Bobcats arena has a great scoreboard

The Charlotte Bobcats, the professional basketball team in Charlotte built a new stadium in 2005 when they started their first season.

The scoreboard in the arena was, at the time, the most advanced scoreboard technologically in use at a baskeball stadium.

The thing weighs 80,000 pounds. All those flat screen high definition monitors probably weigh less than what a cathode ray tube equivalent would weigh, but still weigh a lot.

It has a larger video screen and more advanced electronics in it than anyone else. The video screens are higher resolution than any arena in the country.

When you think about it, it should, because it's a new arena.
The screens let the event organizers work with all kinds of images to help the audience enjoy the event they are watching. The screens aren't fixed and can display any type of information or vieo. Soy, when a musical act comes to town, their image can be transmitted to the big screen overhead and everyone can have the front row seat view.

There are tons of events besides basketball games that come through the arena in uptown Charlotte. It's one of many reasons to consider making Charlotte NC your home soon.
