"When installed 13 years ago, the Ralph Wilson Stadium JumboTron was called the biggest in America, a 1,300-square-foot screen so dominating that coach Marv Levy found that it distracted his Bills when flashing highlights from games across the country.
This summer, the Bills will install a new screen twice as large - a high-definition display more sophisticated than the one that will grace Sunday's Super Bowl in Miami.
In addition, crews will ring the stadium with a new electronic "ribbon board" that can carry messages as dazzling as the ribbon board in HSBC Arena.
Just as in 1994, taxpayers will sponsor the upgrades as part of long-term improvement contracts for the county-owned stadium.
Even under a state-appointed control board, the county gives the Bills an annual operating grant, which will reach $3.8 million this year, contributes to game-day expenses and improves the facility, this time with a cutting-edge scoreboard."
Thoughts?
It's great for the long-term future of the team in Buffalo, IMO.
