NEW YORK — Just four days into the new year and the crystal-embellished ball falling from above A Times Square without an important element.
The numbers for 2023 have faded, raising concern among Times Square-goers and potentially the world over the fate of the celebrated annual icon. The sphere itself has become a year-round attraction, shining Crossroads of the world from January to December, before the new numbers arrive to bring next year.
So what happened to 2023? You’ll be happy to know that there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong.
A spokesman for Times Square Alliance confirmed that the 2023 numbers have been removed due to construction A Times Square. They are believed to be in a safe location, although more information is expected to be released by building representatives later that day.
In the meantime, if you missed this year’s pitched ball, we’ve got you covered. Relive the moment in the player above.
