Is there any particular reason that Daktronics is named in the discussion of the center-hung video screens? I know that Daktronics is a major manufacturer of sports video and timing equipment, but most other discussions of sports facilities do not mention the manufacturers of the scoreboards or video screens (which, in some cases, may change every two or three years). Even the discussion of the scoreboard at Charlotte Bobcats Arena: Arena Highlights neglects to mention the manufacturer's name.
- Not so: "The scoreboard was based upon an original concept from Barry Silberman, arena COO and designed by Spurgeon Design Group, experts in lighting, video, sound, and sets for Broadway shows, themed venues, and Las Vegas theatrical extravaganzas. Most of the board, including the LED video portions, was manufactured by Daktronics . . ." Arena Scoreboard
[edit] Error?
"The Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA), the oldest collegiate association of historically black colleges and universities in the United States, will hold their annual Men's and Women's conference basketball tournament at the venue beginning in 2006 and will continue to hold the event there until at least 2009 (the dates of the event will be February 6- March 4 each year)."
Since when does a single conference's basketball tournament take up nearly a month?
[edit] Name of article
While WP:NC states the most common name should be used, I think "Time Warner Cable Arena" IS the name of the arena and CBA is the "nickname". I believe the article should be un-moved. Every stadium article I've seen on wikipedia uses the name of the corporate sponsor. — X96lee15 (talk) 13:25, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
- It's been done, twice! Blueboy96 did it the day the new deal was announced, but for some reason it was reversed, so I did it again just moments ago. This time, it should stick. - Desmond Hobson (talk) 17:47, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
