New LED screen set for DW

Post by josie andrews »

Wigan Warriors & Wigan Athletic unveil plans for new wide format 60m2 LED screen.

The screen utilises ADI’s new 10mm pixel pitch stadium LED technology, making it one of the highest resolution stadium screens in the UK.

ADI’s control solution allows the club to deliver a professional matchday experience designed to enhance fan engagement and create value for commercial partners.


Wigan Warriors Rugby League Club and Wigan Athletic FC and are set to install a new 60m2 high resolution LED screen at the DW Stadium towards the end of 2019, approaching the start of the 2020
season. The new display, provided by stadium technology experts, ADI, will be a significant upgrade to the matchday experience.

The large format screen will create an exciting platform through which to connect the clubs, their partners and fans.

The solution delivered by ADI will be used by Super League side, Wigan Warriors, and EFL Championship football team, Wigan Athletic, who share the stadium.

Fans of both sports will now be able to experience fan-rousing content, live match feed and replays on the big screen.

Offering further flexibility for how the two clubs can use the screen to engage and inform fans, ADI will provide pitch side camera infrastructure that can be relayed to the big screen. It means fans can get a different perspective on the match and see interviews from players, managers and pundits live in the stadium.

The screen itself uses ADI’s new 10mm pixel stadium LED technology, which offers better viewing angles and richer contrast compared to more traditional forms of stadium LED. It is one of the highest resolution displays in any UK stadium, giving fans a superior viewing experience.

Warriors Community and Marketing Director, Martin Mcloughlin, said: “We’re delighted to announce this news in conjunction with Wigan Athletic, in what we believe is another example of the town’s teams working together to great effect. Both organisations are laying the foundations at the DW Stadium to evolve the way in which our supporters engage with live sport. So this is great news on the whole.”

Wigan Athletic’s Jonty Castle, Head of Business Development and Customer Experience, commented: “We’re committed to delivering the best possible experience for our fans, which is why we appointed ADI to provide the solution for our new stadium LED screen. They not only offer industry leading display technology, but they really understand how to engage fans through content.

“We’re excited for the start of next season. We’ve got some big ideas for how we can use the screen to bring the club, our fans and our commercial partners all closer together on a matchday.”

ADI’s Client Engagement Manager, Claire Fitzgerald-Firth, added: “The clubs came to us with a clear brief – to deliver a quality stadium display that will help transform the matchday experience. Thanks to our new high resolution LED technology, combined with our understanding of how to use content to engage fans, we really feel we’ve achieved that.”

“Because the DW Stadium is a multi-sport venue, we’ve designed a solution that provides a flexible platform to engage fans of both football and rugby league and we’re looking forward to working with the clubs to help them deliver an exciting matchday experience.”

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Does this mean we have a screen playing the match on none sky games?

Or are we going to have something useful and be hamstung by a tv deal 😂
These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.
