Loading ...Kansas City Royals fans gave a big thumbs up to the work done on the Kauffman Stadium at their 5-2 home opening victory over the New York Yankees on Tuesday 8th April.
The most noticeable addition is a state of the art scoreboard, which features a 101-by-85-foot high definition screen and a digital-image left-field wall that keeps fans up to date with pitcher stats and scores from other games in the league.
More from The Examiner:
“During the game, one of my friends said, ‘I’m seeing the game better on the scoreboard than I am in person.’ And he was right. It’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen – and we saw it during the day. I can’t imagine what it’s going to look like at night. It just might be the most amazing thing on the planet.”
“It’s worth coming out in the cold and the rain just to see all the cool new stuff at the stadium,” Huskey said. “When we walked up (to the gate) and saw that scoreboard it was like, ‘Wow!’ It’s just unbelievable.”
It wasn’t just the fans who were impressed by the new scoreboard that stands in center field:
“It was pretty cool,” Royals third baseman Alex Gordon said. “I’d catch myself watching it a couple of times during the game, just wondering what was going to come on next.”
