The video board replaces a manual scoreboard and spans the length of the 21-foot-high Clemente Wall in right field. Pirates also released a video of how the board looks in its new home:

PNC Park upgrades have been a point of contention between the Pirates and the Sports & Exhibition Authority. The team threatened legal action against the authority in December over its refusal to pay for upgrades to PNC Park, including the out-of-town scoreboard.
