THE BIG SCREEN AT HUDSON YARDS

Have you seen the 30-foot Big Screen at Hudson Yards? It features the most watched international sporting events including Tennis Grand Slam Championship Majors, Golf Majors, Basketball Playoffs, Hockey Playoffs, and cycling events.  I recently stopped by to watch a bit of the US. Open, and also did some shopping at the stores inside the mall.
