So it's not actually going to be bigger than the original screen?
Second question: what's up with that remaining "Scotiabank Arena" in front of the big one? Please tell me they're going to remove some of those signs. ?

If you compare the old and the new screen to the smaller Scotiabank Arena sign just above the screen, you can see the difference.
The old screen started just before the small o and ended just before the final a. The new screen goes from before the c to well past the a. The height is also greater as it now fills the area it is in.

Vegas baby.
Maybe screen installers could head over to Yonge/Dundas and lend a hand.

Meh. I guess they just wanted to make it the right aspect ratio and — I'm hoping — higher resolution.

Maybe when its all done they will finally stop parking their Raptors truck at the base of the art work! I think MLSE can afford a garage.

I was curious what is going on at yonge/dundas? Haven't heard anything or seen any posts about that sign reno in months.

I asked around and while I didn't find a concrete answer, it appears as though the 10 Dundas East sign is custom made for that specific curvature and they're getting about a row of LED modules every few weeks. This one at Scotiabank arena is off the shelf modules though the letter masks were made to order.

On second thought, maybe we should wait until it's done.
Here's the rendering. The screen fills the entire space within the frame.
There does seem to be a platform underneath for more LED segments. Or they could be to add windows. I'll have to have a closer look..

I think they are rushing to get something... anything functional for the home opener. They are having the game broadcast in the square.

They’ve started to reinstall the windows around the TV, so it looks like it has realized its final size. Bigger than before, but smaller than the renderings. I’m happy with this.. it means at least some daylight will continue to fill the atrium and PATH connection. Having some line of sight of the SkyDome/CN Tower is also good for tourists and wayfinding.
