PARTS OF THE WASHINGTON NATIONALS' new South Capitol Street ballpark have views of the Capitol's dome. But will those who have the premium views be gazing at the city's skyline during the games or will they be looking at the stadium's new giant scoreboard?

The Post's Daniel LeDuc describes the massive board as "a high-definition TV on steroids." Let's take a look at the specs, by the numbers ...

» 101: The length of the new scoreboard in feet.
» 47: The height of the new scoreboard in feet.
» 5: The number of times larger the new scoreboard is than the one at RFK Stadium.
» 102: The length, in feet, of a second scoreboard, located on the outfield wall, that will show constantly updated results for out-of-town games.
