CHALLENGES

The Vermont Lake Monsters approached TSE prior to the 2012 season. They were already one of the leading teams in the New-York Penn League, however they were in an old ballpark that lacked any current technology. The ballpark was run by the University of Vermont and was limited to what could be done for interior improvements. 2012 would be the first time audio and video infrastructure changes would be made to the existing facility.

TSE was hired to oversee all aspects of the project to get the most possible within budget. A new video board would be installed along with the controlling software and consulting services needed to maximize revenues. The city was also going through a green movement and wanted to keep the "outdoors" feel of the stadium. The existing structure was made of wood so the high tech board would have to be incorporated without eliminating the rustic feel. With limited space in the production room, there would have to be some shifting to design control systems to fit into the small space.

Since the Lake Monsters did not have a prior video board, TSE would need to consult them on how to sell and monetize while providing new marketing strategies and sponsorship inventory.

SOLUTION

TSE designed the video board RFP that was sent to select companies across the country. After multiple rounds and evaluation, LSI Industries was chosen to install a new 27 ft. x 16 ft. video board on the existing wooden structure in left field. Along with the video board, TSE integrated a new digital production room and TSE GameTime ScriptPRO - a game management solution the Lake Monsters use to build, organize and execute their game day scripts and schedules live and in real-time. The production room includes 2 PC’s and 2 monitors that are used to run ScriptPRO’s GO LIVE along with Sound Director to run the audio. In order to maximize the new equipment and create the ultimate fan experience, TSE worked with the Lake Monsters on designing a new show and trained their employees. New promotions and sponsorship inventory was designed into the show to maximize potential revenue from the new equipment.

After working with TSE on our recent video

board project, I cannot imagine working with

anyone else in the future. From the beginning

planning stages, understanding our budget and

ensuring we got the best product for the money,

to the implementation of the final project, TSE

proved to be an invaluable resource that

oversaw this process in a seamless manner.

Our new video board is a huge addition to our

fan experience, and we owe all of this success to

TSE and the expertise they provided us.
