It’s all an illusion:

The new scoreboard at CBP is large. But also some sort of illusion with the ads. @CBSPhiladelphia pic.twitter.com/Jgx8ERYqyi

They’ve replaced the 50 foot ads that used to hang off the old scoreboard with digital ones while giving off the impression of the sky and light pole behind it. It’s some straight up David Copperfield shit:

I gotta know how good this scoreboard is at replicating the weather. If it’s gray and cloudy, can the scoreboard reproduce that look? What if there is a beautiful sunset during Golden Hour? Is this scoreboard a five-tool player like Trea Turner, or is it gonna bat .111 like Christian Pache?

Here’s another look at how they’ll be utilizing the board and switching up the ad space while the Phils are batting via @MattWatsonPSN on Twitter: 

Good call on whomever decided expanding the scoreboard was the move this year. They’re going to need every square inch they have to cram Aaron Nola’s ERA in there.
