The incoming Lighthouse LED video screen is two-and-one-half times the size of the outgoing board, and will provide the PawSox faithful with a video experience generally reserved for watching Boston Red Sox games on NESN.
"Lighthouse is pleased to be a part of McCoy Stadium's continuing improvements," said Ed Whitaker, Lighthouse N.A.S.A director of sales. "Our LED video technology and experience is a perfect match for the Pawtucket organization's tradition of excellence."
Completely overhauled in 1999, McCoy Stadium is now considered by minor league insiders as perhaps the most fan-friendly minor league park in the country. Lighthouse's new Pi20-FRA 20mm LED video board exemplifies Pawtucket's "fan first" approach by elevating the ballpark experience with 580,000 individual LED lamps on a video screen measuring 11.52m (W) x 6.72m (H), capable of showcasing PawSox and Red Sox highlights, historical video footage, and interactive displays and animations for the players and fans.
