Samsung Electronics America<\/a> celebrates the Kansas City Current\u2019s successful regular season, capped by securing a postseason appearance and the club\u2019s first-ever home playoff game at CPKC Stadium when the postseason begins in November. Samsung is the Official Display Partner<\/a> for the team\u2019s home at CPKC Stadium, the world\u2019s first stadium purpose-built for a professional women\u2019s sports team. Since the stadium\u2019s historic season opener<\/a>, Samsung displays<\/a> have helped to create a dynamic fan experience befitting a world-class sports team.

From the beginning of the landmark stadium build, the KC Current wanted to engage its fans with a unique, modern venue experience powered by digital storytelling. The team sought a technology partner that would help bring their vision to life and align with their values, particularly in sustainability. Integration and installation partner AmpThink<\/a> recommended Samsung. Samsung\u2019s best-in-class display technology<\/a> and engineering, as well as its commitment to using sustainable, smart packaging and shipping methods<\/a>, made it a strong fit for the KC Current\u2019s goals.<\/p>\n

Today, the 11,500-seat stadium’s ecosystem of Samsung displays<\/a> immerses fans from the moment they arrive through reinforced branding and content. The venue’s centerpiece is a spectacular 75-foot Samsung videoboard that sits against the picturesque backdrop of the Missouri River. When the KC Current takes the field, the videoboard draws attention to each member’s arrival with compelling visual stories. During matches, the display ignites excitement throughout the stands and makes match attendees feel part of the game with replays, fan cams and hype videos.<\/p>\n

Samsung XFB Outdoor LED panels<\/a> lining the perimeter of the field deliver sponsorship messages, inspiring brand affinity among the KC Current’s loyal fans. Samsung TVs and audio systems installed throughout the stadium ensure fans never miss a second of the action on the pitch, even when away from their seat. In keeping with their mutual commitments to sustainability, Samsung displays provide venue operators with multiple built-in modes to help control and reduce energy consumption.<\/p>\n
