LosMediasBlancas Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Does anyone know how you go about getting a message up on the scoreboard during a game? Do they charge by the word?...# of lines? Do they let you know roughly when the message will come up, or do you have to look for it all game long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goober Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Commemorate a special occasion by displaying a message on the U.S. Cellular Field centerfield scoreboard during a 2006 White Sox season home game. Scoreboard messages are available for a $40 donation to Chicago White Sox Charities. Messages can be up to 75 characters or less including spaces and punctuation and are displayed during the third inning. https://secure.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/cws/fan_f...eboard_form.jsp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 Thx. Only during the 3rd inning? How about the rest of the messages they show all game long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's been the standard release for at least 10 years. They go on all game until they are done. They do have a limit though, so call and reserve soon.

mreye Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I did it for my wife the day of game, but that was a few years ago. I'm sure it's much busier now. One thing I didn't like ws they wait to take the photo until after the game (so they can have it all lit up) and put up a bunch of fake stats. The game we went to the Sox lost 5-3 or something. The picture has them winning 21 - 19 with Thomas at the plate and battine .453. It kind of makes the photo look cheesy, but I'm sure I'm the only one that notices.

I have one from a few years ago that has Maggs BA at .350, game in the third inning, and the score 5-0 Sox. I also have one waaaay back with Fisk batting.
