Partner to enhance the fan experience with a brand new technology experience at Chukchansi Park
In 2022, Visua designed and integrated a full technology renovation focused on enhancing the sound and visual engagement experiences for fans at Chukchansi Park. Five years of planning and four months of execution lead to an enhanced experience for years to come.
Since opening in 2002, Chukchansi Park (home of the Fresno Grizzlies) had only seen one ma- jor technology renovation in its existence. With new MiLB requirements, the videoboard, sound system and standard definition control room needed to be upgraded.
With time being a critical factor, Visua had to work quickly to ensure that all MiLB require- ments were met by opening day. That meant installing a high-resolution, 2,000-square-foot videoboard with over 750,000 pixels in a matter of days. Visua was also responsible for a com- plete overhaul of Fresno’s broadcasting facilities. To give Fresno such state-of-the-art capabili- ties, Visua installed a NewTek Tricaster TC1 production system and a NewTek 3Play 3P2 replay solution into a renovated control room, enabling their production staff to produce games at a sharper and more efficient rate. Visua also installed three BirdDog A200 PTZ cameras, and two JVC GY-HM850 wireless cameras, complete with a Teradek 4K Max wireless receiver and transceiver to enhance the viewing experience for fans both in-house and watching from home. To further enhance the in-house experience, Visua installed 18 LG TVs with SAVI tech- nology in the concession areas, which allows Fresno to have complete control of the content on their menus. Additionally, Visua installed 125 all-weather JBL Speakers to make Fresno one of the premiere auditory experiences in Single-A baseball.
The Fresno Grizzlies knew they needed major technology changes to their ballpark before their upcoming 2022 season, and Visua was the company that was able to integrate those necessary up- grades for them at an affordable price. Every piece of technology that was installed was strategically planned out and implemented for an enjoyable fan experience. Visua was able to modernize the lay- out of Fresno’s stadium to enhance efficiency for staff as well as create a more fan-friendly environ- ment. The videoboard upgrade was beneficial not only for spectators’ viewing pleasure but also for the team’s advertising and display needs. The speaker installation has also had a big impact on all as- pects of the fan and player experiences and improved overall engagement from all in attendance. Visua was able to make sure Fresno met or exceeded all of the MiLB’s new standards in time for opening day.
