Disgraceful stuff.

Maybe too much time spent in the brand new players palace (clubhouse). What a waste of money.

The near future: Bettin' there will only be minor impacts on players... but John Schneider was seen at a local copy shop with his resume in hand.

I know it still has a lot of work to do on it(just clean the exterior please!), but can't deny that building has a lot of life left in it if it's taken care of.

The stadium cost almost 600M (1989 dollars) to build - the notion of casually tearing it down when there still so much life left just does not compute.

100% agree! I also wonder if in the long term the design will come back in Vogue. Obviously it's not beautiful like the old style of Camden and the like and certainly not as is, but people seem to be moving on from that 90's trend now with newer stadiums. Plus with some updates to the exterior, new windows, new canopies for the ground level, outdoor spaces, more trees would really change the vibe from the outside while keeping that iconic SkyDome look everyone has come to know since 1989.

I doubt it - the design issues are very real - but complaining about it and screaming for a new stadium instead of reuse and improve is redolent of first world problems.

"When teams start putting in premium seats everywhere, it's just a less enjoyable experience for the folks who are often the biggest fans and can't afford it."

Some valid points but I am also realistic about it. It's corporately owned, their goal is to make money. They don't have to cater to the masses, just the ones they know will pay for it.
 
The area he shows st 8:20 is not a premium area. It's the new, field level accessible area though it sure is interesting that, as far as I can tell, there is one person with a walker and no one else who needs to be sitting there.

This is something I've noticed in general and it's pretty disgusting. I think people are getting the seats on places like StubHub and the stadium doesn't really have a way of policing it.

One of my hangups.
