The Houston Rockets are hosting the All-Star Game this February and as part of that are doing $15 million in upgrades to the arena so it looks all spiffy for its guests. Kind of like how you only hire a cleaning service for your home right before a party.
Among those additions — the largest video screen in an indoor arena in America. That is what the Rockets announced Tuesday (as noticed by Ball Don’t Lie).
Apparently somebody had Cowboy Stadium envy. (By the way, the Rockets say it is the largest indoor stadium board by suggesting the Jerry Jones monster board is outdoor.)
There are a lot of cool things the Rockets may do with such a board, but what should be pointed out is this is the trend. The Pacers are getting a similar sized board. You can bet 28 other arenas are thinking about it… okay, 27, there is no way the Maloofs are putting one up in Sacramento.
Still, just like televisions in homes, bigger is better. And we want our Wi-Fi at the same time.
