New Freeway Marquee Lights the Anaheim Sky Anaheim, CA – The construction is done and the testing is complete, and today marks the official lighting of Anaheim’s newest landmark. City officials and Arrowhead Pond executives “flipped the switch” on the 95-foot-tall, state-of-the-art marquee sitting alongside the Orange (57) Freeway, one of the busiest freeways in Orange County. The marquee will promote upcoming events at the arena, such as Mighty Ducks games, concerts and sporting events. “I am thrilled at this announcement; this has been a project in the making for 14 years, and we couldn’t have done it without the support of the City of Anaheim,” said Tim Ryan, president and chief executive officer for the Arrowhead Pond and executive vice president and chief operating officer for the Mighty Ducks. “This new marquee continues the rich tradition of showcasing first-class sports and entertainment in Anaheim and Southern California.” Among its many features, the marquee has a Pro-Star® double-faced LED color display 24 feet high by 35 feet wide, showcasing vibrant images and more than 1 billion color shades. To coincide with the victories at the Arrowhead Pond, a victory icon will illuminate following wins for the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim and other teams wishing to call the Arrowhead Pond home. A glowing white ring will outline the trademarked globe atop the marquee. "This marquee is a testament to the outstanding partnership between the City of Anaheim and the Anaheim Arena Management team," said Anaheim Mayor Pro Tem Richard Chavez. "Millions of Southern California drivers each year will learn about the events happening at one of our City's most recognizable and noteworthy facilities." Four partners are featured on the new marquee: Orange County Register and Miller Brewing Company face northbound traffic and Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) and Toyota of Southern California face southbound traffic. From start to finish, the marquee took eight months to construct, and an average of 64 millions cars are expected to see it driving northbound and southbound along the 57 Freeway per year (Source: CalTrans).
