TD Garden Quietly Upgrades LEDs

Usually arenas upgrade their technology during the off-season and a press-release gets the fans all hyped up. Boston had other ideas in mind though. It would appear that the Bruins removed the lower 360 'old school' signage during short break between preseason and the home opener to the 2013/14 season. For the first few games a bare wall with brackets could be seen where the old back-lit signs were once hung in a continuous circle around the arena bowl.  It likely went less noticed due to the fact that the Garden already had one LED ribbon board one level up. Now the Bruins are sporting a brand new second LED ribbon board that wraps around both sides of the arena, stopping only for the out of town scoreboards on the ends.

Old advertising panels have been removed.
