LeBron James makes his regular season debut at Quicken Loans Arena Thursday night, which is nice and all, but nobody told us there would be flaming scoreboard sabers involved:
Quicken Loans Arena’s brand new center-hung scoreboard, armed with the fan-favorite flaming sabers, and its new audio/visual systems will make their collective debut when the Cavs 2014-15 season tips off vs. the New York Knicks on Thursday, October 30th at 8:00 p.m…
…GIANT-SIZED. The four-sided, center-hung scoreboard has four enormous HD video screens that are tilted and uniquely curved to provide optimal viewing angles for all fans whether they are seated in the front row on the floor, or in the upper level in Loudville. The two sideline screens measure 31.50’ high x 56.69’ wide and feature greater-than-HD video. The two high-resolution baseline screens measure 29.92’ high x 33.07’ wide.
BRILLIANT. In addition to the new scoreboard, The Q will be illuminated with a grand total of more than 11,682 square feet of new LED displays that have been installed in the arena’s seating bowl and concourses. This included updating the four corner boards and 360-degree fascia ribbon in the seating area and replacing traditional backlit signage on the concourses with high resolution LED technology.
