Royals to have world's largest scoreboard in 2008

[chisox]

Maybe they should spend the money on players?

The Kansas City Royals and Daktronics announced today that the world’s largest high definition (HD) light emitting diode (LED) video display will be installed at Kauffman Stadium prior to the start of the 2008 Major League Baseball season.

Daktronics HD-X LED technology will be installed in a huge outfield structure behind center field measuring more than 100 feet high by 85 feet wide, topped with the familiar Royals’ iconic golden crown. The LED display will contain more than 1800 full-color lines of resolution.

I see the Royals are using thier luxury tax money from the Yankees wisely.

[nnysiny]

cool, now every time they sell out the stadium, the people in the last row can see the scoreboard.



oh wait....

[Reggie Smith]

Great. Now they will be able to see they are 20 games out of first in HUGE NUMBERS!

[26 and counting]

Look at the line score. Ozzie Guillen can't be thrilled.

"At over 100 feet tall, the scorebaord will be taller than the starting lineups of the roayals and thier opponents combined."

Huh?
Is it safe to assume that the "average" baseball player is 6 ft tall? If so, I get 108 ft. between the 2 starting lineups.

nitpicky, i know

Maybe they were considering the Red Sox as their opponent. Dusty brings the average way down.

Either that or they were taking the measurments at the next Houston Toros vs. Chico's Bail Bonds game.

That could suck for anyone who is coming up in the 8th inning and has struck out 3 times.

[CallOfTheCrow]

and the balance of power in the AL Central has suddenly shifted.....

Anything that pisses Ozzie Guillen off is ok in my book.
