The scoreboard is not a rumour. TNSE has stated that is part of upcoming upgrades, I don't recall what the time line is though.
2014/15 - The official return of the "White Out"!!

I don't think they've announced exactly when they're changing out that scoreboard, just that it's part of the upgrades they have planned to have completed by 2020. To me, with the speed of technology evolving these days, it's almost like the longer you wait the better...but I guess if you used that criteria you would never change it.

We shall see. Right now, I have row 3 behind the wheel chair section. My row is like row 1 because of this. The wheelchair area is a drop below like the new loge seats. In most cases my view is excellent but if a companion comes with the wheel chair person that is big and leans forward it can block the entire view of the goal. This cause people in our row to lean forward because they can't see. I'm hoping that this won't be the case with the new loge seats.

New scoreboard coming to MTS Centre as part of $12 million upgrade
The owners of the Winnipeg Jets say they’ll spend approximately $12 million to improve the MTS Centre this summer.
The improvements include a new centre-hung scoreboard featuring bigger and better video screens on all four sides. The new screens won’t be the biggest in the NHL, but fans will notice a huge change, including an upgrade to high definition, Norva Riddell, senior vice-president of sales and marketing for True North Sports and Entertainment, said, Monday. “They’ll be two-and-a-half times bigger,” Riddell said. “It’s just right for our building.” A new LED ribbon board will also show graphics in better quality, while a new behind-the-scenes control room will allow for better in-game production, with more cameras and better sound. The 10-year-old facility will also get more seats: 278 premium, upper-level, loge seats. Riddell says ticket holders in Row 1 of the 300 Level will get first crack at the higher-priced areas, which will include swivel chairs and a semi-private environment for groups of three, four or six fans. “It’s the least we could do for those fans in the 300 level,” she said, some of whom wanted tickets in the lower level but weren’t able to get them because of limited supply and high demand. Loge seat prices will be $134.40 per game plus a $500 premium seat license fee added onto the full season package.
In addition, seamless glass will replace the mesh railings in Row 1 of the upper level, improving visibility.
The improvements, coming on the heels of washroom and concession upgrades in the upper level last year, are part of an ongoing investment in the facility, Riddell says. The work will be scheduled to take place around concert and other events next summer. www.winnipegsun.com/2015/01/26/new-scoreboard-coming-to-mts-centre
