VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - A new clock and scoreboard is coming to Pacific Coliseum. It costs $1.3 million, weighs close to 18,000 pounds, and features a state-of-the-art video board. Final touches are still underway, but it should be installed in time for the Memorial Cup, which begins May 18th.
The clock replaces the previous scoreboard that was installed in 1984. It's also part of a series of renovations that are taking place at the Coliseum leading up to the 2010 Olympic Games.

As you can see, not only is there a centre video board but there are secondary smaller one-sided video boards on the sides of the stadium.
