METAMORA REDBIRDS FLY INTO FALL SPORTS WITH NEW NEVCO
VIDEO DISPLAY
GREENVILLE, IL, August 9, 2016 - Metamora Township High School in Metamora, Illinois will
experience an enhanced game-day atmosphere at their outdoor stadium with the addition of a
full color LED Video Display from Nevco.
The Redbird's new Video Display will be added and installed above the existing Nevco model
7630 Scoreboard creating a full scoring and video display solution. Metamora's original scoring
structure was built with a temporary, custom sign to stand in place of the video display until key
support groups, like the Athletic Booster Club and Metamora Power Football Club, fundraised
the amount of the video display. "We are a fortunate community to have outstanding support
from parents and community members to help achieve this goal," says Metamora Township
Athletic Director, Jared Hart. "The Clubs worked very hard the last few years to bring this
opportunity to our high school and demonstrates our continued investment in our student
athletes and our students."
The Video Display is 9' tall by 16' wide, and will have the capability to show live play,
sponsorship messages, up to date scoring information, graphic animations and highlights.
Planning is also taking place to integrate the video display at their annual Marching Band Field
competition, Track Meets through their Hy-Tek Meet Management and Flash Timing F.A.T.
System, and Graduation. Not only will athletes and the marching band get to see themselves
on the big screen; students themselves will get to see their work lit up by over 30,000 pixels as
the plan is to interweave the new video display and software operating equipment into the high
school's Digital Video Production and Graphic Arts classes. "What a tremendous opportunity to
provide our Digital Video and Graphic Arts students with hands-on, real world experience while
they're still in high school. School assignments now become tangible and captivate the
attention of thousands of community attendees every home game. And we'll use this
captivated audience to visually communicate key announcements and highlight student
academic achievements," says Hart.
Metamora will fire up the video display and unveil it to the community on their annual
"Emphasis Night" on August 19th where over 350 participating athletes in fall sports will be
recognized along with key community sponsors. Their first home football game on September
2nd, will be unlike any home game before as the 30,000 pixels bring a whole new meaning to
Friday Night Lights.
Metamora Township High School's addition of the video display to the existing Nevco
Scoreboard perfectly demonstrates the versatility of Nevco's products. Nevco's scoreboards
allow customers to upgrade scoring accessories now or in the future. With the end vision in
mind, the Redbirds were able to build their scoring solution one piece at a time and add a new
visual experience to their athletic events and community activities.
