The arena is getting a new scoreboard.

^Feckless mentioned elsewhere it was a used system, although I didn't see that in the article, and the Coyotes do have a dead link now "Massive Video Board Will Enhance Game Day Experience For Fans". Anyone know from where? (it's also possible I just overlooked it)
The Daktronics, center-hung display system was purchased from another arena and is just a few years old. It will be supplemented by auxiliary displays. It will be ready for the home opener Oct. 6 when the Coyotes host the Anaheim Ducks. The Coyotes did not divulge what the board cost but it is believed the cost of a new board today would be in excess of $10 million.
Craig's original story said that it was a $10M cost to purchase, that it was "a couple of years old," and that it came from another arena (wonder if it was another of AEG's arenas that just got a new board? Maybe Staples?).
EDIT: Craig's story has been updated to read that a brand new board would cost $10M, but that this one was "a few years old":
A few new ones latelyish:
Largest in-arena scoreboard in the world unveiled at Prudential Center
give me new arena lighting. that is all
I believe AEG is working on this.
Feck please make them go faster
Nobody at the team listens to me (or else we'd have RIGHTEOUS NACHOS and better uniforms), but I do believe AEG has planned to go full LED with the lighting over the course of the next year.
Hell yes..... I want my MACHO NACHOS!!!
I'm fine with the uni's….but the food gets worse every year. And starting this past year no Poutine or Timbits....Nobody at the team listens to me (or else we'd have RIGHTEOUS NACHOS and better uniforms), but I do believe AEG has planned to go full LED with the lighting over the course of the next year.
So even the scoreboards in Michigan retire to Arizona.

Just saw a tweet from GRA that Streets of New York pizza has taken over the Papa John's pizza concession.
