08:18 AM ET 11.16 | Though Safeco Field isn't all that old, its video board is in for a significant upgrade. The new display will be entirely a video screen, and will stretch the entire width of the center field bleachers where Safeco Field's current scoreboard is mounted. At 201.5 feet wide and 56.7 feet tall -- that's 11,425 square feet -- the video board will be 10 times the size of the current video screen when it's installed before the 2013 season, according to the Mariners. The viewing area will be the equivalent of about 2,182 42-inch flatscreen HDTVs, the M's said. That will make it the largest board in all of Major League Baseball. And it measures even wider than the humongous display at the new Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Now they need to install some decent hitters into their lineup.

Spending that kind of money on a new video screen almost tells you that the Mariners are going to bring in n high profile free agents which in turn puts new rear ends in seats to help pay for both.

now they need to add some tough bonuses to every player salary,, more motivation and better physical condition,,,,,every player should make 200 pushas one round,then move to the batters box,,,whoever makes the most pushas should get more money to their account!!!

In Seattle we don't go after free agents we build them and send them out to the world.
As long as Hamilton isn't looking for more than 5 years I think Seattle would be a great fit as we just passed marijuana legislation. Not sure if it's his drug of choice but it's there.

Nice.
MLB hasn't legalized pot yet, so it would get him suspended when he got caught, but it might mellow him out a bit until then.
