[chron] huge video screen and arena upgrades coming

sidestep,
In the old setup of the arena, look at the ENDS of the Toyota Center not the main scoreboard. Players (standing at the top of the key) are able to see game information there. I am sure those are to be upgraded as well and a bit bigger.

 

There's another change I haven't seen others mention.

It appears in the suite levels running baseline to baseline, Toyota Center will now have 3 LED Ribbon Boards, as opposed to the 1 lone LED ring that spanned the entire facade (which is still there)

With all that LED signage + Gigantatron over the court, and the overhanging baseline boards, Toyota Center oughta look like Times Square this season.

 

Ah I see. If those end panels remain as they are, I think there may be line-of-sight problems with the crazy size and length of the center panel structure, depending on where a player is standing and facing.

 

I think they are far and high enough, where the players on the court will still be able to see it. Since there are two, one should be visible at all times. Plus, i think the new mega-screen may not be raised all the way in the picture that was posted.

 

The first pre-season game at TC is in 4 days (Friday, 12th). Whatever the final set looks like, we will probably know by then.

 

The scoreboard goes from FT line to FT line. They should be able to see it.

 

From what I heard, or might remember, I don't think they are. They're going to use it for the Rockets first. I don't even think they're using it for preseason. I don't think.

Any word if they will be playing the (not just replays) on the score board like they do at football games?
Would make the upper bowl a great value.
