Barco chosen to supply electronic equipment for Montgomery Biscuits
LOGAN, UT – DECEMBER 4, 2003 - Barco is pleased to announce it has been awarded the contract to supply and install video and scoreboard equipment at the new Montgomery Riverwalk Stadium in downtown Montgomery, AL. The new stadium, which will hold 6,000+ fans, will be home to the new Class-AA Affiliate of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, the Montgomery Biscuits. Scheduled to be completed before the team’s inaugural season of April 2004, the ballpark is a strategic element in the effort to revitalize Montgomery’s downtown area.
“Barco offers the quality technology we were looking for,” said Tom Dickson, owner of the Montgomery Biscuits. “This scoreboard and video display will give fans the opportunity to really enjoy the game, while adding to the overall impression of this new ballpark.”
“Video displays bring a whole new dimension of excitement to a baseball game,” said Dave Belding, Vice President of Sales for Barco Sports. “It’s great to see the fans becoming even more involved with what’s happening in the game because of the interaction that video can create.”
“Our team at Barco is very pleased to be involved at Riverwalk Stadium. We know Biscuit fans will love this new display system,” said Jim Weigel, Baseball Sales Manager for Barco Sports. “We’re looking forward to the enthusiastic response on opening day.”
