bling blang!

It weighs 49,000 pounds and its four large HD-ready light emitting diode (LED) screens (14 feet by 24 feet) display 4.4 trillion colours. Up close at full power it’s like standing on a Tahitian beach.

ima guess... 3 million!

sweet! i wasnt sure when this was going in, i was pretty disappointed when i went to the edmonton game and they still had the old one. i can't wait!

[FeelGood]

So I wonder if the price of beers are going to go up another quarter or two :p

[KenJi]

^ better beer than ticket prices.

Fucking SWEET.

Screw you, cathode ray tubes!

[Technix]

Now that's snazzy lookin.

I thought we went to the Arena to watch it live and not on a Screen. If I wanted to do that I'd watch it in a Bar.

[Gusto]

pretty sure they don't have huge scoreboards in bars.

[mapleleaf4ever]

Who cares? I can still see the Score on the TV.

I don't get the hype over a TV that uses more power than the Ivory Coast does in a Year.

[KenJi]

Those jumbotron scoreboards are dope. They tell you shots, and show everything.

Plus Erik the scoreboard is there for just that and replays. You don't get to see what happens on the ice in the same experience if you watch it at home.

I know cause ive seen a bunch of games live and than many 100's more on t.v. That would be hillarious if they left it that low. It would be broken firstr game

^lol it uses the same amount of power as the average household

plus, we're not going for the screen, but its an added bonus esp. for the nose bleeds

also, since they added the 'ring' there's been no out of town scoreboard, so this will be even more welcome.

[KenJi]

^ plus think of the wrestling. LOL

WWE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!!

if they even use it for the wwe events i don't know for sure but i am guessing they do

I get that, in a way... but I'm still stoked on this screen.

Even at games, it's fun to see replays of that huge hit you just witnessed live. So you and everyone else at GM place can go .. "OHHHH!!!"

Let's not, and say we did.

[Grapes]

Also Erik, in regards to not being impressed on this new installation, keep in mind that the artilce pointed out that the old screen was basically so outdated that they were at a point where they couldn't find any replacement parts for it.

So soon there was just going to be no screen. And if you're going to get a replacement (and you're charging as much for tickets as they do) well, then... go big or (have all your fans) stay home.

I guess I have to go to a game to experience the full mega huge screen because it won't be the same if I watch the screen from my mini tv screen.
