Worlds Largest Video Screens Unveiled
http://members.jacksonville.com/news...-largest-video
Big, Big Debut: EverBank Field upgrades, including world's largest video screens, are unveiled By Meredith Rutland Sat, Jul 26, 2014 @ 10:46 pm | updated Sat, Jul 26, 2014 @ 11:59 pm The video boards of EverBank Field had their own commercials, billboards and shout-outs from some of Jacksonville’s biggest politicians and businessmen. As Saturday night approached, one big question hung in the air: After months of hype and millions of dollars, would the boards live up to expectations? EverBank Field unveiled $63 million worth of renovations Saturday night, including the 362-foot-wide video boards, touted as the world’s largest TV screens. Most of that money, $43 million, will come from taxpayers in the form of hotel bed taxes. Fans gave Jaguars owner Shad Khan a standing ovation as he took the podium to debut the video boards. His smile projected on the screens, just about clear enough to pick out mustache hairs. “We’re proud that the world’s largest scoreboards are up with the name EverBank,” he said. “Let’s turn on the boards.” Khan and Jacksonville politicians counted down, and fans’ voices rang in the air for the “three, two, one.” The screens cut to a series of shots of Jacksonville’s horizon as the sun rose. Those in the stands turned their heads, leaned onto railings and snapped photos. The boards lit up with aerial shots of Jacksonville’s beaches, sparks of lightning and close-up snapshots of everyday life: military homecomings, golf and children holding American flags. |

Endzones. Actually wider than the endzones themselves. Kinda silly if you ask me. And why would i pay $175 to watch from the pool? I can do that at home. Great for tourists though.

There are only two expansion teams to not go to a SB since the Chiefs last won a playoff game...

All the commercials during the game are a distraction. I absolutely hate they put screens where the Ring of Honor was at Arrowhead. The whole game- commercials are flashing to try and sell you tickets ect. Very annoying.

Yep the video screens are not about improving the in game experience, they're about more advertising $$$.
