"Texas" Sized Scoreboard Unveiled

September 8, 2011 - Atlantic League (AtL)
Sugar Land Space Cowboys News Release


SUGAR LAND, Texas --- The Sugar Land Skeeters released details of the main scoreboards at StarTex Power Field. The scoreboards are being supplied by TS Sports based in Dallas, Texas.

The two main scoreboards will consist of an old-fashioned, manually-operated scoreboard in the left field wall, modeled after the manually-operated scoreboard in Fenway Park's Green Monster, and an eight-story, high-definition video board towering high above center field.

"We wanted to give StarTex Power Field the character that only a manually-operated scoreboard can provide," said Matt O'Brien, Skeeters President. "Not to mention the great summer jobs that it can provide. But, we also wanted to give the ballpark a unique state-of-the-art "Texas sized" high definition video system as well."

Matt Ritter, Vice President of TS Sports stated, "The Skeeters and the City of Sugar Land have a unique vision for the scoreboard and video system at StarTex Power Field. It's our job to make their vision a reality".

The center field video board will soar almost 100 feet above the playing field, and will be one of the largest video boards in the minor leagues. The video board will feature the names and logos of four of the Founding Corporate Partners of the Skeeters: StarTex Power, Memorial Hermann Hospital, Coca-Cola and Republic Services. The video screen will provide replays, highlights, statistics, in-game promotions, and other features during Skeeters games. It is also capable of showing full size movies as well as video during other events at the ballpark.

The two Main Scoreboards, along with two auxiliary color LED displays, a 40 foot long left field color ribbon board, and associated cameras and control equipment are being supplied by Dallas based TS Sports, who were selected by the Skeeters and the City of Sugar Land in August. TS Sports will provide a turnkey system backed by a five-year warranty.
