Chuck Salter of FastCompany.com recently toured the new facility and the first thing you notice is the sheer size of the 193,000 square-foot building (you can see the full video below).

The entire building looks amazing, if not a little bit overwhelming with monitors and lights everywhere, including this wall of monitors which ESPN is not even sure yet how they will use.

At one point, with two anchors rehearsing, this wall of screens displayed a single image with the positioning of the monitors providing depth to the image.

Everything has lights including the off-camera stairs. Guests will need sunglasses.
