The broadcast will feature American skating icons that have combined to win more than 200 medals at Olympic, World and National Championship competitions such as Evan Lysacek, Nancy Kerrigan, Sasha Cohen, Brian Boitano, Sarah Hughes, Peggy Fleming, Scott Hamilton, Kristi Yamaguchi and Dick Button.
ANC's event side signage enabled us to give a completely new look to skating," said Jerry Solomon, President and CEO of StarGames. "The flexibility within their system gave us the opportunity to enhance our lighting package, match costume colors, highlight sponsors and inform the audience in a way that would have been impossible with static signage."

“We are extremely pleased to be able to enhance the entertainment and sponsor experience of the Caesars Tribute spectacular,” said
ANC’s staff set up, operated and broke down the entire signage system for StarGames. Additionally, ANC Design, the creative division of ANC Sports developed all of the content for the displays, including over 120 graphics and full motion animations.
