Massive dot-matrix LED sign, need help picking a technology

Why don't you just place a projector somewhere up high and then correct for sideways projection (since it will be looking at an angle towards the field). I think there are projectors that use some form of laser light that can produce a sharp picture from a distance. At least it works on buildings. However for your application I'm thinking a projector mounted up high like on a cell tower or a tall building. Or perhaps on your plane?

Been there done that, at night.
In daylight with today's technology it would take stupid amount's of power and $ to project anything readable.

You have better chances with even the cheapest (coarse pixel) Chinese video walls.

GigaJoe:
is some sort of acrylic letters with backlit would be a cheapest , i think a single panel  of acrylic 1.5 mm 260 cm x 80cm around $40-60
static letters, nothing fancy

Nusa:
There's always the old-school way. Gather up a lot of the victims friends and family and give them all contrasting poster-size boards and some same-day training from some guy with a megaphone who has comms with you. Even if a few of the people screw up their pixels, it should still work.
