Each year we get calls about showing sporting events on the big screen. If the event is at night we can connect most cable feeds to our projection equipment, but what if its in the day?
Unfortunately the sun is a lot brighter than a projector so there are a couple of choices.
Choice One - DVR and show it at night
Record the big game and show it at night. This was popular during the World Cup with the games being during the day. With social media and media coverage it can be extremely difficult to avoid the result (zip it Bryan).

Choice Two - Find an Indoor Location
This could be a big barn, multipurpose room or other large venue. If the room has windows that can be covered your image will be much brighter.
Choice Three - The Daytime Rear Projection Screen
These look like a large inflatable box, the projector goes inside the large inflatable. The image is projected on a surface viewable from the outside. From the screens I have seen in action these are large (with a fairly small viewable area) and the image seems a little washed out.
Choice four - LED Video Screens
Not the cheapest option but, as of now, the best option for your outdoor event. Multiple LED panels are connected together and, through a signal processor, your image is displayed on the screen.
Through our new friends at Digital Dynamite we now provide this option for Northern California and Southern Oregon (call 1 844 556 6843). Screen sizes start at 10 by 6 foot. They can be scaled in size for your needs. Rental prices start at $2899 for a 10 by 6 foot video wall.
For all options above you need to avoid direct light/sunlight on the screen.
