You're spot on. There are white LED lights that will light up the spectator roof a bit (more for safety on the catwalks). The spectator roof and electrical is setup for lights/light display, however there was a decision to hold off on ordering until later in the project so (similar to other components), they could take advantage of the most recent technologies and potential cost savings of these technologies coming down in price. Keeping the project on budget, and because lighting up the roof wasn't part of the initial package (not a necessity), it wasn't completed for this year but will be done.
I was wrong as I remember saying sometime last summer (?) that I was confident (almost guaranteed) there would be a digital light display of some sort installed for game 1. I'm sort of glad they didn't just throw money at getting it done for the first game. That's how you pay too much and settle for the "best" system (basically the only system thats readily available and can be sourced/installed in a short timeframe). Research, layouts, etc will be completed and they'll make a great decision i'm sure.
