BULLPEN JAMBOTRON SPANGRAM: STADIUM My rating: Hards My score: 2 hints 

I managed to scrape through todays search without any knowledge of baseball 
apart from Field of Dreams and League of Their Own  not that either movie had 
a JUMBOTRON  and needed two hints to complete the search. 

One of the things I find most annoying about watching live sport on TV is 
crowd shots and in particular that moment when a fan is just about to spot 
themselves on the big screen as someone close to them taps them on the 
shoulder and the camera cuts away before we see their reaction. 

That said, if you ever take a child to a live game in a STADIUM this will 
often be the thing that excites them the most. Not the world class athletes 
performing in front of them or the thrill of being in a crowd, no itll be the 
Mexican wave and the moment they almost appeared on the jumbotron.
