Potomac Nationals News Release


WOODBRIDGE, VA - The Potomac Nationals came out with their big announcement Sunday night at the 15th-annual Hot Stove Banquet and Silent Auction. Pfitzner Stadium is getting a huge upgrade.

With the help of Communications Engineering, Inc., the P-Nats are replacing their old scoreboard with a brand-new Daktronics video display in left-center field.

"The addition of the new scoreboard will enhance the fan experience in a big way, and not just from a baseball standpoint," Potomac Nationals Vice President/General Manager Jonathan Griffith said.

The new Daktronics video display will be a stunning 13.5 feet high by 35 feet wide. The old line score will be replaced with a new digital LED display. Below the line score will be a fully animated, 4-foot-by-35-foot LED message display. The new board also comes with new DakStats software that will track in-game stats and play-by-play action.

With the new video display, the P-Nats will have the ability to broadcast in-game promotions, crowd shots, instant replays and even movies. The P-Nats will treat their fans to movie night following each Friday home game. There are also many opportunities for sponsorship and advertising on the new scoreboard.
