Yes, its a beautiful park, as well as almost guaranteed to be great weather. Great neighborhood and lots to do around the area, as well, so you wouldn't need to go for just the game. I would like to go to more MLB parks. I realized I've only been to 5 (Baltimore, SF, Oakland, DC, Atlanta). I was in Chicago one time and the Cubs were in town and I wanted to see Wrigley, but my stick in the mud family wasn't going for it. On another note, I hope the suck ass Braves with their 85 or whatever wins get swept. I hate teams getting a free pass in the postseason because their champions of a crap division.

RichmondRedskin88 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Can we trade all the Nat fans rooting for Dodgers for prospects and money considerations? The FB group is making me nauseous with the all out cheering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Cardinals fans blaming the manager when their team was 0-11 with RISP is pretty comical. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in Chicago circa 2003, during their run with Prior and Wood. I made damned sure to get to Wrigley--it was amazing. Seeing the outfield wall in person gave me goosebumps.

Momma There Goes That Man Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 5 hours ago, Riggo#44 said: They do. they don’t if the same hit is a home run in 15 parks, a fly out in 8 and a double in 3 more. If Mahomes throws the ball from the 50 yard line at arrowhead and it’s caught for a touchdown, that’s the same result in every stadium. He doesn’t play in Denver and that same pass isn’t a TD because Denver’s field is actually 140 yards long meaning it only made it to the 10.

The individual stadium sizes makes baseball special. It appeals to many people--it's why more people do MLB stadium tours over NFL stadiums. The differences in MLB are much greater and therefore more interesting. Agree to disagree on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Can you imagine all the parks with the exact same dimensions? We'd have 30+ run games in Colorado and Arizona. 😆 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balls hit with the same angle and exit velocity would still have different outcomes, even if the parks were the same dimensions. 318 in right at Yankee Stadium plays like 300. 318 to right in OPACY plays 340 with the wall and wind tunnel effect from the street and warehouse. Drop the wall and it still plays longer than 318. So I don't know how that would work and it certainly wouldn't make sense like it does in basketball, football and hockey. Football has field conditions, weather, lighting. NHL has differences in how the boards bounce and ice quality. NBA is pretty uniform, though. But nobody has ever been like, "Man, i need to get to as many bland corporate NBA arenas as possible." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mammajamma Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 hoping this postseason gives enough push for re-seeding going forward. LA/SF is basically the world series and by far the most compelling series, but its the NLDS.. yikes. on the other hand, i know there are some braves fans in here, but that series has zero appeal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I think baseball should require dome stadiums everywhere with the exact same dimensions along with creating atmospheric conditions to simulate them all being at the same altitude. They should also require every player to swing the exact same way and all pitchers to throw the same 4 pitches. Is a conversation like that really taking place about baseball stadiums? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're paying more in luxury tax fees than they're paying Corey Seager. I love Max and Trea...but I just cannot pull myself to root for the Dodgers. I've tried, so I was glad to see your boys triumph. I also love seeing Oracle Park packed like that--they're some fun fans to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
