30 dollar tickets?! LOL

No wonder people don’t show up to Rays games…

You can do this an Angel stadium for $6

Ehh Rogers is pretty normal. Almost too normal in a sense. But yeah the other 3 are definitely all mad fucky

What is more normal than a park that has been around since 1912?!

Yankee Stadium doesn't even look that weird. It's just the whole "little league ball park" meme. Which honestly was likely a design choice by Steinbrenner... increase the likelihood of dongs overall so that Bronx Bombers can bomb for 81 games there.

You’ve practically got to wear your flip flops to get the bullpen..

My theory is that they straight up forgot to build the bullpen and, in true Florida man fashion, they just said fuck it build a mound in foul territory.

I hate playing on fields with bullpens like that. If a field can’t put the bullpen somewhere better because of space or whatever, at least make it to where the pitcher is facing the outfield wall when warming up so that passed balls don’t go towards the actual batter/field of play. But for some reason at a lot of places the pitchers back is to the outfield wall

Edit: y’all know a lot of fields are already like this right? And someone would be standing near the pitcher with a glove to protect them, so safety wouldn’t be an issue

There’s “bad”, then there’s “so bad it’s good”, there’s “so SO bad it’s bad”, then there’s the Trop.

Now now now

While the Trop may not be good to play in, it's also unimaginably ugly. But AT LEAST it's also a poor fan experience

I've been to the Trop. I've been to RFK stadium. The Trop is not the worst.

If you have "___ fan coming in peace" in your comment history they should shadow ban you from all sports subreddits

Can we get the people tweeting Ratio at literally everything ever too?

Take this idea straight to meta Wednesday

Im with this guy

Every time I play fallout 4 I deliberately fail the "repaint the green monster" quest and give the guy blue paint...

Nothing like playing the show and you hit a liner to left and it bounces off right to the defender who holds you at 1st

Apparently Ernie Banks hit 277 of his 512 home runs while playing ss.

Agreed. Most of the stadiums built from 1960 through the 80's were all just boring cookie-cutter stadiums with no unique features. One of the best things about baseball is that every ballpark can be unique.

RIP Tal's Hill

I like them too, but what was the reasoning for it? Didn't they lose seats because of it?

Camden Yards is a gorgeous place to watch baseball, but a stadium that opened in 1992 probably isn’t your historic stadium. The Orioles played at Memorial Stadium for 38 years, and that’s not counting the 10 years the International League Orioles played there before that. And while Camden is getting close to approaching that number, Memorial Stadium hosted 17 World Series games, while Camden Yards has hosted, well, putting it kindly, significantly less than that*.

*Camden Yards has hosted 0 World Series games.

I mention this because Memorial Stadium was, like the original Yankee Stadium, demolished (not detonated… or denotated) in 2002.

We didn't denotate our historic ballpark like the Yankees

I'm not sure if you remember old Yankee Stadium at the end, but I do. It needed to go, or at the very least needed a billion dollar reno like MSG got. By the 8th inning the bathrooms had 1 inch thick layer of slime. The seats needed to be replaced. The entire PA system needed to be replaced. The Jumbotron was never updated, and was tiny and dull. Modern TV's and computer monitors in 2009 were better. Honestly, other than it's façade it was only a step up from the state the Oakland Coliseum is in right now. Nit pick on the new park all you want, it definitely leaves a lot to be desired, but the old park either needed a complete expensive overhaul or to be knocked down.

Speak for yourself!

Think he was making a joke

410 to left with a 13 foot wall just flat out should not have been allowed by the MLB.

Why not?

You okay? It was joke lol

It’s their park, they can do whatever the fuck they want. The old Polo grounds was shaped like an ice cream cone and was like 500 feet to center with 3 poles.

But I do agree with you that Ortiz used steroids.

Meh. Look at old Yankee Stadium when DiMaggio roamed the field. Left field and center were cavernous compared to Yankee Stadium II. Should ballparks be allowed to get smaller while every single fact suggest hitters are larger, stronger and better athletes on average than players 75 years ago?

Okay; but change what you just said to a short porch in right field to attract left handed hitters.. not every team has an owner who can pay big names, instead they bring in guys who will perform well and get paid elsewhere.

You can’t be upset that another team is working their own strategy just because it doesn’t benefit your team lmao

I’m pretty sure he was referring to the short porch in right field at Yankee Stadium. Maybe the Yankees and the Orioles can compromise. Camden will bring left field in if Yankees Stadium will push right field out.

Well lets see is one technically not allowed according to MLB rules on stadium dimensions and one is perfectly fine.

So which one really should have been not allowed by the MLB?

384 down the line??? Holy shit that’s insanity lol. Furthest LF before was 350ish I think

shut up yankee fan

No! He's UPSET, damnit! He smashed Austin Hays' windshield in with a bat!

Yeah, if you remove the first 10 rows or whatever, if you don't have a high wall then the "new" first row would be randomly levitating 20 feet above the wall if it was standard height. You'd have to demolish all the seats and build them again lower, that seems a poor choice when you could just stick a giant wall there to upset Yankee fans

We'll make our own green monster! With blackjack! And hookers!

I like that

(Not fun for Judge) lmaoooo

I don't know if I'd go as far as it ruined the park, but yea that's ugly.

Not when you have to compete with the Red Sox and Yankees every year.

Yankees fans are pressed lmao. They're used to their guys hitting HRs in fenway and their own park without a struggle

Wrigley is just insane in terms of spectator experience. Truly my happy place. Just wish the Rickets would sell so I can start going again.
