The nights may well be drawing in, but that hasn’t stopped hundreds of thousands of people enjoying outdoor events featuring ADI LED screens over the past few weeks! Here’s a photo round up of a few of them:

Triple Screen BeamBack for Steel City Derby

ADI provided a triple mobile screen solution for Sheffield Wednesday’s beamback at Hillsborough earlier this month.

Wednesday’s away ticket allocation for the local derby match against arch rivals Sheffield United at Bramall Lane had predictably sold out, so the Club contracted ADI to provide a solution to allow fans to enjoy the match from the comfort of their own stands.

The huge rivalry between the clubs saw the beamback draw a massive crowd of 11,000 and pack out the South Stand, giving the Owls the second highest attendance in League 1 that weekend – without the team being present!

ADI provided Wednesday with two of their iCONIC 25 screens, plus an additional iFLY 25.  The three screens were positioned on trackway on the edge of the pitch and in a line facing the crowds in the South Stand.
 
In addition, to add to the occasion, Wednesday produced an official matchday programme - the first in the club’s history for an away fixture - which completely sold out ahead of the pulsating 2-2 derby draw.
 
The whole event was incident-free and Owls fans went home happy following the team’s dramatic comeback in the closing minutes that ensured Gary Megson’s side returned to S6 with a point. Stadium Operations Manager John Rutherford said:  “The beam back was a fantastic occasion and a pleasure to manage. The feedback from those present has been massively positive.”

Screens, Screams, Wii and the Wall of Death - ADI Do the Showmans Show!

It’s been a busy week for our screen rental department at ADI, as we’ve been exhibiting at The Showmans Show down in Newbury.

The show was a great opportunity to show off a few of our iCONIC screens in one location, and our stand included 5 different screens: an iFLY 25, an iCONIC 12 and 15 plus our two newest, high resolution screens, the iCONIC 100+ and 25+.

We had our brand new iCONIC 25+ hooked up to a Nintendo Wii system, and Mario Kart attracted lots of attention from visitors of all ages!  It looked absolutely stunning on the new high resolution 12mm screen on the iCONIC 25+, as you can see from the photos, and you can also check out the video on our YouTube channel here: http://youtu.be/tPgeHY9Sic4?hd=1 

Our stand was right next to the Messhams Wall of Death – one of only two such attractions left in the UK – and our very own Sales Administrator Rachel took a spin on the vertical track atop the handlebars of one of the bikes!  Rather her than me I say…!
 
You can check out some of the skills of the Wall of Death riders on this youtube vid: http://youtu.be/7pLVKmR7XFw?hd=1 

It was great to meet so many of our customers there and to be able to show them a wide range of our screens all in one place, as well as meet many new faces - hopefully we'll see you there next year!
