OH MY GOD THE NEW REGIME IS DYSLEXIC

OH MY GOD THE NEW REGIME IS DYSLEXIC

 

That explains why they are trying so hard to set themselves up for the 2021 playoffs.

[J.R.]

So we're announcing "strike out" and "home run" in screaming fonts now? I'm starting to hate it before the first pitch.

 

It is extremely frustrating to look up at one of these boards expecting valid statistical information (ostensibly their sole purpose while play is under way) only to see some silly animation for the baseball-challenged.

i'll only be annoyed if it starts telling people to "make some noise"

That stuff doesn't bother me at all. I've always seen it as a good way to get kids involved in the game, and I'm OK with that.

[C.C.]

Agreed. Kids like that kind of stuff. I see no harm in it.

I really like that! Fit's nicely.

[J.R.]

I will give them credit for agreeing with me on this one front. From the other thread:

 

I wish they would standardize the fonts used within the ballpark. Use the same style as is on the original scoreboard, and render the characters in white on a green background.

 

It's a wonk's argument, but they can configure these boards any way they wish. Consistency here would really tighten up the presentation.

I also like the Otis Shepard scorecard-inspired graphics. Now if only they would bring the upper deck boards into compliance ...

[Soul]

It looks really good, actually. I love it.

Also classy: the deal allowing the rechristening of the bleachers as belonging to Budweiser apparently didn't include exterior signage:

Not so good: this Advocate ad and the Vegas ad on the aisle door nearest the Cub dugout (not pictured) are terribly distracting and out of place, especially given their proximity to the well-done, subtle Citibank ad in the same area.

There is also a new ad on one of the right field corner pads, but I didn't get a direct look yesterday and there are no pics yet available.

[El Duderino]

have to say, this turned out way better than I expected. very well done.

[Clem Fandango]

My buddy said he read somewhere that "Save Ferris" was displayed on the LED board at some point during the game yesterday? I haven't seen or heard anything of the sort, so it might've just been rumor, but I found that to be mildly humorous

Do you mean the Target ad? I think the Target logo is where the Under Armor logo used to be.

[J.R.]

No, the Target ad is on one of the smaller outfield doors. The Under Armour logo remains, and if memory serves their agreement runs concurrent with the Soriano contract.

 

The ad I referenced is on the brown padding on the wall that runs parallel to the RF foul line.

Nah. The Under Armor is still there. There used to be nothing where they put the Target logo.

There is also something on the door in left center. "Revis" or "Bevis" or something.

I had a glimmer of hope that the Cardinals would become less whiny after TLR left. But alas...

I finally went to a Cubs game last night and saw what you were talking about. The ad is for Tervis Tumblers, those weird insulated cups that keep drinks warm or cold.

I was there last night too, they actually changed the signage on the door. For the first home stand it was simply their name in lettering running up the door.

Just like it's not necessary to use caps. Let the kid be.
