The highest definition, sexiest things you can possibly imagine.“We need them there in Round 1 and John Holland have committed to that which, I’m pretty excited about.”It seems unlikely the scoreboards will be the largest in the world given Los Angeles’ new SoFi Stadium, which just hosted the Super Bowl, has a 360-foot (109.7-metre), double-sided 4K video board in a loop above the turf.Before that Dallas’ AT&T Stadium held the record with a 160-foot (48.7-metre) long, 72-foot (21.9-metre) high screen which cost $US40 million.The Marvel Stadium screens will be hung at the Coventry and Lockett ends of the ground.
