The 6,500 sq m double-sided videoboard, The Infinity Screen by Samsung, at a Los Angeles stadium was blank from before kick-off until the third quarter of the game.

The giant halo LED screen at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles remained blank for much of the NFL pre-season game between the LA Chargers and the Dallas Cowboys at the weekend.

The Infinity Screen by Samsung was blank from before kick-off until the third quarter of the match as a result of an outage with the “internal broadcast system”, according to a report on the Sixteen:Nine blog .

Once the display had been restored, the stadium’s social media team jokingly tweeted that there had been a problem with adjusting the antenna.

Whew! Fortunately we found the right antenna frequency. ???? pic.twitter.com/Wz5sXe4zWR

The 6,500 sq m double-sided centre-hung videoboard is said to contain the most LED ever used in a sports or entertainment venue, and to have the largest LED content playback system ever deployed .

With nearly 80 million pixels spaced 8mm from centre to centre, each panel can be individually or congruently programmed with statistics, live and/or animated content. The videoboard’s size and shape make it wider than the field of play and it can be seen from anywhere in the stadium.
