The project totals more than 9,300 square feet of digital displays installed in 2022. “Sharks Sports & Entertainment is committed to providing our guests with a world-class experience when visiting SAP Center.

The main displays are capable of variable content zoning allowing each to show one large image or to be divided into multiple zones to show any combination of content including live video, instant replays, up-to-the-minute statistics and game information, graphics and animations, and sponsor...
