It looks really bad. But most North Americans should be used to seeing ads since your most popular sport is basically nothing but ads.

Not my most popular sport, mine is the one with the annoying ads , that change during game play.
I’d someone ever starts a web page to complain about these, I’ll sign up as long as gets sent to the NHL.

Just sent NHL an email , telling them I canceled centre ice after 25 years, don’t want to watch ads changing during play, it’s too distracting. Told them I’m done.
Told them I’m done with Jerseys now, my wife says 15 is enough anyways.
Told them full season seats became half seats.
Not that they care , but I feel better telling them, not expecting a reply, that’s fine.
Maybe I’ll send another one next week with a different email address I use.

So I didn’t mind the board ads at all, i actually kind of liked them. What i dont like is the ads superimposed on the glass behind the net.

it does seem to be the first step in just superimposing ads on the whole crowd

I was actually thinking this might not be bad, but it was pretty terrible in the two Sharks-Predators games. The issue is that the ads aren't always crisp and sharp, which creates a disorienting visual effect when everything outside of them is clear. On top of that, if the board ads are a brighter white than the ice, that's a disorienting effect as well.
And I see where the comparison comes to the digital advertising hoardings around football pitches, and while I don't like those, I think these the NHL is using are worse. That's partly because the pitch is larger and so you see less of the digital ads. Plus they're actual digital boards, so while too bright sometimes (at least this is against green grass and not white ice), at least they're sharp enough to not mess with your vision that way.
If we've got the projected ads on the ice at the same time as these on the boards (and maybe some on the glass!), I don't know--it may soon be a terribly unpleasant experience trying to watch a game. And just like the jersey ads, all thanks to a little greed.

Who watches commercials on Sunday when watching the NFL anymore? Oh, commercial break? Flip to NFL Redzone!

Because some of the digital ones are changing during play, looks like a video in background.

It makes a difference because these ads are animated during play and thus distracts from watching the actual game.
Oooh, dystopic. Just need some heavy pinks and blues and we're ready for Blade Runner on ice.

Jesus. Give up the faux outrage.
I didn't realize the ads would be continually changing during the game until you and another explained otherwise and when you did I said a simple "I see" but apparently my response wasn't convincing enough to you. Jesus Christ. Take a break ok?

That sounds more reasonable, the other sounded like you didn’t see it or care. All good.
And relax dude lol.

The amount of ads in NFL games is one of the main reasons i don't watch much games live. I just DVR them and fast forward through ads and stoppages. It saves me so much time in my day to do other things as a result but still be able to catch the game.
I would say soccer isn't as bad since the boards are further from the play than right next to it majority of the time like in hockey.
