Arena Scoreboard

The most visually dominant element in the arena’s seating bowl, the scoreboard in Time Warner Cable Arena is the most technologically advanced scoreboard in the country. The Time Warner Cable Arena scoreboard is the largest scoreboard in any indoor entertainment venue in the country and features the largest video screen in use in any NBA facility. With no fixed images, the scoreboard’s full-screen LED technology allows an unlimited configuration of live and recorded video, scores, animation and graphics.

A unique, three-dimensional backlit cityscape above the scoreboard features the Charlotte skyline and uses a 360-degree projection system that allows the skyline to change and feature graphics such as airplanes and fireworks and night-time or daytime skies.

The scoreboard is 38-feet-high by 36-feet-wide, features four 16-foot-high by 28-foot-long LED video screens, and weighs 80,000 pounds.

In addition to the scoreboard, Time Warner Cable Arena features two ribbon fascia boards. The lower level: fascia display is three-feet-high by 945-feet-long and surrounds the circular perimeter of the lower seating bowl. The upper level fascia board consists of two 2.5-feet-high by 160-feet-wide fascia displays that run parallel to the basketball court sidelines.

The scoreboard was based upon an original concept from Barry Silberman, former arena COO and designed by Spurgeon Design Group, experts in lighting, video, sound, and sets for Broadway shows, themed venues, and Las Vegas theatrical extravaganzas. Most of the board, including the LED video portions, was manufactured by Daktronics, who has built scoreboards for some of the most recognizable sports facilities in the country.
