I love baseball,but I could give a flying rat's ass about wasting vacation time to check out ballparks.

I saw Cards @ Pirates back in 2006. I liked Pittsburgh's stadium.

/end of story

It's a great stadium but its a stadium. Even on a purely architectural level, there is better architecture in the city.

I've almost completely given up on sports radio. Probably consumed about 15 minutes total in the last 2 weeks. I used to listen all day long.

I recommend the Pistol Shrimps Radio podcast. Two improv comedians that don't know anything about basketball doing play-by-play of a women's rec league team. Strange at first but give it time.

i don't know what you wouldn't...10 years ago or so i was in San Francisco for about a week and was able to check out both an A's game and a Giants game. It was pretty fun. now i probably wouldn't plan a vacation specifically to see a certain park, but if i was in a city with a park i'd never been to, i'd make an effort to go

Speaking of protecting people at MLB games, I'm surprised they still let kids catch popups at the HR Derby.

100% sure that comes to an end soon as 2 kids will collide...came close last night...

As For Leary, he looks at stadiums different from us regular fans....he knows so much more, thus you must value his opinion...

In reality, stadiums are shit. They are close to industrial buildings, whch are block, block, rebar, truss....of course even that is too much of a pain these days...pre fab wall, snap them in...bam...play ball...The emphasis on small party areas is what should be done to produce more revenue, but that costs a little more money....but I am sure Leary covered all this.

Spring training is cool because you get out of the stupid winter and sit in the sunshine. The Sox have a nice set up.

The Sox and Dodgers do have a very nice set up out there.

Paid for the city of Glendale and their residents tax money....then when the cubs got STATE funding via a $1 tax on ALL Minor league ticket sales....Wow was Jerry upset....Theo Ricketts have really outsmarted Jerry during the tenure.

I'm with you Ken. I turned on B&B yesterday hoping to hear some fun bad radio and they where talking MLB needing to protect people who are sitting in the stands. I'm not sure how they have turned this into a daily topic. Yes, people need to be protected at games. Solution, add a screen or plastic glass. End Convo. Move on to next topic. But no they go on and on, on top of their soapbox about the dangers of watching a ball game. I PTFB and listened to some GNR.

To be honest, I could give 2 shits how it was done.

Listening to tranny now.

I honestly think each stadium should have a fruit stand. Its easy to sell, no prep, huge markup.....grapes and cherries....need noshing food at games....

Or you'd have balls bouncing off of kids' faces.
