Think about the last time you attended a professional sporting event. What was so memorable about it? The fan energy? The talent on the field? Perhaps you recall a vibe of camaraderie and excitement? Chances are a big part of the atmosphere was fostered by the LED digital displays around the venue.

Professional sports facilities sport some of the largest LED screens in the world. Because these dynamic and eye-catching installations act as showcases of the size and capabilities of LED screens, colleges and high school sports teams alike are beginning to see the opportunities LED screens offer. LED video displays can entertain the audience, serve as a source of revenue, and give fans fantastic close-ups of the games biggest plays.

LED Screens Engage Your Fans

Whether at the professional, collegiate, or high school level, sporting events need to communicate information and provide messaging to their devoted fans and attendees. LED screens are a great way to accomplish this task in a way that is entertaining. They can replay the best plays, maintaining high excitement levels. During timeouts, it’s fun to zoom in on the fans in the stands. Let your attendees have their fifteen minutes of fame. Sell ad space or capitalize on downtime by promoting your own organizations upcoming events on the big screen. All of these unique applications keep your LED screens active—and your audience engaged—from the moment the gates open up to the time they close.

The New (Less Expensive) Normal

LED screens are the new normal for sport venues of all kinds. They offer outlets a unique way to engage and communicate. The best news is that LED screens are far less expensive than they used to be, making budget constraints less of a concern.

Make The Investment

Investing in a new LED screen for your school or university’s arena will create positive returns in audience engagement as well as add a new revenue source to your organization. Why stick with older technologies that are limited in regards to both in-the-moment storytelling and long-term promotional opportunities? In other words, why let the big sports franchises have all the fun?

College sports departments keep building facilities in 2026 even as new revenue remains limited

College sports departments keep building facilities in 2026 even as new revenue remains limited

College athletics departments are keeping facility work moving in 2026 even as most say newer revenue categories remain a small slice of the pie. In Athletic Business’s 2026 State of the Industry survey, 45% of college athletics respondents said a facilities project is underway or will break ground this year, and 83% reported that non-traditional sources such as digital media, corporate partnerships and special events contribute less than 25% of department revenue, according to Athletic Business. Athletic Director U’s Dr. Kevin Blue framed the operational driver behind those numbers as structural, arguing that the non-profit setup of college athletics and zero-sum competition tend to pull spending up toward whatever the highest earners can support. For operators writing specs and signing POs, the near-term takeaway is that capital projects will keep prioritizing systems that can handle multiple event types, reduce maintenance burden and meet safety requirements, even when incremental revenue is uncertain.

  • 01Revenue diversification remains limited: 83% of Athletic Business college respondents said “non-traditional” sources are under 25% of revenue, meaning most budgets still rely on traditional income streams.
  • 02Referee shortages are becoming an operations constraint upstream: Athletic Business found 30% of high school programs canceled games due to officiating shortages, which can change scheduling, staffing and even lighting and PA usage patterns at shared venues.
