I know I take it for granted and most fans do, but if you spent a life going to Arenas, you expect to see the facility from a mile away with a vast wasteland of 99% empty parking that you will need to cross to get to the building. I think many of these guys just get a different feel from a place that is closer to my condo than the distance that JORR parks away from Gate 4 at US Cell.
old yankee stadium is kind of the same way, however right around the frontside of the ballpark there's an elevated train track right there above a row of sports bars and little food place so it kind of feels like you're right next to lake st as opposed to being perfectly nestled in a neighborhood like wrigley is. i mean there's a neighborhood right there next to it for all intents and purposes, but yeah, it's not as homogenous as wrigley is, especially on parade day!
also there's some kind of your vast wasteland of something on the other side of it that buffers it off from being completely surrounded by a neighborhood.
