PORTLAND, Ore. (February 19, 2025) – The Portland Trail Blazers are enhancing the fan experience at Moda Center with major videoboard upgrades set to debut ahead of the 2025-26 NBA season. Designed in collaboration with long-time technology consultant Anthony James Partners (AJP) and installed by integration partner ANC Sports, the project will transform in-game visuals and statistical displays across the arena.

LED HUSTLEBOARDS AND STATCENTRAL DISPLAYS
The highlight of the project is the transformation of the iconic HustleBoards and StatCentral displays – an innovative feature that set Moda Center apart when it opened in 1994 – will be upgraded to dynamic LED displays totaling 7,520 square feet of screen space, 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 videoboards in each corner with a ribbon board display between the two corners at each end. Each corner board will measure 24’ x 50’ 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 videoboards to ensure fans throughout the arena have clear views of game content.

LED CENTER-HUNG SCOREBOARD UPGRADE
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 courtside and lower bowl fans.

“We are excited to upgrade the fan experience at Moda Center ahead of next season with new dynamic displays across the arena,” said Dewayne Hankins, President of Business Operations, Portland Trail Blazers. “The endzone HustleBoards and stat central displays were industry-leading in the early 90s, allowing fans to stay closer to the action with statistical insights than most arenas, we’re excited to continue that innovative work with these dynamic endzone videoboards. No matter where fans are sitting in the arena, they will have a great view of all the game action.”

“AJP is exceptionally proud of our long-standing partnership with the Trail Blazers, dating back over 15 years to the design of the previous center-hung display in 2009—technology that has truly stood the test of time,” said Michael Rowe, Chief Executive Officer of AJP. “Now, we’re embarking on a distributed TV (IPTV) project and exploring future technology system upgrades, including broadcast control, audio systems, and more—all in continued support of the Trail Blazers’ efforts to enhance the fan experience at Moda Center.”
