The Philadelphia Eagles are teaming up with Panasonic for help in the video display portion of the team’s two-year, $125 million Lincoln Financial Field revitalization project that began last year.
Panasonic’s involvement will be highlighted by its installation of
two huge end zone video boards totaling more than 9,400 square feet,
which will replace the ones installed when the stadium opened in 2003.
The Eagles said when the project is completed in August, the stadium
will have the highest-definition boards in the National Football League
featuring two 10mm pitch video screens. The north and south boards will
measure approximately 27-feet tall by 192-feet wide and 27-feet tall by
160-feet wide, respectively.
Panasonic will also install a number of video displays in and around
the stadium in time for the upcoming
2014 NFL season. Those will
include:
• One 335-square-foot video display in Headhouse Plaza;
• Two 334-square-foot and two 546-square-foot marquee displays at street level outside the stadium;
• Two video displays measuring approximately 45-feet tall by 18-feet
wide and 15- feet tall by 30-feet wide in the Eagles Nest at the North
end of the stadium;
• 11 fascia-mounted ribbon boards totaling more than 2,000 linear feet; and
• One 390-foot circular ribbon display in the Eagles Nest.
“Our fans deserve the ultimate experience every time they step foot into Lincoln Financial Field,” said Eagles Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie,
in a prepared statement. “One of our top priorities during this
revitalization project was to enhance that experience by providing them
with the highest quality HD video boards and LED ribbon boards.”
Financial terms of the partnership were not disclosed.
Panasonic will become one of the Eagles “founding partners” and will
gain naming rights to the “Panasonic Club,” a 37,000-square-foot space
on the West side of the stadium that serves approximately 3,900 club
seat holders each game.
