The out-of-town scoreboard at Citizens Bank Park has received a major makeover in advance of the 2024 season.
Images have surfaced on social media in recent days of what appears to be a fully-digitalized out-of-town scoreboard in right field, and Phillies Nation has indeed confirmed the validity of those images.
It will mark the first major change to the out-of-town scoreboard since Citizens Bank Park opened in 2004. The old-school, video-game like scoreboard in right field had been popular with fans, and it’s not immediately clear what led to the decision to make the change.
A year ago, the Phillies unveiled a new scoreboard in left field, the third in the history of Citizens Bank Park. The scoreboard is 77% larger than its predecessor, and as of last Opening Day, it was the third-largest in the league.
2024 will be the 21st season of play at Citizens Bank Park, which is consistently rated among the better parks in the sport. Affectionally referred to as “The Bank,” the stadium is scheduled to host the 2026 MLB All-Star Game, as the United States of America celebrates its sestercentennial anniversary.
