The outfield walls and other padding were BLUE (complete from that whole makeover from the 1980s). There were NO ads on the wall - instead, it was the championship "banners" and "banners" from the teams in the National League. Very view ads outside of the Scoreboard and Diamond Vision screen were even visible anywhere in the ballpark.
And even the TV broadcast was visibly clean (except for the graphics and logos that SNY attached). I just love how simplistic the graphics for going to commercial were in those days. There wasn't a lot of chatter on the broadcast. You could HEAR the ballpark (and the organ playing "charge" when a player stepped out). And the music played before a commercial break was soft elevator music. Just so different from today's games.
