Diamondbacks Take Issue with Dodger Stadium's Use of New LED Lights During Opener
The new lights at Dodger Stadium are getting mixed reviews.
As the Los Angeles Dodgers earned an 8-2 Opening Day win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday, the flickering LED lights overhead became a significant story among the players and managers.
"I loved them," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said, per Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times. "The lights were amazing. In the middle of a play, we got a little aggressive with the dimmers. But better them than us."
The mid-play flickering got the most attention, notably after an RBI single by Will Smith in the fifth inning.
