First dual curved-screens in Australian Stadium unveiled at AAMI Park

  • Written by The Times

AAMI Park is proud to unveil the first dual curved screens in an Australian stadium, just in time for its role as the host venue for all six Victorian matches of the highly anticipated FIFA Women's World Cup Australia and New Zealand 2023™.

The screens, already captivating NRL, Super Rugby and A-League fans over the last month, have now positioned AAMI Park in the elite global company of London's Wembley Stadium and the 2022 Super Bowl host, SoFi Stadium in LA, among others that boast curved screens.

The introduction of dual curved screens in an Australian stadium marks a significant milestone in stadium technology and design, offering a wider field of vision, enhancing the visibility of on-field action and ensuring that fans won’t miss a moment, whether it’s a penalty VAR decision or a vital “hand of god” replay.

Leveraging advanced architectural technology, the Melbourne-based team at Cox Architecture worked in close partnership with Daktronics, a world-leading provider of stadium display technology, ensuring that the innovative display modules were flawlessly mapped to the curved structure. As a result, fans can now enjoy an unparalleled level of immersion, feeling intimately connected to the game like never before, as they witness the action on the field.

Alastair Richardson, Director Cox Architecture said “Being able to connect technology to architecture has always been a goal for the design of AAMI Park. This latest innovation providing a 3-dimensional visual experience brings the latest in replay and visual technology to fans, providing them with a technology rich environment to enhance the live event experience. The new screens combined with the unique roof shells and Audio System provides an immersive live event experience unrivalled in Australia, one that will soon showcase the world's best female football players in the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup”.

The dual curved screens exceed the high-definition standard, boasting a pixel resolution of 792 pixels high x 1980 pixels wide and covering an impressive 162 square meters of display area.

As AAMI Park prepares to welcome football enthusiasts from around the world, the unveiling of the curved screen technology represents an important milestone in the upgrades program at the venue, which is being delivered thanks to a $25 million investment by the Victorian Government. In addition to the screens, the upgrades will deliver state-of-the-art sports lights, improved Wi-Fi connectivity and brand new corporate, media and broadcast facilities, ensuring an unforgettable FIFA Women’s World Cup experience for players and fans.

Simon Blakeney, Venue Manager of AAMI Park said, “We are thrilled to be hosting six matches during the upcoming FIFA Women’s World Cup. It will be a culmination of over 5 years of work and the upgrades are going to make an incredible difference to fans, players and the media during the tournament and beyond, and we are excited to see them come to life.”

The stadium's visionary approach to design and technology will set new standards in fan engagement and pave the way for an extraordinary tournament and world-class viewing experience.
