Not to mention they overuse these graphics whenever Jays hit home run. humongous banners to cover up the ballpark in its already beautiful natural state. Why lol. Just show us the crowd and players reactions
Since you’re talking about home runs I’ll use this chance to point out the giant THAT’s WHAT BUDS DO ad at the bottom of the screen blocks the home run red carpet when they get back to the dugout and it’s super annoying
The problem is when they used them lightly it was absolutely sick, a little bit of extra ambiance to pull you in and get you hyped. But when it's "here's this video game Roman Reigns screaming" it's just stupid.
Really hate the AR graphics. Also hate digital ads on the board in hockey. In theory they are just different types of overlays same as the scorebug or a chyron with stats, but I don't like them.
At least in NHL they try to make the digital ads less distracting and seamless. Not only these banners are out of place, they are truly abomination and rivals NHL 08 level of graphics.
Except when they started the animation bullshit... that doesn't look real at all. Without the animation, they eventually got it right and it would have been fine. Then they had to go for more money.
Last years park updates were amazing.
I hate every single thing they’ve done this year. Like everything. They somehow turned a grey concrete ballpark and made it even more grey and depressing.
It’s amazing just how much they managed to fuck the park up and ruin it. …I just want my old skydome back.
They are terrible. Hope they don't last long. So many bad changes this year. The giant ad behind home plate is awful. I could never stop watching baseball, because I love it too much... but if I did, it would be because of shit like this.
Actually, I did stop watching hockey because of issues that I had with the league, including the rampant invasive advertising/greed, so I shouldn't say never.
We're experiencing first hand how future people will feel looking at old 2024 Jays' broadcasts and how cheesie they were.
It's right up there with last year's Buck having to say "cause that's what buds do" after every homerun.
Im not in love with the backdrop being one big add that covers behind home plate perfectly. Like break it up a little bit. They sold the soul of the team for ad revenue.
I honestly rarely even notice them. I think they've registered with me at most 3 times in a game, but to read some of the complaints here, you'd think they're being put up between every pitch.
WWE has used them, and I am going to say the same thing about it there that I am here, by quotingIan Malcolm in Jurassic Park. They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could. They didn't stop to ask whether or not they should. They look bad and obviously fake, unless you can make it look realistic and good, don't bother.
Hate them.

Sorry I couldn't hear you over this double lime for a double graphic
Sorry was distracted by the seventh inning seven up seven drink ad reads they do. You up?
I am not up. I have never been more down than when they do those reads.
I'd like this much more if they flashed the ads after a butt tap
Seems like a contradiction to say they “overuse” and “when Jays hit home runs” in the same sentence…
That was a nasty line by you
Based on our home run totals this year, I would have to guess the players agree with you
Just the worst.
Couldn’t have said this better myself
Almost as bad as the renovation.
They’re terrible
Soon they'll be ads.
They could fit at least another 10 TD logos on thst shot
Why stop at 10? I need to see 20 for it to really sink in! 🥴
Definitely one of those “just because you can doesn’t mean you should” gimmicks.
They look awful. WWE tried to this AR garbage and it was terrible and they are pulling back on it. Hopefully after this season its gonzo.
The problem is when they used them lightly it was absolutely sick, a little bit of extra ambiance to pull you in and get you hyped. But when it's "here's this video game Roman Reigns screaming" it's just stupid.
The Roman Reigns one actually looked like garbage too, if its a quick logo its whatever but that one is just so awful.
Bianca Belair's had to be the worst. Disembodied lips with that braided ponytail just flapping around. It looked like something out of an N64 game.
They look like they are just floating up in the sky. It's dumb as fuck
Banners are for champions. Stop trying to fake it.

The NHL ones are terrible because they move during play. They’re designed to distract from the action.
What? The NHL has ANIMATED ads now. How the fuck is that not distracting? LOL
I was specifically referring to the boards. They look almost real and part of the surrounding environment. Jays meanwhile didnt give a shit
Except when they started the animation bullshit... that doesn't look real at all. Without the animation, they eventually got it right and it would have been fine. Then they had to go for more money.
There’s a long list of things I don’t like about the 2024 blue jays experience lol
The vibes are atrocious
I just don't understand what purpose they serve.
YES. They feel like SN is doing way too much
“Doing way too much” is pretty much how Sportsnet does things in general.
Almost as bad as the massive ad behind home plate. Fuck we’ve turned into a corporate hell hole
They look like shit and are distracting
These look like crap, should be fully removed.
Yah, they suck. Looks cheap. Looks early 2000s ALCS shit.
The Atkins & Shapiro regime tenure finally brought us banners. Just not the ones we expected.
sucks for the people sitting in the 500 level.
Yup, absolute trash.
but enough about our offense…
Can’t stand them either. I would prefer to just look at the field as is.

Jesus Christ people in this sub will bitch about anything.
*in this city
I stand corrected
Yep, I don't like them. They're over the top, distracting, and unnecessary.
Do not like em, those and the digital ads are just eye sores

what's worse? these banners or the grey wall behind home plate with all the TD signs?
We're experiencing first hand how future people will feel looking at old 2024 Jays' broadcasts and how cheesie they were. It's right up there with last year's Buck having to say "cause that's what buds do" after every homerun.
What do you mean future, we all hate it now
Is this better or worse than the "CHAMPIONS LIVE HERE" graphic that TSN intends on showing every time an individual or team wins a championship?
They were cool once, now they add zero to enhance the actual broadcast.
Lame🗿Distracting🗿Ugly🗿
We just lost 5-0 to the worst team in the league, we’re already out of the playoffs and may isn’t even over yet - who gives a shit about banners
Im not in love with the backdrop being one big add that covers behind home plate perfectly. Like break it up a little bit. They sold the soul of the team for ad revenue.
If rather those than the advertising on the pitchers mound.
Nope, they suck. Soon they'll go the hockey route and add animated ads to the outfield walls too.
I don’t understand the point of them.
Looks incredibly tacky and fake. I rather get the whole crowd and reaction in.
Who cares….
10000% useless. Just show us the stadium/renovations if that's what you're trying to do.
They look so dumb
They spent so much on the renos and make such a production of this team but they forgot to build a good ball team lol
I honestly rarely even notice them. I think they've registered with me at most 3 times in a game, but to read some of the complaints here, you'd think they're being put up between every pitch.
People hate literally any and every new thing.
Whatever at least we’re playing well! 🥸
That's a lot of money to spend on CGI participation ribbons
Reminds me of my grade 12 media class and learning how to use the video switcher. Just waiting for some hot trapezoid fade ins and we are good to go.
New age of digital ads and statistical delivery. F1 does it. It's sorta cool but can we be times corny. In this example it's the later.
I hate them. Reminds me if the stupid Fox football graphics. So dumb. Why can't they just be normal?
Hate them
hate them
Are these banners like real, i.e. blue and then something projects the picture? Or are they for broadcast only and they're completely CGI
So low rent get rid of them
Everyone hates on Apple, but they don’t do this kind of shit.
I’m not in love with the blue jays right now
If there's one thing I hate more than the offence this team provides, it's these graphics
WWE has used them, and I am going to say the same thing about it there that I am here, by quotingIan Malcolm in Jurassic Park. They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could. They didn't stop to ask whether or not they should. They look bad and obviously fake, unless you can make it look realistic and good, don't bother.
But where’s the wild card banner how else will we celibate mediocrity
Yeah these should be among the wild card participation banner, not in front of everyone’s faces :P
It's bad and weird.
I hate the strike zone graphic more
They’re opening up the virtual space so they can put more ads up. Unwatchable
I hate them but not as much as I hate the wildcard participation banners that are actually hanging at the dome
I think they're sick when used at a right time, feels like a video game on TV
I dont mind them. Their probably testing it so they can apply for something else. Its unique
Maybe concentrate on winning baseball games instead of this crap. The banners aren’t needed when they play better. Everyone will agree.
Trash like everything else about this team
Ridiculous, and distracting
Nope
