The Mets and Samsung Unveil Starting Lineup of Tech Transformations for Opening Day"},"content":{"rendered":"

With the 2022 baseball season just a week away, New York Mets fans soon will be welcomed back to a newly upgraded ballpark designed to deliver the ultimate stadium experience through cutting-edge technology. Part of a multi-year partnership with Samsung, Citi Field is undergoing a complete digital transformation to create the most technologically advanced stadium in the major leagues.<\/p>\n

As the official display and technology solutions partner of Citi Field, Samsung is working with the Mets both to design and install interactive fan offerings like cutting-edge, high-definition screens, as well as the software and solutions needed to deliver dynamic, crowd-pumping content, entertainment, information and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn opening day, fans will enjoy an elevated game day experience in the Mets iconic ballpark with our one-of-a-kind displays and solutions,\u201d said Harry Patz, Senior Vice-President, and General Manager of Samsung\u2019s Display Division.<\/strong> \u201cWe\u2019re just at phase one, but already fans can see how we\u2019re working with The Mets to transform a once static display environment into a dynamic digital experience \u2013 and what\u2019s even more exciting is that the best is yet to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As they enter the ballpark this season, Mets fans will be greeted by high-definition screens throughout Citi Field that deliver stunning clarity \u2013 even in direct sunlight \u2013 immersing them in the action from any area of the ballpark. Additionally, the number of cameras in the stadium has tripled, meaning more real-time action will be captured from every angle. The ballpark has also been equipped with double the number of slow-motion replay systems, allowing the Mets to immediately deliver fans with endless angles of the players\u2019 pitches, hits and big catches directly to the in-stadium Samsung screens in brilliant clarity.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur partnership with Samsung is a significant investment from our owner Steve Cohen to bring the most state-of-the-art technology to the ballpark and provide our fans an even better experience at Citi Field,\u201d said Mets Chief Technology Officer Mark Brubaker.<\/strong> \u201cThe quality of these upgrades and integration into the daily experience for our fans make Citi Field an industry leader when it comes to the most innovative technological displays.\u201d<\/p>\n

Later this year, Samsung will update the Promenade, Premium and 100 levels ribbon boards \u2013 from the dugouts to the bullpen and even the clubhouse. These are the first steps in a multi-year digital transformation of Citi Field that will also include the Jackie Robinson Rotunda, and in 2023, a dynamic new centerfield scoreboard.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to continue our partnership with such a worldwide leader and iconic brand as Samsung,\u201d said Mets Executive Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer Jeff Deline.<\/strong> \u201cWe are looking forward to our fans enjoying the stadium\u2019s digital transformation with the implementation of this state-of-the-art technology that is going to provide an interactive experience and environment for millions of fans that come to Citi Field for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
