A Bigger View of the Kernels’ Action

How desperate am I for good baseball news?

Suffice to say I’m really excited to see the Cedar Rapids Kernels new video board go up!

The old video board was installed when the current stadium was opened over a decade ago… here’s a picture from last summer:

And here’s the new board!

The new video board replaces not only the space that the old video board took up, but also one column of advertisements to the right of the old board, as well as the old electronic “line score” section of the scoreboard. Of course, it also takes up the space at the bottom of the old line score section where the “pitch speed” was found. Sure hope they find a spot for that somewhere!

Now… I can’t wait until there’s actually some baseball highlights being shown on that board!
