stadium clock

Arena time display

A stadium clock is the large timekeeping display at a sports venue, showing game time, period, and often the score.

The term appears in sports commentary when time becomes critical: All eyes were on the stadium clock as the seconds ticked away.

By extension, any prominent countdown display at a public event.
