A giant new HD video board “will tower over left field.”

A big new dose of video advertising is in store for baseball fans at Padres games this year. “Five new ribbon displays will be added to the seating fascia at Petco Park along each baseline and in left field,” says a recent write-up in Signage Today.

“The first baseline will receive two displays, one measuring approximately 3.5 feet high by 238 feet wide and one measuring approximately 3.5 feet high by 126 feet wide. Third baseline will also receive two displays, one measuring approximately 3.5 feet high by 255 feet wide and one measuring approximately 3.5 feet high by 126 feet wide. The left field grandstand will receive one display measuring approximately 7 feet high by 130 feet wide.”

In addition, a giant new HD video board “will tower over left field,” measuring “approximately 61 feet high by 123.5 feet wide, covering 7,564.32 square feet and nearly five times the current video display.”
