Did you know that Albina played a key role in bringing the Denver Broncos' massive new scoreboard to life?

As part of a $100 million renovation at Empower Field, Albina provided 20 pieces of Tube Steel measuring 16” x 12” x .375” WALL A500 GR C, rolled the easy way to a 978-foot radius. These precision-rolled components helped form the structural support for the stadium’s brand-new scoreboard.

Standing 225 feet wide and 72 feet high, the scoreboard is now the tallest in North America and 70% larger than the previous screen. In fact, it's ranked as the fifth-largest scoreboard in the NFL, offering fans an even more immersive game-day experience.
