Portland Trail Blazers debut new video board ahead of 2025-26 season

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The Portland Trail Blazers gave a first glimpse into the newly upgraded videoboards inside the Moda Center on Thursday.

The project began in May of 2024 and is just one of the many updates that the Blazers hope to tackle at Moda over the next few years. Dewayne Hankins, the President of Business Operations for the Portland Trail Blazers, emphasized that they wanted “every fan to get the opportunity to have a better angle and view. They will primarily be used for stats, but since they are modular, they can be used for even more.”

Hankins did not share what updates they plan on doing next, but did hint that they were interested in the possibility of hosting either an NBA or WNBA All-Star weekend in the future.

Some of the updates include new endzone boards that have more than 7,500 square feet of LED screens and a bigger center-hung board that has increased in size by 56%. It will allow people on the court or sitting close to the ground to be able to see content and replays better.

The Capital Project Manager, Tyler Wall, added that the main goal was to “enhance the fan experience and elevate things to a more modern standard. We did tour other arenas, but our endzone boards have a unique style and configuration, so we were able to make this our own.”

The Blazers will host their regular-season home opener on October 22 against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
