Jumbotrons. Is double jumbo's the pinnacle ?

[Brookbank]

Seattle has double jumbotrons. Is this considered the best ? Or does the big center jumbotrons that Edmonton and Vancouver have for example, just a different way of doing it ? If double jumbos was the pinnacle, you would think that Vancouver or Edmonton would have done it too. The new Vancouver one has seamless screens which I don't believe the Edmonton one has.

I'll admit, after watching some clips of Seattle from an average upper seating position, it looks pretty damn good. But big singles do offer a more traditional hockey arena look. Maybe this is why Vancouver opted for the new single.

How old are Montreal or the Leafs jumbotrons ? If they are aging and close to being updated, would they go for double jumbos or just a big single ? As Leafs or Montreal fans , do you want doubles like Seattle has or a new single ? As a Vancouver fan, I am not sure what to think. I'd like an explanation as to why we don't have doubles.

Wasn’t the shape of the climate pledge pyramid the reason they went with the double?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Technically whatever team had Joe Thornton play for had double jumbos first.

So, I guess Boston.

Then San Jose
Then Toronto
Then Florida

I think that's it.

TB lightning jumbotron is pretty nice

Was it ? Maybe that explains it. It is a unique building for sure. But even if that is true, you'd think the concept of double jumbos could be used in any building.

You can really only look at 1 at a time - what's the point? Seems stupid...

Edit: also inb4 "I'm seeing double, 4 jumbotrons"

The Penguins got a new one this season.

I like Seattle's doubletron.

Here's a shot I took from my first Kraken home game in April 2022 - it took a bit to get used to (from my seat, there was an obvious one to watch but I kept getting distracted by the other one).

Halfway through the game I was too pissed at the Golden Knights to worry about the jumbotrons, and I got used to watching the closer one. It's a cool concept (and yes, it's because of the roof shape).

Here's Seattle with them on. And Vancouvers

Seattle has two; one for each eye

I can’t speak for Seattle but the Blackhawks new Jumbotron is pretty awful imo

I remember Dominion grocery stores. Are they still around in Ontario?

Heh.

Anyway watch the intro clip. I think it is hard to argue that anyone sitting on the corners doesn't have a better view than a big single offers.

Now that you tanked for Bedard, I bet you'll be getting a new one sooner than later

The Washington Capitals were the first to have a video screen on the scoreboard in 1973

Looks like a shipping container with pictures.

It doesn’t have any underbelly screens, though. I mean what is this, the 1950’s?

I usually like sitting close to center ice so that would be a little annoying having to look left or right all the time to watch replays.

 

[ElGuapo]

Dallas has a new one.

Double jumbos are fun at first but the novelty wears off and other things become more important pretty quickly

I was right. I kinda figured you were a leg man.

I just want to see a replay. I suspect depending on your seat, the doubles offer a better view than the singles in the middle

Pfft NHL needs an oculus:

a cursed franchise

Torn-Down Tuesday: Marine Midland Arena JumboTron crashes to the ice, 1996

It was one of the more notorious moments in Buffalo Sabres history, 24 years ago this week.
