GENEVA, Ill. - The Kane County Cougars have partnered with YESCO Electronics for production and installation of the Cougars' new video board at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark. Businesses that are interested in partnering with the Cougars and having their company's name and message associated with the Cougars' new video board are encouraged to call (630) 232-8811 to learn more about marketing opportunities. The Cougars begin their 25th silver anniversary season on Thursday evening, April 9 at 6:30 p.m. against Cedar Rapids.
Since winning the 2014 Midwest League championship last fall, the Cougars have announced partnerships this off-season with Rainbow Play Systems for title sponsorship of the Cougars' new KidZone area and with Mueller, a Chicagoland certified public accounting and business consulting firm, for title sponsorship of the Cougars' new "Strike Zone" seating. Plans continue to move forward with several other aspects of the Cougars' capital improvement projects including the construction of a new permanent music pavilion for concerts and special events, along with a new indoor hitting facility to be used by the Cougars team.
The new video board is a high-resolution video display measuring 20' by 60', more than three times as large as the Cougars' previous video board. The new technologically advanced outdoor LED video board is capable of delivering HD-format video feeds and instant replays as well as sponsor messages and advertising.
"The anticipation towards Opening Night on April 9 only continues to rise with today's announcement of our new video board partnership with YESCO," said Cougars Owner Dr. Bob Froehlich. "This new video board is an extremely important part of our off-season capital improvement projects and demonstrates our continued commitment to provide the best experience possible to everyone associated with Cougars baseball."
"Our agreement to partner with YESCO was largely driven by their unparalleled quality of work with other arenas and stadiums throughout the country," said Cougars Vice President/General Manager Curtis Haug. "Cougars fans will simply be amazed by what they see beginning on Opening Night at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark. Our new state-of-the-art video board will elevate the game experience and serve as a tremendous asset for not only fans, but our marketing partners as well."
"We are very excited to be a part of the video display upgrade at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark," said Chris Olinger, director of live event projects for YESCO Electronics. "This display represents a large leap forward in brightness, clarity, contrast and motion video picture quality. It will really add to the great atmosphere on game day."
The Kane County Cougars, Major League affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks, were named Minor League Baseball's "Team of the Year" in the 2014 MiLBY Awards after winning the 2014 Midwest League Championship. Opening Night is set for Thursday evening, April 9 at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark as the Cougars host Cedar Rapids at 6:30 p.m. Single-game tickets, catered event group outings, season tickets and ticket packages starting at five games, including a "Pick Your Own" plan, are currently on sale by calling (630) 232-8811.
