...Charlotte Motor Speedway

While watching NASCAR I remembered hearing about Charlotte Motor Speedway and Panasonic making a deal to build a huge video board along the back of the track. Huge may be an understatement sense it will be the world's largest. It is planed to be installed by next year's Coca-Cola 600. This is what the track's website had to say about it:


-At an incredible length of 200 feet wide, standing 80 feet tall and weighing 165,000 pounds, the video board will cover an expansive 16,000 square feet and be located between Turns 2 and 3 along the backstretch of the legendary super speedway. Fans seated throughout the front stretch from Turn 4 to Turn 1 will have clear viewing angles of the gigantic board that will feature 720P high-definition visuals illuminated by more than nine million light emitting diode, or LED, lamps.


Sounds massive. If you are familiar with sports then you will know that currently Cowboy's Stadium houses the largest board, but after this goes up that will be yesterday's news. The one is Dallas cost $40 million, but no word yet on how much this one will cost. This just further inspires me to build a massive house and install a television even larger than this one, which is possible. I am giving this news a Digit Up.
