Scope of Work: Design, Financial Modeling, Procurement, Construction Oversight. AJP enjoyed working with Loudon Entertainment LLC and The Whitener Company LLC to design, procure and oversee the construction of new age drive-in video board in Loudon, Tennessee. Instead of the traditional screen with projector, the LoCo Drive-In features cutting-edge LED technology that enables both daytime and nighttime viewing capabilities. For sound, visitors can listen outdoors, use a dedicated mobile app, or listen via an FM radio signal in-vehicle. The steel structure holds four speakers in the top enclosure and features internal face illuminated channel cut venue premiere sponsor lettering. The 10mm LED display (63-feet x 35-feet) is surrounded by tiers of decorative tension fabric with aluminum frame cover, and lined color changing RGB LED. Located off busy Interstate I-75 on Highway 72 in Eastern Tennessee, the back of the video board represented an opportunity for advertising and sponsorship. The design involved a backer panel with internally illuminated channel letters and flex face channels for key logos. There is also space for sponsor and advertising opportunities on the front of the structure, below the LED screen. Year-round, the modern drive-in plans to present movies, sporting events, concerts, religious services, and more. www.travelmediapressroom.com THE LOCO DRIVE-IN WILL CONNECT LOUDON COUNTY, TENNESSEE, COMMUNITY WITH YEAR-ROUND ENTERTAINMENT Sporting events, movies, concerts and more expected at new age drive-in theater LOUDON, TENNESSEE—MAY 2021—Loudon Entertainment LLC, in conjunction with The Whitener Company LLC, announces the launch of a new age drive-in theater experience to be built in Loudon, Tennessee, in the near future.
