“We’re excited about the opportunity to bring a better, more complete in-game experience to our fans,” said team President, Ken Schrom. “The ability to see the game in HD quality will increase the enjoyment from a baseball perspective and on the entertainment side, we’ll be able to better engage fans and sponsors.”

This display will incorporate excellent image clarity and contrast with wide angle visibility to provide fans with high quality game-day presentation sure to enhance their overall experience. The display will also feature multiple levels of protection from the elements in that southeastern Texas climate.

“Daktronics would like to express our gratitude to the Hooks organization for this opportunity to upgrade their video display system.  Patrons at Whataburger Field will experience the latest in viewing experience with live video, replays, real time statistics, crowd prompts and interactive elements. The new display will be among the best in minor league baseball,” said Dan Fjeldheim with Daktronics.

The installation includes a Daktronics fixed-digit scoreboard providing at-bat, ball, strike, out, inning, runs, hits and error information.

In addition to the equipment installation, the Hooks will also receive a bank of hours for the creation of digital content to be produced and delivered by Daktronics Creative Services. This content will consist of any mixture of sponsorship messages, crowd prompts, headshots, game opens and venue announcements at the request of the team.
