SOUTH Surrey Arena has enhanced its event atmosphere with the installation of state-of-the-art large digital displays. This project, valued at $470,000, is funded and provided by the City of Surrey in an effort to enhance and improve user and spectator experience as well as provide opportunities to elevate local partnership brands and build community.
“The City of Surrey is committed to investing in and improving our recreation facilities to support our community needs,” said Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke on Friday. “The new high-definition digital displays will not only provide a better viewing experience for users and spectators but will also allow for instant video, pregame presentations and interactive content such as shout-outs and greetings.”
The displays will also be a tool to build community among patrons by providing branding and sponsorship opportunities for South Surrey Arena’s user groups like the Semiahmoo Minor Hockey Association and the Surrey Eagles.
“As our home arena, the Surrey Eagles will make good use of the new digital displays at South Surrey Arena,” said Saje Brar, Director of Operations for the Surrey Eagles. “I would like to extend my greatest appreciation for Mayor Locke and the City of Surrey Councillors for their continued belief in our team. Through the help of the city, we now have the opportunity to enhance our game day experience and take this program to a back-to-back championship. The value of now having instant replay and other features makes our game day experience just that much better.”
The new displays are now installed and will be available for use by various programs and special events hosted at the arena.
