Plans are underway for Phillies fans to experience the latest and greatest in high dynamic range (HDR) video technology, thanks to a new video board that will make its debut in left field at Citizens Bank Park on Opening Day in 2023.
When completed, the new structure will be 77% larger than the current Phillies display, with an increase in size from 97-feet wide by 76-feet tall to 152-feet wide by 86-feet tall. With a 16:9 aspect ratio, the new scoreboard will be able to display 516 life-size Phillie Phanatics simultaneously.
“We are adding a significant ‘wow’ factor to the ballpark experience,” said Phillies Executive Vice President David Buck. “From the scoreboard’s extraordinary technology to its sheer magnitude, our new PhanaVision will enhance our game day experience for our fans in 2023.”
With a 4K capable and HDR system utilizing nearly 11.6 million pixels with 10mm pixel spacing, the new scoreboard will deliver richer colors and superb clarity. Fans will also be able to experience better viewing angles and short-distance viewing like never before. Static signage will be obsolete due to the complete digital transformation of the scoreboard.
The new scoreboard will weigh 116,298 pounds and be supported by 190 tons of structural steel. Installation, as well as the removal of the existing display, will begin during the 2022 offseason. In addition, a modernized production control room will be built to support the enhanced system.
We might have a video board arms race of sorts here. The Flyers built an absolute behemoth of a jumbotron recently, and now the Phillies are going with a 116,298 pound monstrosity. My video board is bigger than your video board!
For some context here, 116,298 pounds is 58 tons, so basically 14 Ford F-350 trucks or three Chris Christies. Heyo! Not fat shaming, just taking a swipe at a disgusting Cowboys fan. Did you hear the new joke? Yo mama is so fat, she weighs more than the new Phillies video board!
It’s always good to modernize. New technology at Citizens Bank Park. Now they just have to adjust the loudspeakers so that they mysteriously “stop working” when J.T. Realmuto walks up to the Applebee’s music. Fuckin gross:
