“As I’ve toured various stadiums during my time as an owner, I’ve made a list of things I wanted to provide our fans at Rio Tinto Stadium,” said owner Dell Loy Hansen in a statement released by RSL.
“When I saw the Daktronics board at Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco, I said, ‘We want THAT.’ In addition to the wi-fi capability that continues to be such a huge hit with our fans, I know that this giant video board – in full HD – will enhance the experience that everyone who visits Rio Tinto Stadium enjoys.”
The stadium's south end is not expected to be affected by the process.
