LED Mesh to Bring Heat-Bulls to AA Arena Exterior

Paul Steinbach Headshot

Call it a mesh pit. As many as 10,000 fans are expected to crowd two city blocks outside AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami tonight to watch Game 5 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals on a 3,400-square-foot mesh LED display.

A2aMEDIA's MiamiMediaMesh measures 80 feet wide by 42 feet high, allowing fans to watch en masse as events unfold inside the United Center in Chicago, where the visiting Heat will try to finish off the Bulls and advance to the NBA Finals. It's the first sports installation of the technology in the United States and the largest such display in the Southeast. "It's affixed to the front of the building where there are windows, and because it's a mesh, you can be inside the building looking out and it does not obstruct your view," says Heat spokesperson Lorrie-Ann Diaz. "It's really cool."
