Baltimore Ravens Continue to Enhance Fan Experience at M&T Bank Stadium

ANC Sports Installs Over 750 Feet of Additional LED Signage

Purchase, NY -­ The Baltimore Ravens will debut over 750 feet of new light emitting diode (LED) fascia displays at M&T Bank Stadium for the 2006 National Football League season.

Through a multi-year agreement, ANC Sports Enterprises will provide and operate the SMARTVISION® LED signage for the Ravens. In addition, ANC will create all the graphic content to be displayed on the new and existing LED signage.

The new displays will replace the rotational signage on the first level of fascia, combining with the existing LED signage to create more than 1100 linear feet of full motion video effects. The three-foot high ribbon has viewing angles of 170 degrees horizontally and 90 degrees vertically, offering animated content to every seat in the stadium. The new displays expand the Ravens’ partnership with ANC Sports, which has supplied signage solutions to M&T Bank Stadium since its opening in 1998.

“Over the past eight years, ANC Sports’ signage has helped create one of the most exciting atmospheres in football at M&T Bank Stadium,” said Dennis Mannion, senior vice president, business ventures of the Baltimore Ravens. “The Ravens are committed to providing the best fan experience and we believe expanding our relationship with ANC will create the highest level of emotion during each game.”

In coordination with the Ravens and their sponsors, ANC will design video advertising, animations, team graphics and crowd prompts for display on the new and existing strips of LED ribbon. ANC will operate the LED displays with its revolutionary VisionSOFT operating system, which is the first software available that distributes content with the greatest visual impact through uncompressed video.

ANC’s Data Interface Solution (DIS) will distribute all NFL real-time data feeds to the fascia displays, permitting attending fans to receive statistics such as rushing yards, quarterback ratings, out of town scores, and many other statistical summaries. Additionally, VisionSOFT helps produce revenue potential for the Ravens by allowing ANC to formulate data templates that coordinate statistical information in conjunction with sponsorships, creating attention generating advertising opportunities such as “fantasy stats sponsored by.”

"Since our partnership began with the construction of M&T Bank Stadium in 1998, the Ravens' have demonstrated an exceptional commitment to providing their fans and sponsors with the most rewarding event experience through innovative technology," said Jerry Cifarelli, president of ANC Sports Enterprises. "The new LED fascia system extends one of ANC's longest tenured business relationships and we are excited to continue working with the Ravens' to deliver dynamic in-game visuals to the Baltimore community."

ANC has partnerships with ten NFL teams and stadiums including the Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns, Houston Texans, New York Giants and Jets, Seattle Seahawks, St. Louis Rams, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Washington Redskins.
