College Park Center Unveils State-of-the-Art Video Board Upgrades

College Park Center at The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) is excited to announce the completion of a major project in partnership with Digital Resources, Inc. (DRI) and UberDisplays, to upgrade the video displays in the 7,000-seat arena. The collaboration utilizes cutting-edge video technology and will provide fans with an enhanced event experience.

The project includes a complete replacement of the arena’s center hung display, corners, and digital under belly, end wall, fascia, stanchion and score table displays. Additionally, new LED displays have been installed on the broadcast table, and three entrance tunnels into the arena floor. Finally, guests will be further drawn into the action with an upgraded LED video wall and new video board marquee outside of the arena.

“As we began looking at ways to enhance the fan experience, we were looking for strategic partners to come along side us,” states Jeff Davis, CVE, executive director of College Park Center.  “We are thrilled to have DRI and UberDisplays involved.  They quickly caught the vision we had in mind, brought some new ideas to the table, and have delivered a project that transforms the experience for our guests and event sponsors.”

The project, which involved a meticulous 6-month design process, followed by 3 weeks of installation, has been met with enthusiasm from all parties. Andrew Rice, Chief Revenue Office for UberDisplays, expressed excitement about the collaboration, stating, "UberDisplays was thrilled for the opportunity to work with Jeff Davis and UTA. The facility and university knew exactly what they wanted from a technology standpoint, which made our job easy. The LED upgrades will give the arena state-of-the-art technology as well as improve fan experience."

The upgraded video boards boast a total of 17,968,896 pixels inside and outside the arena, with over 16 million pixels in the area bowl. Fans will experience an unmatched viewing experience, as the entire bowl features 3.9mm pixel pitch displays, including the center hung display, end wall screens, fascia displays, stanchions, and tables. This sets the arena apart as one of the few in the country to feature this advanced technology in-bowl. Additionally, a 2.9mm lobby video wall will keep guests in the action when walking the arena concourse.

 “As one of a handful of arenas featuring all 3.9mm displays in the arena, our guests will have a new immersive experience, with true high-definition live action and replays,” adds Davis.  “We look forward to showcasing the arena enhancements this year with the start of the WNBA Dallas Wings season.”

The unveiling of these state-of-the-art video board upgrades marks a significant milestone for the arena, as UTA and College Park Center continue to invest in facility improvements with the goal of providing the best atmosphere for concerts, sports, conferences and many other types of events. The enhanced technology promises to elevate the overall experience for fans and performers alike, continuing College Park Center’s mission of being a leader in the industry and helping guests to create a memorable experience.
