The new Yankee Stadium contains the worlds largest HDTV--a 103 by 58 foot, 1080p HD Mitsubishi Diamond Vision LED display.
I guess you can pull out all the stops when you spend $1.3 billion on a stadium.
Here is a photo of the screen taken during a recent test:
The new scoreboard:
- Is 6x larger than the screen at old Yankee Stadium
- Is embedded with 8,601,600 LED lamps (covering a total of 5,925 square feet)
- Can put up to four simultaneous images, with picture-in-picture capabilities
Some fans are worried that the screen will overshadow the game itself. Since it's located at the same height as the stadium's second deck and seems to occupy a quarter of the whole outfield façade, this seems quite possible. That is prime viewing position for nearly everyone inside (including the players), and it's only natural to continually glance over at a giant flickering thing rather than the serene pastoral slowness of the game.The screen in old Yankee Stadium:
