MALIBU, California – Pepperdine soccer fans will notice a major improvement at Tari Frahm Rokus Field this fall with the installation of a new Daktronics videoboard.
The new board replaces one that was installed in the early 2000s and allows for an entirely new audiovisual experience at the event. While the previous scoreboard only provided the clock and score, the new board features a 15HD pixel layout that brings clear imagery to videos, replays, statistics, animations and other graphics.
The soccer videoboard measures roughly 15.5 feet high by 27.5 feet wide. A SportSound 500 audio system is integrated into the system that will deliver full-range sound reproduction and will deliver clear, intelligible speech to Wave soccer fans, coaches and student-athletes.
A similar upgrade will be made to the baseball scoreboard at Eddy D. Field Stadium in the spring.
"The addition of new Daktronics video boards at both Tari Frahm Rokus Soccer Field and Eddy D. Field Stadium will significantly improve the game-day experience for our student-athletes and fans," said Pepperdine Director of Athletics Dr. Steve Potts. "As the result of a university-wide fundraising effort and the generous support from so many amazing donors, we are so proud and pleased to enhance our facilities with these new additions. We're thankful for our long association with Daktronics and their partnership on this project."
Daktronics Regional Manager Robin Hall said: "We are grateful to continue a long-lasting relationship with Pepperdine University Athletics. This will be a great addition for the baseball and women's soccer programs, and we are excited to be a part of this upgrade in their student-athlete experience! This technology will add to the beautiful views of these great athletic venues in Malibu, California. We're thrilled to work with Pepperdine University and to see these projects being used for live events in the coming months."
