2/20 New Stadium Update

These pictures came from Flickr member B'lynJacquelyn. As you
can see the analog clock has been installed in left field, and
the installation of the padding on the walls is just about complete.

B'lynJacquelyn also posted two videos that can be viewed here and here.

There will be another photo update later tonight.
I'm just waiting on some pics.

Awesome. When is the total construction of the stadium complete?

It was supposed to be done on the 17th, but I guess they're a little behind.

Doesn't look like there is that much left to do, though.

Hmmm... I really love the clock idea and placement making the board asymetrical. But I think they did the design bad. The clock itself should be a square - it would stand out a lot more. That yelloe of armitron looks a bit loud too. This of course is going to depend a bit on what the rest of the ads look like on the board. I must say I'm a little scared its going to look at bit like the ad circus the yankees had going at the cathedral. Hopefully they keep them off the walls and off the deck faces.

I don't like the yellow Armitron sign either.

It looks like a place that would have even more history than the old one. There target should not be Feb 17, it should be April 3. because it needs to be done by then.

Greg Cohen said...

Yea Liam, I'm really loving all the old pictures around the place. It's a very nice touch.

***Remember people, there will be another update later tonight.***

Hay Will,
Your right, the armitron sign on the clock looks stupid.

If this stadium is ok, the Fenway park is a dump.

Just a thought regarding the scoreboard. On the left field side there is now the clock and the Yankee sign (although the sign is sometimes washed out in the photos by the blue sky. We'll see if thats the case in person). I was thinking that it may be nice to have the right side of the scoreboard with 3 sections of the upper deck frieze with the Top Hat Symbol enbedded in the middle, much like the 2008 All Star Game sign over the old out of town scoreboard. I think it would finish off the scoreboard with a nice touch. Just a thought.

Not a bad idea rpb.

Greg, just curious, how big will the update be? 2 pictures, a video, what? If you're not sure it's okay.

Greg Cohen said...

About 20 pictures.

Brian Danuff said...

Awesome.

Greg Cohen said...

They're posted.

They did technically complete construction on 2/17 as the "keys" were turned over to the Yankees on that date. There is still (very obviously) work going on. It smells all nice and new too, I don't have "smell-o-vision" on my camera, unfortunately.
