The Nokia Theatre Times Square was designed by the award-winning architect David Rockwell of the Rockwell Group. The venue officially opened in September 2005 and has the capability to hold a wide array of events including concerts, live television, web broadcasts, live recordings, award shows and event parties. The marquee, an 85-foot long LED high definition screen, can display both live and digital video. It is one of the largest marquees on Broadway and is directly connected to the MTV marquee. With its interactive text messaging capabilities and the ability to broadcast events live from the stage directly to the marquee in real time makes it truly impressive to say the least.
