TOWSON'S TOP 10: TigerVision Makes Debut

TOWSON, Md.­ ? Over the course of the next several weeks, TowsonTigers.com will be counting down the top 10 achievements of Towson University athletic teams and student-athletes in 2008-09, which was another great year for Tiger athletics. Check back each Monday, Wednesday and Friday as we reveal this year's Towson Top Ten.

 

Opening the countdown at the number 10 position on this year's Towson Top 10 is the addition of a new video board and scoreboard system at Johnny Unitas® Stadium. Installed prior to the 2008 Tiger football season, the video board was used at all home games during the 2008-09 football, men's and women's lacrosse, and track and field home events. The scoreboard received its first national exposure when Towson hosted the NCAA Division I Women's Lacrosse Championships in May 2009.  

 

With the addition of TigerVision, Towson University became the first NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) school to feature a high-definition light emitting diode (LED) video and scoring system.

 

The project consisted of installing two new scoreboards on each end of the stadium and building a production control room in the press box to house the equipment and personnel needed to produce the in-game show. Additionally, locker room clocks and delay of game clocks were installed.

 

The video board in the west end of the stadium, is a nearly 45-foot by 60-foot structure which consists of an HD LED video display scoreboard, backlit sponsor displays and backlit identification display. The main board's display measures 17 feet high by 47 feet wide and utilizes the cutting edge Daktronics HD-16 technology.

 

Meanwhile, the east end of the stadium serves as the location for a new 20-foot by 40-foot structure which features an auxiliary scoreboard that displays the time, score and period of the game.

 

The new video board and scoreboard replaced the old scoreboard, which had been in place since prior to the stadium's renovations, which ended in 2002.
