The New York Mets' New Scoreboard Is So Laughably Gigantic (and Beautiful!)

The start of the 2023 MLB season is thankfully almost upon us, with every team set to play on Opening Day next Thursday in what should be a fun day for baseball.
This season is going to look different, as there are a lot of new rules that will have immediate impacts on the game.
While the bases will be bigger this season, there’s something else that is going to be a lot bigger - the New York Mets' new scoreboard at Citi Field. The team showed off its new toy earlier this week and a bunch of reporters got to see it first hand on Thursday.
Check this thing out:

I mean, that thing is HUGE!
The team broke it in with some Mario Kart, because why not?
Fired up the scoreboard for the first time. Did we do this right? 🎮 pic.twitter.com/BOqWY6HQAu
