Black Rectangle Thing on the Upper Deck Facade

(Sorry if this should be in a different forum)

At the game last night and noticed the big black device on the upper deck facade behind home plate. What is it for?

That's a device using facial recognition to identify every fan, what they eat, how many beers they've had etc. Facebook installed that a long time ago.

The terrifying thing is that I really have no idea if you're kidding.

As long as my girlfriend doesn't get hold of this info I'm cool with it.

MLB installed it using software that makes sure every fan is sitting in the correct seat that they purchased.

 

If not, then robot ushers will be deployed.

I believe that is the radar. A picture would help but I am fairly certain it is the radar either for statcast or the radar gun. If it looks like the car radar for lane departure and auto pilot then it is definitely for statcast.

I saw it at a game I was at earlier this year, pretty sure it's either the new radar system they put in place last year or used for stat cast would be my guess.

Is this thing we are referring to on the loge level?

It is above the loge level attached to the facing on the bottom of the upper deck.
