Clemson University, in South Carolina, recently built an athlete centre and new lacrosse field, equipped with an LED video scoreboard from SNA Displays. The new LED videoboard is 20’6″ x 34’8″ (624 x 1,056 pixels) and includes header signage with illuminated 10″ channel lettering.
The expansion was funded in part by the Hear Her Roar campaign, designed to propel the future of women’s athletics at Clemson. Due to this expansion, the women’s lacrosse programme now has its own operations complex and a new 2,000-seat Clemson Lacrosse Stadium. Clemson, a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), is now the only university in the US with facilities dedicated solely to women’s lacrosse.
Owner’s representative and technology consultant Anthony James Partners (AJP) provided design, procurement, and construction administration services for Clemson, selecting SNA Displays to provide 10 mm EMPIRE Exterior video display technology for the LED scoreboard.
“What Clemson has done with the expansion of its women’s athletic facilities is essentially a roadmap for how to reach the best student-athletes in the country,” said AJ Faxel, executive vice president of business development, Anthony James Partners. “The facilities and new stadium are draw-dropping. We were honoured to work with Clemson Athletics to ensure they put a great video product on the field so they could focus on putting the best team on the field.”
Nick Gioia, senior project manager at SNA Displays, added: “It’s a pleasure to be part of the new women’s lacrosse program as SNA Displays coordinated the foundation, steel, and LED on the new video display. Clemson University is starting off their new programme on the right foot by investing not just in cutting-edge technology, but in the tools that will thrill crowds and spur on the athletes.”
