FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots hope their new offense makes as striking of a first impression as the record-breaking video board officials unveiled Tuesday.
Officials touted the new video board, which is part of a $250 million renovation to Gillette Stadium, as the largest outdoor stadium video board in the country.
It measures 22,200 square feet (370 x 60), features a curved radius, and includes 20 million pixels. All told, it measures almost half an acre.
"We wanted something big. Once you start designing it, the curved radius, and you start doing the math -- we were right there to be the largest outdoor video board in North America," said Jim Nolan, chief operating officer of Kraft Sports + Entertainment.
