• Visualizing the upgrade impact: A simplified example would show before/after capacity metrics for the video boards and the DAS network, plus a timeline highlighting key events (preseason Giants vs. Jets, 2025 season, 2026 World Cup). If you’d like, I can generate a quick chart or storyboard to illustrate these changes.
