[chron] huge video screen and arena upgrades coming

I won't give the Rockets any credit for this. They only did this cause it was in the contract to get the all star game back to Houston.

 

but the Rockets had to do the leg work to GET the all star game


they get full credit

 

If the games/players can't put people in the seat, at least make the arena itself more attractive, I guess.

 

I've excited about this since last season when it was announced. Can't wait to see it in person. Hope they do a time lapse video of instillation

 

Plan to attend pre season games
Now decide to postpone the Texas trip to nov in order to see this huge screen

 

Can we dim the lights like the Lakers

 

Here it is.

 

The Boston Garden was demolished.

Toyota Center is newer and more modern than TD Banknortrh Center, or FleetCenter, or TD Center, or whatever they are calling it these days since it was opened in 1995.

 

If the they are upgrading the WIFI then they should allow fans to bring in iPads. Last year you couldn't even bring then inside the arena.

 

So, what about concerts at TC? Will this thing block the view of the stage for many seats?

 

Clearly, this is to stop Camby from making 95 footers when he comes back.

 

Have you ever been in a stadium for concerts?

Theyll lift this thing up to the rafters...

 

"Why didn't they spend the money on a superstar free agent instead?"

 

No, never. I'm in my 30's and have never attended a concert anywhere, not even at TC.

 

unless it was the Heat and Lakers playing.. then that'd be awesome

 

not sure if serious, you for real sir?

 

Dead serious. If Kam or Moes says I was in a suite with them for the JayZ/Kanye show, they are totally lying!

I guess I just never paid attention to the screens or even thought about it because they were pulled up. *This one is just so big.

*Teed up for Swoly.

 

I'll give the credit to Houstonians. They'll be paying for this crap through their taxes and at the box office. I'll give the Rockets credit for seeing an opportunity for getting something at a big discount and jumping on it.

 

Obviously Les and Morey are preparing for a big major trade so instead of offering Ipads to the possible trade targets, they've decided to go all in and get a huge screen for the arena. Who doesn't want to play under neath one??
