Virginia Tech Transforms Game-Day Experience with New Daktronics LED Display and Audio Solutions

Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) unveiled a new video board in the end zone of Lane Stadium from Daktronics, a recognized industry leader in digital display and control system technology. The installation brings improved views of live video, replays, stats and more for Hokie fans to enjoy on game day in Blacksburg, Virginia.

The new video display measures 44.5 feet high by 96 feet wide and features 10-millimeter pixel spacing to deliver clear image quality to fans throughout the stadium. The display also includes variable content zoning, allowing Virginia Tech to present one large image or multiple content zones to support game presentation, sponsorship messaging and fan engagement during every moment of the action.

The upgrade also deployed a custom Daktronics audio system, which is integrated into the video and scoring system at Lane Stadium. It is engineered to deliver full-range sound reproduction and high-quality audio throughout the venue while providing a consistent fan experience at every seat. The project also included upgrades to the stadium’s audio infrastructure, delivering unified control and monitoring capabilities to help venue operators efficiently manage and maintain connected sound systems.

The project at Lane Stadium builds on previous technology enhancements at Virginia Tech. Daktronics previously installed LED ribbon boards and field-level displays at the stadium and integrated those displays into the overall experience for each game. In 2025, Daktronics also installed six new LED displays at Cassell Coliseum to support Hokie Athletics and other special events on campus.
