LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A new naked-eye 3D video board was unveiled Monday outside Derby City Gaming's soon-to-be-opened facility in downtown Louisville.
The 90-degree wrap-around screen consists of two screens that stand 25 feet tall and span 60 feet across. Its unique display is one of only six in the country and the only one of its kind between New York City and Dallas.
