The square footage of this new Prudential Center scoreboard is equivalent to 1,300 50-inch TVs
The largest and highest definition center-hung arena scoreboard in the world will be unveiled at the New Jersey Devils’ Oct. 7 home opener at Prudential Center in Newark.
The 88,401-pound videoboard (equivalent to 2,562.35 Stanley Cups), was built by a company called Trans-Lux to support the fan experience at Prudential Center.
It has more than 29.6 million pixels stretched across 9,585 square feet, standing nearly four stories tall. The video screens in the scoreboard are equivalent in square footage to 1,300 50-inch TVs, though the one at Prudential Center has just 20 individual displays, including 4 HD televisions.
“Our partnership with Trans-Lux, and the installation of the largest in-arena scoreboard in the world, is another example of our commitment to providing our fans the most dynamic, engaging and technologically-advanced experience in the industry today, said Hugh Weber, President of Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment and the New Jersey Devils and Prudential Center.
The video board also creates new, more dynamic, engaging and visually-appealing opportunities for sponsors, said Weber. Corporate partners already signed up to use the scoreboard for advertising include Prudential, RWJ Barnabas, Investors Bank, ECP&G, M&M’s, Calandra’s, Ford and PSE&G.
