Scoreboard installed at new Yankee Stadium
A huge scoreboard has been installed as work on the new Yankee Stadium in New York continues.
The scoreboard is 59 feet high and 101 feet across - five times the size of its predecessor - and features a high-definition display, reports New York Daily News.
For hungry fans there is good news too, as the concourse areas in the new stadium are double the size of the old ones.
Those that like watching their baseball in comfort will be pleased to hear that the seats are now an inch wider and have between 3.5 and 9.5 inches more legroom.
The stadium is expected to be opened in April 2009 and replaces the old Yankee stadium which was built in 1923.
It will cost around 500 times more to be built than the original stadium did making it the most expensive stadium ever in the United States.
In global terms, only Wembley stadium in London cost more.
