Some interesting stats:

• built by South Dakota-based Daktronics
• weighs 49 000 pounds
• 4 HD-ready LED screens, 13.5 feet by 24 feet; can display 4.4 trillion colours
• 8 computers, and draws as much power as an average house
• 4 smaller displays at the corners
• 2 ribbon screens show advertising and other data
• biggest jumbotron in the NHL
