    Default So the Lightning are getting Tesla coils installed in their arena

    Two of them will be installed:
    St. Pete Times Forum renovations adding new spark to Tampa Bay Lightning games - St. Petersburg Times

    "Project planners wanted no one to forget they are in the home of the Tampa Bay Lightning. So they installed two Tesla coils (named after their late 19th century inventor) to make indoor lightning. The Doc Brown-inspired coils will zap 25-foot lightning bolts high above the ice. The Chicago Museum of Science and Industry has the coils in an exhibit, but this is said to be the world's largest permanent installation. Let's see the Carolina Hurricanes beat that."

    Video of one of the coils:

    This puts the Kings castle to shame.

    From the sound of it, they could be using them as a goal "horn."
