The system includes four main video displays and two ring displays suspended above the court to keep fans informed and entertained throughout every event.

“Our goal is to continually improve the fan experience here at Mississippi State,” says Scott Wetherbee, MSU senior associate athletic director for external affairs. “With the new technology, the LED video board will enhance our fan experience to all who visit Humphrey Coliseum.”

The four main video displays of the centerhung feature tight 6 millimeter line spacing and measure more than 8’ high by 15.5’ wide. The display incorporates excellent contrast for crisp, clear imagery while providing wide angle visibility to ensure every seat has a great view.

The middle ring display measures 2’ high by more than 66’ wide. The bottom ring display measures 2’ high by more than 62’ wide. Both ring displays will feature 10 millimeter line spacing and provide additional statistics and other game information. They also provide options for sponsors to be highlighted throughout the event or at select moments of the event.
