Displaysolutions from Wuppertal specialises with its LED products in solutions for big sports venues. The new digital solution of the LED sponsors wall immediately enables Bayer 04 to play dynamic and updatable graphic image content and live images as well as pre-produced videos. With an aspect ratio of 4 to 1 it is also possible to show two videos next to each other at any time. As usual, the sponsors can be allocated as required across the whole width. The wall has an overall width of 6 metres with a height of 1.5 metres. That provides a state-of-the-art background.
Markus Breglec, Chief Marketing and Innovation Officer: "With the acquisition of the digital press wall here at Bayer 04 we are taking another important and essential step in the area of future development and digitalisation of our BayArena together with our partners Innlights. The new LED wall makes it possible to play both partner as well as club content with the maximum flexibility and sustainability. We are proud of this transformation and we look forward to optimum use in our future press conferences and other media events."
“Year after year, this is an incredibly valuable gathering, both in terms of the content covered and the opportunity for mutual discussion,” stressed Bayer 04 goalkeeping coach David Thiel in his welcoming address at this year’s goalkeeping coaches’ meeting. This was the third time in four seasons that the event had been held at the BayArena. Organised by the German Football Association (DFB), the meeting brought together goalkeeping coaches from the Bundesliga, Bundesliga 2 and the 3rd division from the west region. For the first time this year, goalkeeping coaches from the youth performance centres (NLZ) were also present. Bayer 04 fitness coach Markus Müller provided fascinating insights into the specific fitness training carried out with the Werkself’s goalkeepers.
