<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Verizon Center this fall will become the first indoor arena to boast a high-definition scoreboard, officials from Washington Sports and Entertainment said. Mitsubishi Electric and ANC Sports Enterprises have agreed to install a square display measuring 14 feet, 5 inches high and 25 feet, 2 inches wide. The square also will feature four video screens measuring 5 feet, 3 inches high by 25 feet 6 inches wide. The high-definition displays will be capable of showing up to 68 billion colors. Existing signage at Verizon Center also will be replaced by a 1,000-foot band of new video screens surrounding the upper bowl and 400 feet of new screens in the lower bowl. Mitsubishi Electric will install the scoreboard and screens, while ANC Sports signed a multiyear deal to create content and animations for the system. "Arenas are being built all over the country, and in order to compete, you need to be ahead of the curve," said Abe Pollin, chairman of Washington Sports and Entertainment, which owns the Wizards and Verizon Center. "Partnering with ANC Sports and Mitsubishi Electric, who have created the first true high definition scoreboard, is a perfect example, and we're excited to be able to expand our resume of firsts for sports and entertainment facilities."</div> Link Freakin' sweet, I went to about 10 games or so last year, this year will be so much better.
