7, 2009 (FinancialWire) — According to Daktronics Inc. (NASDAQ: DAKT), the University of Missouri has chosen it to design, manufacture and install integrated scoring and video display systems at various athletic venues on the Columbia, Mo., campus.

The multi-million dollar upgrades are scheduled to be complete in time for the upcoming sports seasons. Project development and design was achieved through a partnership between University of Missouri — Campus Facilities and leading sports technology consulting firm Wrightson, Johnson, Haddon & Williams, Inc.

Financing for the project was possible from long-time University of Missouri partner Mizzou Sports Properties, a property of Learfield Sports.

Plans include new video display and custom scoreboard at Memorial Stadium/Faurot Field. Daktronics HD-X technology and its control system allow for complete flexibility in programming. Mizzou’s new video board, to measure approximately 30 feet high by 80 feet wide, will be able to serve as a single giant display or be divided into multiple windows to show a wide variety of statistics, information, graphics, animation and live and recorded video. Additional light emitting diode displays will be installed throughout the stadium.

A 14 foot high by 48 foot wide marquee will be installed on the rear of the main structure at Memorial Stadium/Faurot Field. This marquee, also comprised of HD-X LED technology, will be used to promote upcoming campus and athletic events, and to recognize corporate partners of Mizzou Athletics.

The University’s baseball field, Taylor Stadium/Simmons Field, will also receive a new scoreboard and HD-X video display, while track and soccer get a new video and scoring display at the Audrey J. Walton Track - Soccer Stadium.

Daktronics digital scorer’s tables, to be installed at Mizzou Arena, will showcase student-athletes, display real-time stats, recognize sponsors and promote upcoming events.
