Here she is in all her glory. If you hate the industrial advertisement complex buddy do I have the scoreboard for you:

The Phillies turned the god damn scoreboard into a NASCAR jumpsuit. In the one picture you can see Hatfield Meats, Temple Health, Rothman Orthopedic, Chick-Fil-A and Herrs all squeezed together with IBX as the advertising cherry on top. The old scoreboard had maybe 3-4 ads at any given time. They’ve increased their ad output on the right field fence by 66%. Not to mention since it’s all digital now they’ll be cycling through those bad boys all game. The dorks in marketing responsible for killing Dollar Dog Night are probably stroking themselves over the CPMs they’re going to be pulling in during the playoffs.

You’ll never believe it, but Phillies fans already hate it:

Listen I love getting mad at the Phillies as much as the next guy, but I feel like people are getting mad at the new out-of-town scoreboard just to get mad. Are out-of-town scoreboards actually important during the playoff runs? Who doesn’t have a phone with a score app in 2024? Are you so locked into the game that you can’t miss a pitch? Enjoy your ice cream helmet. Do we need every single millisecond at the ballpark to be used efficiently? Who are we fucking David Goggins? We have bigger fish to fry anyway. We have a 10 billion square foot mega-scoreboard that doesn’t even show a players batting average. Can we fix that before we start worrying what’s going on in the Blue Jays vs. Rangers game in the middle of July?

P.S. Just imagine all the revenue the Phillies are going to make to pay free agents now that they’ll be maximizing every single inch of the right field wall.
