The New York Mets have announced Samsung Electronics America as Citi Field’s official display and technology solutions partner, signing a multi-year deal to deliver a complete transformation of the famous ballpark’s screens to create an interactive fan experience. A leader in digital signage innovation, Samsung will bring the Mets vision of creating a one-of-a-kind ballpark to life with its unique portfolio of displays, content management platform, and services.

One of the largest single projects in all professional sports, the upgrade is expected to take place over two years. Initial enhancements in 2022 are expected to include new ribbon boards and more than 1,300 LCD screens throughout the ballpark to lead fans to the shortest lines and ensure they don’t miss a single pitch. A larger and enhanced centerfield scoreboard will be installed for the 2023 season at Citi Field.
