Cbus Super Stadium, home of National Rugby League (NRL) team the Gold Coast Titans, has been fitted with two new LED screens that are almost three times the size of its old displays.
The largest of the two screens measures 175 square metres, with the second measuring 120 square metres. They will debut when the Titans take on Melbourne Storm on March 18.
The screens replace the smaller displays that were fitted when Cbus Super Stadium opened in 2008. The new displays are more energy efficient than the 60m2 models they have replaced.
