=== Sports venues === Captioning systems have also been adopted by most major league and high-profile college [[stadium]]s and [[arena]]s, typically through dedicated portions of their main [[scoreboard]]s or as part of balcony [[fascia (architecture)|fascia]] LED boards. These screens display captions of the [[public address]] announcer and other spoken content, such as those contained within in-game segments, public service announcements, and lyrics of songs played in-stadium. In some facilities, these systems were added as a result of discrimination lawsuits. Following a lawsuit under the [[Americans with Disabilities Act]], [[FedExField]] added caption screens in 2006.<ref name=wp-captionsredskins>{{cite news|title=Redskins Ordered To Continue Captions|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/10/02/AR2008100201989.html|access-date=20 July 2015|newspaper=Washington Post|date=October 3, 2008}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.proskauer.com/alert/fourth-circuit-holds-ada-requires-expanded-access|title=Fourth Circuit Holds ADA Requires Expanded Access to Aural Content in Stadiums|date=April 4, 2011}}</ref> Some stadiums utilize on-site captioners while others outsource them to external providers who caption remotely.<ref name="espn-stadiumcaption">{{cite web|title=Lifeline for hearing-impaired at ballparks|url=https://www.espn.com/espn/page2/story?page=lukas/110607_stadium_closed_captioning|website=ESPN.com|access-date=20 July 2015}}</ref><ref name="arepublic-captioning">{{cite news|title=Cards provide captioning for deaf at stadium|url=http://archive.azcentral.com/community/glendale/articles/20131014cards-provide-captioning-deaf-stadium.html|access-date=20 July 2015|work=The Arizona Republic}}</ref>
