1. In combination:a. a structural member having an edge; b. an electronic sign enclosure including a rear panel and a top panel, the rear panel having spaced opposing upper and lower brackets on a lower portion thereof, an access panel on an upper portion thereof, the upper and lower brackets being attached to the edge of the structural member; and, c. a rail, the rail being secured to the top panel. 2. An electronic sign enclosure having a rail which can be secured to an edge of a seating deck or balcony and act as a barrier, comprising:a. a rearwardly facing enclosure surface having an access opening therein; b. a series of upper and lower brackets located along the rearwardly facing enclosure surface, for securing to upper and lower surfaces at said edge of the seating deck or balcony; c. an upper enclosure surface attached to said rearwardly facing enclosure surface and extending forwardly of said rearwardly facing enclosure surface; d. a rail located along and attached directly to said upper enclosure surface; and, e. the rearwardly facing enclosure surface and the rail together being of sufficient height and strength to serve as a safety barrier to prevent people from accidentally falling over the edge of the seating deck or balcony, and said access opening in said rearwardly facing enclosure surface permitting access by maintenance personnel on the seating deck or balcony. 3. A barrier and electronic sign enclosure combination suitable for use at a leading edge of a seating deck structure, the combination comprising:a. an enclosure including a front panel carrying an electronic display which, when the enclosure is mounted to the leading edge of the seating deck structure, will be directed away from the seating deck structure so as to be viewed from in front of the enclosure and the enclosure further including a top panel; b. a rail generally extending to the end of the enclosure mounted directly to the top panel of the enclosure and, when the enclosure is mounted to the leading edge of the seating deck structure, providing a sight line from the seating deck structure over the top panel of the enclosure and under the rail; and, c. the enclosure being of sufficient height and strength to serve, when mounted to the leading edge of the seating deck structure, as a safety barrier to prevent people from accidentally falling over the leading edge of the seating deck structure, and the rail having sufficient strength and extending above the top panel of the enclosure a sufficient distance to provide increased height and strength to the safety barrier to further assist in preventing people from accidentally falling over the leading edge of the seating deck structure. 4. The barrier and electronic sign enclosure combination of claim 3, wherein the front panel is removable.5. The barrier and electronic sign enclosure combination of claim 3, wherein the rail is tubular.6. The barrier and electronic sign enclosure combination of claim 3, wherein the rail is U-shaped.7. The barrier and electronic sign enclosure combination of claim 6, wherein the ends of the U-shaped rail are threaded.8. The barrier and electronic sign enclosure combination of claim 7, further including nuts engaging the threaded ends of the U-shaped rail and thereby fastening the U-shaped rail to the top panel of the enclosure.9. The barrier and electronic sign enclosure combination of claim 3, wherein the enclosure further includes a rear panel.10. The barrier and electronic sign enclosure combination of claim 9, wherein the rear panel has an access cutout.11. The barrier and electronic sign enclosure combination of claim 10, wherein the access cutout is covered by an access panel.12. The barrier and electronic sign enclosure combination of claim 11, wherein the access panel is removable.13. The barrier and electronic sign enclosure combination of claim 10, wherein the access cutout offers access to the electronic components housed in the enclosure.14. The barrier and electronic sign enclosure combination of claim 9, further comprising upper brackets on the rear panel for secure attachment to an upper surface of the seating deck structure.15. The barrier and electronic sign enclosure combination of claim 9, further comprising lower brackets on the rear panel for secure attachment to a lower surface of the seating deck structure.16. The barrier and electronic sign enclosure combination of claim 9, further comprising upper brackets and lower brackets on the rear panel for secure attachment to upper and lower surfaces, respectively, of the seating deck structure.17. The barrier and electronic sign enclosure combination of claim 3, wherein the enclosure further includes opposing end panels.18. The barrier and electronic sign enclosure combination of claim 3, wherein the enclosure further includes a bottom panel.19. The barrier and electronic sign enclosure combination of claim 3, wherein the top panel includes channel stock.20. In combination:a. a seating deck structure having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a leading edge, the upper surface having a plurality of upper mounting plates secured thereto along said leading edge and the lower surface having a plurality of lower mounting plates secured thereto along said leading edge; b. an electronic sign enclosure including a front panel adapted for mounting an electronic display, a rear panel, and a top panel, said rear panel having a plurality of upper mounting brackets and a plurality of lower mounting brackets; c. a rail for preventing accidental falls of people from the seating deck structure, the rail being mounted to the electronic sign enclosure; and, d. said upper and lower mounting brackets on said rear panel of said electronic sign enclosure being respectively attached to said upper and lower mounting plates on the upper and lower surfaces of said seating deck structure along said leading edge of said seating deck structure with a line of sight being provided from the seating deck structure over the top panel of the electronic sign enclosure and under the rail. 21. The combination of claim 20, wherein the seating deck structure is concrete and the pluralities of upper and lower mounting plates are cast into the upper and lower surfaces, respectively.22. The combination of claim 20, wherein the upper mounting brackets are welded to the upper mounting plates and the lower mounting brackets are welded to the lower mounting plates.23. The combination of claim 20, further comprising an electronic display mounted on the front panel and directed away from the seating deck structure and wherein the rear panel has an access cutout, the access cutout being covered by a removable access panel, the removable access panel being above the upper mounting brackets and offering access through the access cutout to electronic components of the electronic display which are housed in the electronic sign enclosure without separating the electronic sign enclosure from the seating deck structure.
