    Hey, Jason...liked your article. While I do like the bigger screen and less prominent advertising than the old scoreboard, I have to agree with several of your comments. I do not care for the Tigers script lighted sign at the top, and agree it mimicks the Indians very closely. Although this is a classic baseball lettering style (almost every Little League team in the country uses the tail underneath design), I actually perferred the sharp lines of the previous scoreboard and the undualation of the lettering. My least favorite takeaway was the loss of the clock; I thought they really took away that nostalgic scoreboard feel when they decided to nix that from the new design. Bigger isn't always better...I've been to the Yankees new stadium and I don't care for much of what they did there, especially the gigantic plain jane scoreboard they put up; it has no character whatsoever. Maybe that's what I miss most about the new Tigers scoreboard vs. the old one--not as much character.
