Dover, Del. (Sep. 16, 2015) --- The fan experience at Delaware State's Alumni Stadium will soon reach a whole new level. Hornet fans attending this weekend's events at the stadium will be treated to a new state-of-the-art Daktronics multi-media display system, featuring a high definition screen and scoreboard.

The system will be in operation for the Hornets' women's soccer contest against UMBC this Friday (Sep. 18) at 7 p.m.; and for DSU's 2015 football home opener against Chowan University on Saturday at 2 p.m.  

The 18 x 24-foot board's video screen is 360 lines by 480 columns with an innovative pixel arrangement that's designed to “take contrast and color to bold new levels.”

“We are thrilled to partner with Daktronics to bring a new level of fun and excitement for our fans at Alumni Stadium,” said Louis “Skip” Perkins, Delaware State Interim Associate Vice President and Director of Athletics. “In addition to enhancing Hornet sporting events, the multi-media board will allow the university to offer attractions on the big screen for the entire campus community to enjoy.”  

The new multi-media board is the centerpiece of improvements at the stadium this school year. Other upgrades include new screening and signage, along with more diverse food offerings.
