Last Monday, patrons of Legends Bar in Long Beach, Florida had the chance to watch the New England Patriots battle the Miami Dolphins on the largest television projection screen in North America.
The 326-inch projection screen made its debut during Monday Night Football to a packed house, the Long Beach Post reports.
At 24 feet by 13 feet, the screen takes up almost an entire wall of the bar, dwarfing the 220-inch screen mounted nearby. Using an LCD overhead projector, the bar can broadcast the biggest games in crystal clear, 1080-pixel picture.
Sports fans who connect their own entertainment systems to an HD-TV, LED monitor or HDMI projector can experience larger-than-life games right in their own homes.
The screen reportedly took three months of planning and one week of installation. Brackets had to be mounted to the frame of the building to support the screen’s 1,000-pound weight.
“What we’ve tried to do is maintain the tradition and raise the bar,” Legends owner Gene Rotundo told the Post. “It’s costly, but I think that’s what we’re known for. That and the buffalo wings.”
