The changes include the following.

Three walkways will extend 16 feet from the north, west and east sides of the stage so that the entertainer can get closer to the audience.
There will be more stage surface outside the turntable, making the stage look and feel larger.
More video (LED) screen space will be added for more video and graphic opportunities.
New header video screen will be placed above eight main video screens for more informational opportunities during the rodeo action.
New vertical video screen will be placed between eight main video screens to alert fans to important calls during the rodeo action (broken barriers, penalty flags, etc.).
Video screens will be placed around the bottom of the stage during the concert to allow performers more video integration.
There will be full-motion video screens behind the entertainer/band to allow entertainers to customize the video and other backgrounds.
