KANSAS CITY, KAN. – The Unified Government of Wyandotte County/Kansas City approved plans Thursday night for a new state-of-the-art video board at CommunityAmerica Ballpark for the 2015 season.
“For the last 12 years the T-Bones have showcased world-class baseball entertainment for residents and visitors to our city,” said Unified Government Mayor/CEO Mark Holland. “The new HD video board is another step in their continued offering of a great, family-friendly entertainment option in our community that all can enjoy. I can’t wait for opening day!”
“It’s been a pleasure to work with city staff, Mayor Holland’s administration and the Board of Commissioners,” said T-Bones president Adam Ehlert. “The cooperative effort reinforces our commitment that T-Bones Baseball is a cornerstone of affordable, family-oriented entertainment in the metropolitan area.”
Daktronics will design, manufacture and install the energy-efficient video board, which will replace the scoreboard that’s been used at CommunityAmerica Ballpark since the stadium opened in 2003.
“This will have a huge, positive impact on our fan experience at the ballpark,” said T-Bones vice president and general manager Chris Browne. “It’s not only a great enhancement to the gameday presentation, but it also provides our partners with an improved platform to get their message across. Our fans are going to love it.”
Construction will begin in February.
