Construction has begun on the installation of the new video board at Blair County Ballpark

Workers started to disassemble the current structure in early March to prepare for the arrival of the new 1,000 square foot video screen

The installation of the new video board, one of the largest in all of minor league baseball, was announced in January as part of over $1 million in privately-financed improvements to the eight-year-old ballpark before the start of the 2006 season

Blair County Ballpark was the venue for the
2006 Eastern League All Star Game

The new 1,000 square foot video display board will be part of a larger 81’ x 38’ structure which will also include a new LED line score display and a new multi-color LED message center
By comparison, the existing structure is 66’ x 38’ and houses a 280 square ft. video board (20’ x 14’)
The massive new video board will be nearly four times the size of its predecessor

As part of the installation project for the brand-new structure, the original video board, which was part of the construction of Blair County Ballpark in the late 1990s, will be moved to the right-field corner of the ballpark, above the Curve bullpen area

This auxiliary video board will provide Curve fans with increased and in-depth statistical information, such as pitch counts, expanded player and pitcher stats, out-of-town scoreboards and much more
