Video surfaced Friday morning of the United Center scoreboard being taken down and disassembled. In its place will go a "state-of-the-art scoreboard and fully immersive arena audio system" for the start of the Bulls' and Blackhawks' 2019-2020 seasons.
Here's what the new scoreboard will feature, per the press release:
• 8,600 square feet of 4mm pixel pitch displays, making it the largest center-hung screen display with the highest resolution technology among all arenas that host both NBA and NHL teams
• Nearly four times more LED screen display than the existing scoreboard
• Kinetic movement with six independent panels
• First-of-its-kind, continuous inner ring display
• Immersive audio, production lighting and more
The new inner ring will "provide video and stats to fans closest to the floor or ice, while the increased panel size and image clarity will enhance the view from all other perspectives, including the 100-, 200-, 300- and penthouse levels.
