SCOREBOARD COMPANY LETS CAT OUT OF BAG FOR FINS
POSTED 10:05 p.m. EDT, April 3, 2006; UPDATED 9:23 a.m. EDT, April 4, 2006

Earlier on Monday night, we reported that the Dolphins will unveil at a Saturday press conference "the creation of a national branding strategy for the stadium and unveil the new stadium logo." We thought it meant that the Fins would be selling the naming rights to Dolpins Stadium.

To the contrary, the Fins are merely changing the name of Dolphins Stadium to . . . Dolphin Stadium.

A reader advises us that the official web site of Daktronics, a South Dakota scoreboard and video display company, describes as one of its recent projects the installation of two large video displays at the venue, with a scheduled completion date of July 2006. In so doing, Daktronics discloses the new name of the stadium, including its new logo.

The broader question, as we see it, is whether the new Dolphin from the stadium logo eventually will replace the team's traditional cartoon-style, helmet-wearing marine mammal on the side of the player helmets.

Given that the team plans to unveil the new name at logo at a presser on Saturday, we have a feeling that owner Wayne Huizenga didn't anticipate that Daktronics would let the cat out of the bag. And we figure that, before too long, the "Recent Projects" link on the left side of the Daktronics site will be tweaked. A little.

(Editor's note: As we expected, Daktronics has removed reference to the Dolphin Stadium project from its web site. It was gone as of 9:20 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, April 4. At 6:45 a.m. EDT on April 4, it was still there.)

So, the big news was the renaming of the stadium to the same name?

...was there a picture of the new logo?

I like the logo.

I don't think it would make a great team logo, but as far as a stadium goes, I think it's very good...and simple.

By the way, the scoreboards work right now.  The Marlins home opener is next week, and the boards will be live for it (as far as I know)...

...and I'll be there, suckers!

I am thinking about going to the fanfest.  It sounds like a watered down web weekend.  I'd definitely go if I didn't have to drive.

They sent me 4 tickets in the mail, but I also got a seperate email invitation from the team, that says that we don't need tickets to get in.  I think it's just for show.

You should have made Brian come pick you up and chauffer you and yours around to reimburse you for the price of his ticket to the event!  Grin
