The Portland Trail Blazers, a NBA franchise, are enhancing video boards at the Moda Center arena in partnership with ANC, which is serving as the tech integration partner and Anthony James Partners, a technology consultant.

There will be new end zone video boards featuring 7,520 square feet of LED screens, according to a press release. The project will transform in-game visuals and statistical displays across the arena.

The highlight is the transformation of the iconic HustleBoards and StatCentral displays — an innovative feature that set Moda Center apart when it opened in 1994. The displays will be upgraded to more than one and a half times the square footage of an NBA court.

The new screens, alongside ANC's LiveSync venue control software, will allow for more real-time in-depth stat displays, video displays featuring player personality videos, and in-game entertainment.

The upgrade features prominent video boards in each corner with a ribbon board display between the two corners at each end. Each corner board will measure 24-feett-by-50-feet and feature over a million pixels, with the ribbon screen also boasting a million pixels. Additionally, rear-facing LED screens will be added to the back of the new video boards to ensure fans throughout the arena have clear views of game content.

The Moda Center's center-hung scoreboard will be enhanced, increasing in size by 56% to 2,092 square feet of seamless LED display with more than 13.5 million pixels. The updated design features continuous screens from corner to corner and new underbelly displays will enhance visibility for court side and lower bowl fans.

"We're building on our legacy of innovation with these new dynamic end zone video boards, designed to bring fans closer to the game than ever before," Dewayne Hankins, president of business operations, Portland Trail Blazers, said in the release. "No matter where you're sitting in the arena, you'll now have an incredible view of every play, every highlight and every stat — taking the Moda Center experience to the next level."
