The decision is more in the hands of arena owners than a league or team…unless the team owns the arena. That being said, those halo boards are awesome and it would be cool to see them in more arenas in the future.
I mean, it’s cool and all, but isn’t it excessive? I mean, I’m here to watch the game, not an IMAX 3D super 4K ultra HD movie experience shit, anyway, yeah looks cool
This will be like playing sports in The Sphere.
So I can have more advertisements distracting me from the game I already paid $$ to see?
Edit: No, thanks. Jumbo-tron is good enough.
I’m all for a good video board but I don’t think I need every stat I can imagine about every player. This seems like too much.
No
Impressive, but overkill. And, I highly doubt any NHL owner would install something like this because of the cost, even if they can. Only somebody like Balmer would have done something like this in an arena of its size.
Theese look much better in large stadiums (NFL/soccer). It’s too large in arenas.
Maybe if it was much smaller and more centralized.
More space for ads! Why not!
Would have so much space for gambling ads!!!
No
The board really only needs to display score, power plays and time. Replays when relevant.
Anything else, I’m watching the ice.
It could be distracting and the brightness may make it harder to see the game if people are sitting in the upper seats. If they are thinking about do this, maybe do a test and pretend they are in the customer’s shoes.
Heres my dumbass thinking their arena is still a steel frame and not a fully functional arena
I get that this is the direction these days, but certainly over the top as well. I’d rather keep simpler and stay focused on the game happening on the ice.
honestly, the kraken showed two jumbotrons are enough. we don’t need a halo board
There’s no need for any NHL arena to aggressively implement it of course but at the same time there’s no reason for them to avoid it assuming they can afford it and players/fans are OK with it. It’s just a fancy display
They should invent a device that you can carry around in your pocket that has the stats if you’re interested in seeing them. Wouldn’t need so much space!
Who’s paying for it?
No thanks. They’d fill it with ads
Looks great. I don’t think this is an NHL decision though. Seems like an arena decision.
Most interesting part of this is that it came from south Dakota…. weird
Cool for basketball. Not on brand for the nhl imo
At least now I somewhat know how long it is if I roll it out flat
