The [Wednesday] PapersIn January, the Tribune published a giddy story headlined "White Sox Believe Scoreboard Project 'Will Change Game Experience.'" On Tuesday, the "centerpiece" of the project was unveiled - and the giddy Tribune was there. But Baseball Prospectus's White Sox correspondent Chris Lamberti has a different, more important take today: As the White Sox take the field for the home opener this season, new outfield video boards will gleam and sparkle above them, and we will be awed. Go read the rest. * I don't mean to pick on the Tribune - I'm not sure any other local media really picked up on this angle. For example, Danny Ecker reported the story this way for Crain's in February: "The experience of going to a Chicago White Sox game is about to drastically change, and it has nothing to do with what's happening on the field. "The three massive video boards going up this offseason at U.S. Cellular Field are not just a much-needed upgrade from the antiquated dot matrix boards the publicly owned stadium has sported for more than a decade. "They're also going to allow the South Siders to showcase sponsors, stats and video, and to interact with fans in real time like never before." Only at the end of his story did Ecker add that "Chicago taxpayers are to thank for the improvement." - Adventures In Tax Avoidance Seemingly related: BP Can Take Big Tax Deduction On Big Chunk Of Its Oil-Spill Settlement.
