Wrigley Field's Center-Field Scoreboard-- Part 4: How To Make It Matter Again

LIGHT IT BRIGHTER--  Cubs executives say they are exploring this option because the center-field board no longer appears bright enough.

TWEAK THE BACKGROUND COLOR ON THE VIDEO-  At night, the color of te video boards appear to be a lighter, brighter green than the dark "Wrigley Green" of the scoreboard.  The two should match, forming a seamless whole.

DISPLAY THE SCORE OF THE CUBS GAME MORE PROMINENTLY--   Replace the word "batter" with "score" and display the score below it.  Fans could still see the inning-by-inning score in the lower-left corner of the board, but they could quickly see the score without having to add up the totals from each inning.  The "Batter" designation is outmoded because of a wealth of information about the batter is available on the left-side video board,

But, by all means, leave the old scoreboard.

Next, how'd you like to work in Big Green?
