d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Holy crap, I wonder if Best Buy has these in stock yet... Giving You the Score, Plus a Whole Lot More http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/03/03/AR2008030302710.html?g=1 View Photo Gallery Big Board Will Be a Hit, Team Says Stadium Races Toward Opening Day In the time since officials formally broke ground on the Washington Nationals' new stadium, the ballpark has risen steadily along the Anacostia River in Southeast Washington. The massive new scoreboard at Nationals Park is like a high-definition TV on steroids. And although that might not be the best word to associate with baseball these days, there is no getting around the size of this monster. Set for its first public viewing today, the screen is the equivalent of a 1,300-inch television -- more than five times as large as the scoreboard at Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium. Other than the game on the field itself, it will be the centerpiece of the fan experience at the 41,000-seat ballpark. Live action, instant replay, images, graphics, statistics -- all there. And the programming is brand new, so the high-tech features will have the same freshness as the $611 million stadium, where the Washington Nationals will host their regular-season opener March 30 against the Atlanta Braves.

expensivegift Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I'm really happy about the new HDtv. RFK's screen just blew. Verizon Center also got HDtvs and it made a huge difference with the way you watch the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACW Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Ugh, it's not 1300, it's the diagonal, which via Pythagorean theorem (the square root of <110 squared + 47 squared>) is 119.6 And even if just 110*47 it'd be 5170 :geek: :geek: :geek: Still looks very :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tizzod Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Holy mackerel! That looks amazing. Really looking forward to getting to the ball park this year! (Even though I'm one of the rare few that will really miss RFK.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playboy1972 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I will miss RFK too somewhat. But this stadium is only in its infant form. After say 3 years that area is going to be something special. The thing I like most about a downtown park is you can hit some of the area bars and get some happy hour specials of ale and appetizers. In due time people....in due time. http://jdland.com/dc/stadium-event-080304.cfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcnativenerd Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Well, I don't care how big it is! If it helps the Nats get a winning season, I'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
