The scoreboard used to be an afterthought. Whether you were sitting in the stands at an NFL stadium or in a college natatorium, the scoreboard was there to give you the essential information — game clock, race time, score, possession — on the event at hand. That's changed as venues at all levels are now upgrading to high-tech video boards. Unlike their point-tallying predecessors, today's video displays can stream high-definition video, broadcast replays and prompt engagement from fans through social media. And the technology is now available at price points accessible even to high schools. Here's a look at some of the things to consider if your facility is in the market for a video board:

Size
Choosing the right size video board for your venue is as important as picking the right size TV for your living room. The display should be big enough for fans and athletes to see but not so big that it upstages the action on the field. Most display providers offer a range of sizes and some can even customize a board to fit your specific space and budget.
