TESTIMONIALS

  • “The relationship with AJP was fundamental to help us through the multi-year process, navigating vendors, contractors, bidding, pricing, and dealing with challenges that come up along the way. It was comforting to have a team of professionals in our corner representing our interests along the way, so we could focus on the other day-to-day work that doesn’t stop during upgrades and construction projects like this. We look forward to using AJP’s services as we move through the rest of the stadium renovations in the next couple of offseasons.”

    Mike Christiansen, Director, Technical Production and Broadcast Services, Toronto Blue Jays

  • “Memorial Stadium is an iconic venue with a deep history dating back more than 125 years, and we have loyal fans that take our traditions very seriously. It was imperative that any renovations being made to the stadium are state-of-the-art, yet don’t stray too far from our roots. Anthony James Partners worked closely with us to come up with a solution that met our needs, taking that sensitivity about tradition into consideration, while also delivering a first-class AV technology design that is sure to appease our fans. From the larger-than-life scoreboard and our famous roaring/clawing tiger to a booming sound system, Anthony James Partners delivered in every way.”

    Eric Sabin, Associate Athletic Director – Capital Projects, Clemson University

  • “AJP has been a valued partner on several large technology projects at the Marriott Center and LaVell Edwards Stadium, including the acquisition of a new state-of-the-art arena Wi-Fi system. Each project has resulted in cost savings and a superior product for the University. AJP’s management skills have enabled our projects to be completed on time and under budget. We have tried projects without AJP and that was a mistake. Projects simply go better with AJP on your side.”

    Justin Durfey, Director of Special Events, Brigham Young University

  • “A first-class audio/visual system was critical to the gameday experience we envisioned at The Dollar Loan Center. Anthony James Partners delivered in every way, from the war horses in the scoreboard, to the LED ribbons around the Royal Landing. Their creativity and expertise helped deliver the type of entertainment that lives up to and even exceeds what fans will find at much larger venues.”

    Kerry Bubolz, Foley Entertainment Group President and Co-Chief Executive Officer

  • “Your team has been fantastic to work with. Without AJP’s help to this point, I can honestly say we would still be looking for answers instead of moving forward on potential solutions.”

     

    Gabe Mirabelli, Manager of Special Projects, Vegas Golden Knights

  • “AJP served a significant role in the development of our broadcast and in-venue display production capabilities. From the design and oversight of facility construction to the selection of equipment, engaging various campus stakeholders and shepherding the procurement process, our investment into a partnership with AJP has allowed us to both maximize our limited resources and execute a first-class broadcast solution.”

    Richard Kilwien, Senior Associate Director of Athletics, UC San Diego

  • “The project was an immense one to begin with and add in the fact the building [War Memorial Arena] opened in 1951 it became very intimidating.  All my fears were put to rest once Anthony James Partners became involved.

    Their expertise became apparent from the start with problem solving skills second to none. Their professionalism stood out and I felt like a partner every step of the way.  Their care factor is off the charts and I am still reaching out to them with questions, months after project sign off.”

    Jim Sarosy, Chief Operating Officer, Syracuse Crunch Hockey Club

  • “AJP served a significant role in the development of our broadcast and in-venue display production capabilities. From the design and oversight of facility construction to the selection of equipment, engaging various campus stakeholders and shepherding the procurement process, our investment into a partnership with AJP has allowed us to both maximize our limited resources and execute a first-class broadcast solution.”

    Richard Kilwien, Senior Associate Director of Athletics, University of California San Diego

  • “We started working with AJP in 2008, initially to help us design and source a new video board for Neyland Stadium. Their expertise delivered an outcome that far surpassed our expectations. In 2013, as we launched a plan to build a full-fledged broadcast studio, AJP was a natural choice for us. They have a firm commitment to represent the property in all aspects of consulting projects, which I believe is a point of differentiation. We have thoroughly enjoyed our relationship with AJP and the University of Tennessee has reaped the benefits.”

    Chris Fuller, Senior Associate Athletic Director, External Operations, University of Tennessee

  • “I would characterize our group as (very) pleased and satisfied with our LED upgrade project. Both the process and product were good, and have mentioned our favorable experience to a number of other venues since.

    I am equally encouraged by progress on the Content Management System RFP we are just concluding with AJP, as we improve the experience for Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose fans at the MTS Centre.”

    John Olfert, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, True North Sports & Entertainment Limited

  • “I would highly recommend working with AJP.  They are experts in their industry. They were responsible for getting us the largest and best quality video board possible within our budget. I can honestly say that without AJP on our team, the renovation of our basketball arena would not have turned out as great as it did.”

    David Walsh, Deputy Athletic Director, University of Richmond

  • “We did a lot of homework before we ever got to a point where we realized, you know what? We could do another two years of homework and still not be classified as experts in this acquisition…[AJP] helped us really get to an apples-to-apples comparison…That can be hard to do if you don’t really understand video boards and LED technology. They did a great job. They were really responsible for the design work on the header, the design work on the back of the board. It was important to us that we didn’t just put up a big box…From an aesthetic perspective, we wanted whatever we put up there to be in keeping with everything else that makes Neyland Stadium special.”

    Chris Fuller, Senior Associate Athletic Director, External Operations, University of Tennessee

  • “AJP always had our best interests in mind, but most importantly were not afraid to tell us when we were wrong. I cannot stress this point enough. There is nothing worse than bad information or a consultant that shies away from ‘the good, the bad and the ugly.'”

    Jamie Galileo, Senior Vice President of Facilities (Vivint Smart Home Arena / Utah Jazz)

  • “We’ve never worked with a group that was so spot on. We knew what to anticipate and what to do at each stage of the project.”

    Jim Steele, Director, Live Production and Venue Technology, Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, Ltd.

  • “I highly recommend AJP to anyone looking to upgrade or install new LED elements in any of their facilities. They have proven time and time again to be a valuable asset to the owner and keep our best interests in mind.”

    Bill Linn, Capital Project Manager, West Virginia University

  • “We worked with them on our new stat boards, HD studios, center hung scoreboard and replay screens for the Rose Garden, and they saved us many times more money than we paid them in fees. By using them we were able to deliver the project on time and on budget, even though we had to start the project much later than one would normally prefer. I have been in the sports and entertainment business for over 30 years, we use consultants all the time, and I have never worked with a more knowledgeable and effective company.”

     

    J.E. Isaac, Former Senior Vice President of Business Affairs, Portland Trail Blazers

  • “We are pleased with our new, state of the art scoreboard and the job AJP did to get us a quality product that was unique to our venue and communicated our brand. You know, when you see our venue and new scoreboard, that you are watching the University of Missouri.”

    Tim Hickman, Executive Associate Athletic Director, University of Missouri

  • “We have utilized the insight and expertise of AJP for many projects over the past several years. AJP continues to be a tremendous advocate and representative during both major renovations to our very old stadium and design process of an entirely new stadium. As we strive to enhance our fan experience, we are confident that AJP will help guide us through the ever-changing landscape of products, technologies and suppliers to give us the best value possible.”

    Bill Wright, Director of Partnerships and Game Day Operations, Saskatchewan Roughriders

  • “The budget AJP created was compressive and allowed for the type of bid analysis that is needed for projects as complicated as these tend to be. Which is a nice way of saying that because everyone was being measured by the same yardstick, there was nowhere to hide.”

    Jamie Galileo, VP Facilities, Larry H Miller Sports & Entertainment (Utah Jazz)

  • “We couldn’t have done it without them.”

LARRY DUFFIN, FORMER SPECIAL EVENTS DIRECTOR, BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY

“We used AJP as our consultant for our stadium and arena scoreboard projects. We could not have done it without them. They are so in tune with the industry that they know all the details. They literally saved us millions of dollars. As our Athletic Director said:  ‘We made back the consulting fee the minute we hired them. We used them in three phases: Design, RFP / Bid, and Construction. We would have been foolish to have tried any portion of it without them.’”

J.E. ISAAC, FORMER SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF BUSINESS AFFAIRS, PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS

“We worked with them on our new stat boards, HD studios, center hung scoreboard and replay screens for the Rose Garden, and they saved us many times more money than we paid them in fees. I have been in the sports and entertainment business for over 30 years, we use consultants all the time, and I have never worked with a more knowledgeable and effective company.”

JASON DENNARD, ASSISTANT ATHLETIC DIRECTOR, FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY

“AJP did a fantastic job guiding us through the process of renovating our digital assets at the Donald L. Tucker Center.

I would recommend their services to anyone looking to make changes to your game experience.”

TIM MOONEY, ASSOCIATE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR, UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO

“When purchasing our new video board we found that Anthony James Partners, (AJP), provided excellent expertise and value during the process. They helped in the technical knowledge, valuation and in the final confirmation that the project was completed to specification. They were helpful and provided a valuable return on Investment in all steps of the process, from RFP to negotiations and final punch list oversight. I would recommend AJP to anyone about to make such a purchase.”

ERIC RUDEN, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS, UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY

PETER DAIRE, GROUP HEAD OF SPONSORSHIP, THE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION LIMITED

“I want to express thanks on behalf of The FA to AJP for their services during our perimeter board project at Wembley. Their experience, technical knowledge and attention to detail was been first class and an invaluable aid in running the whole process from start to finish. I would have no hesitation in recommending AJP to others requiring similar services.”

JEFF MANN, ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER-OPERATIONS, CRVA / TIME WARNER CABLE ARENA

“I first came across Anthony James Partners as we were going through our naming rights transition. AJP did a great job overseeing the project and was instrumental in moving the process forward. More recently, we faced a complicated technical issue with our center hung scoreboard and I felt we needed a third party expert to help us through the process. Well, once again Michael and Frank proved to be a valuable resource for us, and gave us the expert opinions and guidance we needed. Simply put, these guys get it and they know their stuff. I have no hesitation recommending them.”

CHRIS FULLER, SENIOR ASSOCIATE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR, EXTERNAL OPERATIONS, UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE

I can say with certainty that we got much more than we expected from the relationship. In addition to helping us create a level playing field for the competitors involved, AJP really helped us with the design of our board, the integration of production equipment and controls, the negotiation and stayed with us all the way through the installation process – which was as positive and professional any construction process we’ve had on our campus.

TIM MOONEY, ASSOCIATE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR, UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO

“Our experience with AJP has been very positive. I have found the consultant work from AJP to be beneficial during the bid process and during the adjustments for best and finals. The assistance in the signage and design for the board and the surround was valuable.  Managing issues as they arose was excellent…In short, I would be happy and willing to share these thoughts and comments with future AJP consultant prospects.”

ADAM SCHMIDT, EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OF SALES AND MARKETING, PORTLAND TIMBERS

“We’ve had some impressive installations over the years but this one was very special to us. To be in the crowd, cheering on our hometown teams and witnessing how the video screens enhanced the game for more than 40,000 die-hard fans was an experience I’ll never forget.”
