A LED Sports ticker is a dynamic way to create a sports watching environment. The flexible design lets you integrate the display into the decor of your bar to create a fun atmosphere for people to watch their favoriate games and stay up to date with the latest sports scores, schedules, odds, and fantasy updates.

Yes a lot of this information is on ESPN or whatever station you are watching, but it often isn’t readable from across the bar. The advantage of a scrolling sports ticker is it can be read from 100′s of feet away and with the constant movement it attracts attention from people passing by.

While it isn’t the greatest picture of the scrolling stock quotes on the ticker, the shot does give you a great perspective on the circular design and the atmosphere the LED ticker creates around this mall kiosk for Christian Stanley.
