In addition to trying my first 5-way this past weekend while in Cincinnati, I also found time to do some other Cincy things. My favorite of which was heading down on Saturday night to the Great American Ballpark to watch the Reds take on the Cleveland Indians. I hadn’t been inside the ballpark in a long time and I was happy to see all of the changes that have been made, especially the new giant LED scoreboard. The picture on this high-def screen is incredible and is a huge improvement over the old scoreboard. Here are a couple of pictures, the first of the old scoreboard, and the second is of the new.
I wish the new picture was from the same angle as the old, but you get the idea. The new scoreboard has amazing color compared to the old one. Notice that all of the old advertising has been moved from the bottom to both sides of the new scoreboard. You can see in the old picture that there is a video screen on the right side, but now the entire scoreboard can be used for video display. In the foreground you can also see one of the new smaller ribbon boards that were also installed throughout the stadium to replace the old and outdated. I’m happy to see that the Reds are continuing to make changes to their great ballpark.
