Although "JumboTron" is a registered trademark owned by Sony, the word "jumbotron" is often used by the public to refer to any such device regardless of its manufacturer or brand name.
The largest JumboTron in use was located at the Rogers Centre (formerly the SkyDome) in Toronto, Ontario and measured 33 feet tall by 110 feet wide at a cost of USD 17 million.
The Rogers Centre JumboTron was replaced in 2005 by a Daktronics ProStar as a part of a stadium revitalization project.
