If you’re a sports fan, you know how important it is to catch every moment of every game from your favorite teams. While TVs offer about as much as most sports fans need, others may require additional screens for multiple games, and/or other trinkets to help you get in the spirit when game time comes. One classic that we all wish we could take home with us is the JumboTron or a giant set of screens that often hangs above sports arenas.

The mini JumboTron is made with four TV screens, featuring a decorative, themed housing to hold them all. It looks just like a real JumboTron you’d see at hockey, basketball and other sporting event games, but it’s much smaller to accommodate your space.

The JumboTron can be made to have all four screens play the same thing with a four-way HDMI splitter, or you can have them playing different things with multiple streaming devices, sports stations or smart TVs.
The mini JumboTron is offered in two different TV sizes. You can either buy what the company calls the “MicroTron,” a mini JumboTron made for 24-inch TVs, or the “MacroTron,” which is made for 32-inch TVs.

On why the mini JumboTron was first conceptualized, founder Mike Bihlmeier said he was looking for the perfect item to hang above his pool table in his man cave.

When he thought a JumboTron would be perfect, but couldn’t find one made for households online, he tried making one himself and shared the process to TikTok where he received some attention for his design. Finally, he created the Mini JumboTron company.

In addition to selling the mini JumboTron outright, Mike and the company offer plans for a do-it-yourself miniature JumboTron at a much lower price. The purchase of the DIY JumboTron guide comes with an instructional video and complete plans for building the unit yourself.
