This season, fans at Fenway Park will be able to see the Red Sox under a brighter spotlight at night. After months of planning, the historic park got a makeover with new LED lights Sunday, according to a press release from the team.

A helicopter was used to install the lights, with the project beginning around 7:30 a.m. Sunday morning. The previous lights were installed in 1982, and had “long surpassed their life expectancy.”

The old lights took around 15 minutes to warm up and replacement pieces were becoming too hard to find.
