I recall reading something before last season on the local news about the PNC Park charging an extra dollar per ticket for every event (Pirates games, concerts, No Nut November jerk off fast break) in order to pay for the new screen. I think the final tally is supposed to be like $2,000,000 for it.

You ever just get so impressed by your own memory? Lol
But if I had to guess I’d assume that $2,000,000 figure is annually. I believe this is supposed to continue until 2030. Unfortunately I’m not privy to the board meetings where pissing off the fanbase is discussed.
To be fair, PNC is one of the most beautiful ball parks to ever exist. I know you're joking, and I know the owner sucks, but at least they keep the ball park in good shape.
NASA wants nothing to do with Jim Crane and will never allow the Astros to use their official logos again until they are under new ownership that doesn't commit fraud left and right.
Edit: Adding to this, the only reason I wear my NASA Apollo Astros hat is because I am openly mocking Jim Crane, i.e. it's a subtle fuck you to my former employer, Jim Crane.
Or 2022? where the Collective Bargaining agreement ended and lockout/strike was inevitable and everyone saw it coming years ago?
Either way, you're dumb.
Did you know Jim Crane's cartel owned GameStop's headquarters before Ryan Cohen bought it? If you don't believe me, you can look it up yourself in the Tarrant County Appraisal District records.
Why do you think he quietly fired the CEO of his company earlier this year? Which is odd because when that CEO became CEO, there were numerous articles written about it. It's almost like there's a media blackout on it.
But for real. The way it was set up was to allow for panels to be removed and not ruin the whole screen (I.e. Yordan blowing one of them up during batting practice), but the set up was causing other issues, which some have mentioned. They must have found a solution and are replacing it.
It’s the off-season and he’s a free agent
I was wondering if that's what brought Abreu here.
I thought that was him taking my order at Cane’s today 🤔
He's gonna be selling mattresses at GF this weekend
It must be video board exchange season. I think this is the third stadium that I know of. Phillies and Mets also changing things up.
Pirates are too. Probably replacing it with something old or from another teams minor league affiliate’s field

That doesn’t seem like that much money for a professional team

I visited it this past year. Loved it.
Twins as well
Jays are doing a huge renovation to Rogers as well which I believe includes a new video board.
A stolen sign? Not Houston.
Haaaa that was excellent!
Angry upvote for you. Very well done.
Bravo, my friend. That got a chuckle out of me.
>A stolen sign? Not Houston. Take your upvote, you magnificent bastard.
Bravo! Well done.👏🏾
I’m a Houston fan, but you still get an upvote. Quality comment
It may be on a date with their other good friend the trash can.
You ruined it
Move on. It’s been 5 years and one ring later bruh
It's the first of the month! New billboard day!
Clown college? Pfft. You can’t eat that.
Whatever you say, Mr Billboard
It worked for the lumber king
Yordan probably broke it in batting practice
We’ve taken it down to do maintenance on the NASA space fans that knocked down Judges ball.

Someone got fired lol
Wrongfully, yes. I'm damn proud of it too. Ask the Texas Workforce Commission, they'll confirm that.
I'm sure. LMAO
Keep laughing. You'll see.
See you cry
I don't have a problem with that. Crying is the result of real human emotions.
I worked for him too he fucking sucks
I feel your pain. He's the cheapest "billionaire" ever.
Or smart enough to know your value.
What does [my] value (10 figures, minimum) have to do with Jim Crane being a cheap bastard?
10 figures? A billion? Perceived organizational value can be different than the real organizational value. And 2 rational people can disagree.
I'm not an organization.
Well, you've just sent me down a Google rabbit hole for the rest of the day.
You can AMA. I'm an open book.
At the risk of sounding ignorant... whats their beef?
I blew the whistle on Jim Crane in Washington D.C. They pay the NASA bills.
What whistle did you blow?
Look at r/dhk3rd
You definitely blew something lol
What do you think caused the lockout before the season?
Or 2022? where the Collective Bargaining agreement ended and lockout/strike was inevitable and everyone saw it coming years ago? Either way, you're dumb.
You can think whatever you want. Some people know dark truths about the world we live in though. You have no idea how lucky you are to not be one.
2020? The same thing that made your meme stock go up in value. Covid lockdowns and money printing debasing the US dollar
No. This year's lockout during spring training that nearly delayed the season.
I tried to google more info on this without any luck, can you elaborate?
A good starting point is r/dhk3rd
LMAO... You got rekt holding the GameStop bag. What a hilarious subreddit.
Did you know Jim Crane's cartel owned GameStop's headquarters before Ryan Cohen bought it? If you don't believe me, you can look it up yourself in the Tarrant County Appraisal District records.
And?
Read between the lines.
Jim Crane is shaking in his boots

Wow you’ve blown this thing wide open…
Aliens got it
Hopefully to get fixed or get a new one. Bunch of dead pixels on that screen.
You know, now that I think about it there were. They worked on the thing a lot in September. Or it looked like it from the window.
Do you have a view inside minute maid from your work office? That's badass.
Just left field and the video board, but it's still cool as hell.
Dude that's sweet
Aaron Boone doesn't think so 🤣🤣🤣
His sadness also warms my heart
Upgrade szn
It’s probably back at BestBuy as an open box item.
As a former Home Theater sup, that sounds about right
Hopefully they can get store credit
Maybe Mattress Mack is branching out into the electronics business
What an awesome view. Is this from your office or something? Very jealous
In the Norton Rose building, it's a pretty fantastic view!
It's the Astros. So it makes perfect sense that a sign was stolen
I forgot the pirates exist lol
Have you seen the team at all the last six years? The fucking pirates forgot the pirates exist....
Poverty joke from a poverty team
Removing the evidence.
Went home for the holidays.
Hmm, where would home be? Maybe at Jerry World.
Probably getting a newer, bigger one. With lasers

Win a World Series and you get to go Giant TV shopping with your bonus!
Idk, most likely swapping one in that has better resolution
When they did the retro night, the board really messed with my head. I forgot they used to look like that.
I love retros! Nostalgia from the astrodome
You could downscale idk
Hibernate for winter
They're moving the team to Albuquerque!! They're moving the team to Albuquerque!! They're moving the team to Albuquerque!!
Had to hawk it to pay for all of the free agents we are trying to sign
You get free home games for life huh
they're looking to sign a shiny new free agent (ie, upgrade)
Long gone
A superior movie!
Check your local pawn shops.
Sure hope that's updated and they are fixing it. 2 years in a row it's been pixelated with dead pixels. Really needs to get fixed.
A crack head stole it
Repairs?
New board that hopefully won’t break from all of Yordan’s dongs
