ESPN’s “SportsCenter” has wrapped up a two-year refresh of its primary home aimed at keeping the show’s presentation engaging as the network celebrates 44 years on the air.
Studio X, located inside Digital Center 2 on ESPN’s campus in Bristol, Connecticut, has been the home of “SportsCenter” since 2014. Last year, phase one of the upgrades to the studio included the addition of 38 million pixels of LED, including a massive 48-foot display, the largest on ESPN’s campus, along with a flexible anchor desk.
This year, the updates targeted the remaining scenic walls of the studio along with upgrading the capabilities of the LED installed last year on the studio’s north wall and floor.
