Daktronics and Ross Video Team Up On Major League Installations

Thursday, July 7th, 2016 [Ottawa, Ontario, Canada] – The Cleveland Indians and Pittsburgh Pirates are bringing innovation to their ballparks to create the best game-day experience possible for their fans.

“These two installations have raised the bar in Major League Baseball venues from a creative, technical and business standpoint,” said Kevin Cottam of Ross Sports Solutions. “Both the Cleveland Indians and Pittsburgh Pirates have amazing game-day presentations, and it was great to be able to work closely with Daktronics to deliver a high-level fan experience as well as exceeding sponsorship goals.”
