DENVER -- The Denver Broncos will light up the scoreboard at Empower Field at Mile High like never before this season - even if the Sean Payton/Russell Wilson pairing doesn't produce a torrent of points.
The team unveiled its mammoth new scoreboard Friday, a day before the Broncos play their preseason finale against the Los Angeles Rams.
The scoreboard is 225 feet wide and 72 feet high, making it the tallest in North America and 70% larger than the old scoreboard. Overall, it's the fifth-largest scoreboard in the NFL.
It's the crown jewel of a $100 million offseason upgrade to the 23-year-old stadium, although it doesn't necessarily guarantee the team won't bolt for the suburbs whenever a new stadium is needed.
