New York Yankees To Get 5925 Square Foot High-Definition Scoreboard

New York Yankees fans can expect a high-definition treat to go along with their new stadium in time for the 2009 season. A brand new Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Vision HD video-scoreboard measuring a whopping 101 feet wide by 59 feet tall, amassing a total of 5925 square feet will be installed in the new Yankee stadium. The installation is to start this summer and be complete by March 2009, in time for the opening of the new stadium and start of the 2009 MLB season.

The giant HD display will display 1080p resolution, and driven by Mitsubishi Electric's state-of-the-art DSC2 Digital Display Controller, display up to 4 full HD resolution images at once. The display will be the first to use Diamond Vision(TM) AVL-ODQ8 LED's, totally an uncanning 8,601,600 LED lamps.

For comparison's sake, the current Yankee scoreboard, also a Diamond Vision display measures only 25 feet by 33 feet and uses 486,400 LED lamps. Huge difference!
