New Scoreboard for Pacers

Looks like the Pacers are going with the Dallas Cowboys mindset, when it comes to scoreboards. Not gonna lie though, I jelly.



$16 Million

Looks like Rockets went a little bigger for official title of largest indoor screen.




C'mon Benson, you know you want one too

Wow. I think the renovation budget is $50-$60 million, $10 of which is earmarked for the practice facility.

I think I remember reading we weren't getting a new screen. Could be wrong. But we sure as shite aren't spending 16 mill.

Yeah, and the Arena isn't really big enough to justify a screen that large. If I wanted to watch a screen, I'd sit my arse at home drinking good/cheap beer.

Which makes it bigger than the Superdomes screens

If there is anywhere Benson needs to up the screen size, its in the dome. Upgrade quality of the screens in the arena, size in the dome.

I just think there are far more important improvements to be made than a bigger screen for the kiss cam and seafood derby. How the frick does an oyster run, anyway?

There will be upgrades to all screens, HD on the main ones at least, and better 'brains' for them. Anything can change. The upgrade should be complete by next season's tip.

$10m for HPF, $50m for the Arena, then more upgrades on a less scale following the biggies in the next 2 offseasons.

Why would you need to look at the other side? Not that I'd really be able to see them anyways
