DALLAS, 12 February 2024 – STAIDIUM U.S. announced a partnership with the Chesterfield Sports Association today that will deliver artificial intelligence (AI)-powered live sports streaming from St. Louis, Missouri’s world-class youth volleyball and basketball facility.  

The agreement calls for the new, state-of-the-art Chesterfield Sports Complex to install STAIDIUM’s self-developed and fully-automated cameras throughout the 97,000 square foot complex. These cameras leverage AI to follow the action, capture and analyze video in real-time and add viewer-friendly graphic packages and statistical overlays — all without any manual oversight. The cameras will be positioned across nine basketball and 18 volleyball courts, with the potential to stream content from the more than 65 thousand games a year hosted at the complex. 

As part of the partnership, STAIDIUM has purchased the streaming rights to the events taking place at the Chesterfield Sports Complex. In addition, the Chesterfield Sports Association will share revenue generated from the STAIDIUM broadcasts.

“We’re thrilled to put an exclamation point on a massively successful first year at STAIDIUM by partnering with the Chesterfield Sports Association,” said Dave Cochran, Managing Director, STAIDIUM U.S. “Everything about the Chesterfield Sports Complex is state-of-the-art, so our AI cameras will be a perfect fit to help showcase the venue and its events to fans, scouts, and coaches across the country."

The Chesterfield Sports Complex hosts more than 600,000 people annually, including visitors for a wide range of local, national, and regional tournaments. The STAIDIUM broadcasts originating from the complex will be available on STAIDIUM.net.

“We are extremely excited to launch this new partnership with STAIDIUM. What they bring to the sports streaming industry is state-of-the-art technology. This partnership will allow parents and relatives to watch their loved ones at practices and games if they can’t attend in person,” said Stuart Duncan, Executive Director, Chesterfield Sports Association.
