Pepsi Center Jumbotron

[hockeyfish]

Is that a construction worker or a cartoon? Am I the only one here?

Kind of looks like a ghost to me. A ghost construction worker.

Are the end screens really gonna overhang the edges of the main screen like that? Looks really strange like that.

 

[Bubba Thudd]

Wow that thing is huge.

That's what she said.

Bubba made a funny

Can't post the Twitter link because I'm at work, but the Avalanche Twitter account has posted new pictures and a video of the new jumbotron.

Edit: They also posted a Vine with a couple different angles, but I don't know how to post that on here

Thank you for posting good sir

Thank you for posting good sir

No problem! I could sit here and stare at this for hours and still be amused.

I don't see Duchene in the shot.... he must be on the trade block

Deal is just pending league approval

That thing looks impressive. Would love to be able to actually go to a game at the Pepsi Center at some point in the future.

Loooooks amazzzzing! The best off-season EVER! GO GO!

 

[the_fan]

Does that jumbotron has enough megapixels to keep up with Mackinnon and Duchene flying up and down the ice?

Check out the red seats in that photo - those are season ticket seats that are available. That's how bad the Avs attendance has gotten.

Don't worry, fans will be back when team starts winning again. It's normal for people not to buy the product when It's bad.

Really?

How would that work with the Nuggets?

ahh you're right could be the Nuggets but I doubt it. They cover the available seats with papers and you can select the ones you want to move into for the upcoming year. I'm imagining since the Avs were on the jumbotron though, they probably were showing Avs season ticket holders what the jumbotron will look like and what Avs seats are open.

Wouldn't the seating be opposite, red for taken? Especially on those upper tiers why would people randomly take from the middle of the top row? Either way though, the lower bowl is about 50/50. Some will sell with single game tix which have not gone on sale yet. But yeah, attendance has not been great for several years.

The paper says what the price is for the season, and you take it to the account rep when you're done and they basically switch your seat. The browns seats with no paper are already taken.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Oh ok, I believe you. Just strange people are taking top middle of the upper sections.

Those are actually Colorado Mammoth season ticket renewals....

Haha you actually think Avs have lost that many fans

Have you been to an Avs game in the last two years? Its embarrassing. On a weekday it's half full, on a weekend you might get 75-80% full depending on who is playing, and any game against contenders, half the fans in the arena are wearing the opponents jerseys.

I'm going to be livid once the Avs contend again and all of these Avs faithful will magically resurface. Not as bad as the "Die-Hard" Chicago fans, but still. I remember games against the Hawks 8 years ago in Denver, you could count them on your hands and now you can count the Avs jerseys in your section on your hands.

Red Wings games at the Can are just as bad.

Granted, the team has had a horrible on and off ice product for a while. It isn't just the poor play, they also quit giving away any prizes, the in game entertainment sucks, and the venue all around is pretty lame. Add to that the high ticket prices, and it's not too shocking that they have a hard time filling the arena. Hopefully they get some better PR people to get interest back into the team.

Spectacular is the only word that comes to mind!
