Now the the BoK Center is doing so well do you think they will ever get some big LED screens for the outside? I was by the BoK the other night and thought how cool that would look.
Cue the anti-led billboard light pollution group in 3-2-1.......

They've already got the marquee. I'm by no means anti light pollution, but I think it would be fairly tacky. Detracting from what I already see as a very unique building.

One early sketch had an LED screen o the glass wall support (the horizontal-ish line below the glass which is currently covered in steel)

The marquee outside was supposed to be bigger but the sponsor for it was up their neck in asphalt when it came time to make the payment.

Give some thought as to how well a hotel or residential building would do with a giant 24/7 video screen right outside the window.
It would be a dealbreaker for anyone wanting a view.

Were trying to revitalize downtown, not poison it.
is there any need or function to adding large video displays to the outside of the arena??
oh.. they could sell advertising on them! woo hoo.
Do NOT expect to see live coverage of whatever's happening on the inside.
I'd rather see something like this! I've always thought there was a lot of potential on Boston to do a cool show like this on multiple buildings

That could be a lot of fun in an entertainment district provided it respected a curfew. It's just that LED billboards here dont. Tulsa's billboards are brighter and more loosely regulated than what the national sign industry itself recommends, thanks to some council-level shenanigans a few years back.

The newer one West of the abandoned Safeway off 51 and Denver. That's a killer.
The neon color changing lights on the big glass wall on the south side of the arena are good enough. Nice but not overpowering. I wish they'd fire it up more often, not just for events.

They used to, before they realized how much it was costing them.

As it turns out, even billboards made from "energy saving LEDs" can spin the meter when you start talking thousands of LEDs -- something on the order of 30x the power an average home uses:
