Yankees in HD
Today it was revealed that the Yankees will be putting a 5,925 square foot HD Diamond Vision scoreboard in the new stadium. It will be Major League Baseball’s first true high-definition scoreboard. The Yankees decided to go with the Diamond Vision brand due to their long relationship with Mitsubishi (which dates back to 1983, when the company installed the first Diamond Vision screen in baseball for the Yanks.) The new screen has 8,601,600 LED lamps and is almost 101 feet wide and 59 feet tall! Compare that to the current scoreboard and your jaw will really drop. The scoreboard that sits at the current Yankee Stadium has 486,400 LEDS and measures 24.9-inches X 32.8-inches. Just imagine how big the new one is compared to that. It is going to be awesome. The scoreboard will be able to simultaneously show several things including the score, videos, and different stats all in brilliant HD. The Yankees definetely went all out on this one, as this is the latest and greatest out there at the moment; I am sure it cost a pretty penny, but then again with current ticket sales they can afford it.
