CBS2 Exclusive: New LED Lights Set To Illuminate Yankee Stadium

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Yankees fans are about to watch games in a whole new light.

As CBS2’s Sonia Rincon reported Thursday, new LED technology will change the game both in person and at home.

Chopper 2 got a first look Thursday night at the stadium after dark – with the field illuminated by brand new LED lights.

In the light of day, they look like small square panels — nearly 1,400 of them around the edge.

Stadium Operations Vice President Doug Behar said the new lights will upgrade the viewing experience at the game and on TV — with a truer, more natural-looking light.
