BEHIND THE SCENES: United Center Cutting Edge Scoreboard

[@poppopw5305]

I'm from Philly and we also recently upgraded our scoreboard system to something similar. This is phenomenal and a far cry from the old basic four-sided electro-mechanical boards I grew up seeing.

[@lousanto1054]

Agreed. I have been to both the (then) CoreStates Center, and here it the UC. Being from the Detroit area, and now living and teaching in Genesee County, it had been way too long since I have bern to either. Philly in 1997, and Chicago in 2016) so this will be awesome to see up close in person.

[@marblox9300]

I miss the old Chicago Stadium Scoreboard with the round clocks. Also The Monster Sounding Pipe Organ built into the building. And of course the greatest PA Announcer to ever live Harvey Wittenberg. Just Sayin..............

[@dontedrake2316]

I do miss the old school board they could have put that there it could design the building but they chose not to

[@javianjohnson8746]

Nice. I looked really good during NBA all star weekend

[@e3erockstar08]

Chicago is big and beautiful, so it was only right to make this upgrade. Like it.

[@dontedrake2316]

The scoreboard's nice I like Philly scoreboard even though I've been to United center it's a nice building they probably did this in 2020 also 25th anniversary of the building

Cool

When did this change happen? 2020?

[@darius5771]

2019

[@atribecalledjudah5436]

That was built the same way as The Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim.

[@christianjones5032]

I'm glad both owners were willing to pay big bucks for this great scoreboard. Now, if only Jerry would open his wallet and pay the luxury tax for the Bulls like a big market owner should do, that would be great.

[@nickt2985]

I think philly’s new screen is the highest resolution

[@tomwujek4867]

Philadelphia and Chicago both use Mitsubishi 4mm LED panels. Chicago has more pixels due to the additional/larger displays.

[@GoalHornGeek]

It’s got too much add space.

[@eighty2018]

And they removed the horns... 😞

[@GoalHornGeek]

EIGHTY/20 no they didn’t. They relocated it to the rafters. www.thefaceoff.net/nhl-goal-horns-west.html scroll down to Chicago and the third and 4th show where it is

[@eighty2018]

@@GoalHornGeek That's cool, wish they'd put them back under the scoreboard though. Probably slightly affects the sound.

[@Jpw824]

Where is the goal horn now?

[@tylermichie8974]

Attached to the ceiling. A bit of a different sound

It is not the biggest arena in North America Montreal bell centre is

[@16pony47]

Too bad their new intro sucks @$$... And this is coming from a Bulls fan. 😂😂😂

[@GoalHornGeek]

“Largest arena in North America” lmao. The Greensboro Coliseum in NC is bigger

[@tastebudds456]

Its not

[@GoalHornGeek]

Lloyd Dean actually, it is. Greensboro Coliseum can hold 23,500

[@GoalHornGeek]

Kilian Sheehan I said can because it depends on events. Hockey is only 22,000 seats and Baskeball is 23,500 permanent seats
