The Phillies announced plans for a new 4K HDR (high dynamic range) scoreboard that’s scheduled to be ready to use by Opening Day 2023. The new scoreboard will replace the current one in left field.
The last scoreboard revitalization project came in 2011 when the team installed a Daktronics LED HD scoreboard along with a closed captioning system. Aside from some necessary technological updates, “Phanavision” has largely stayed the same since the opening of Citizens Bank Park in 2004.
The team says fans visiting the ballpark next season will be able to experience ” …better viewing angles and short distance viewing like never before.”
The new scoreboard is expected to be 77% larger than the current display. The team claims that the new “Phanvision” will be able to display 516 life-size Phillie Phanatics simultaneously.
The Phillies also announced plans to build a modernized control room to manage the system.
