speedy Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I always though the Citgo sign was from a local gas stationNope. Side view of the sign which is just on top of a building.The sign is massive though. You see it before you even see the park.I live down the river a bit (not in a van) next to the Garden which is about 2 or so miles away and I can still see it clearly. It is indeed massive.

RoughRiders99 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Principal Park, home of the Iowa Cubs, have the Iowa State Capitol looming behind the CF wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Wrigley Field had a cool skyline until they put giant televisual billboards in front of it. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosrs1 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Always thought Canada's only other MLB affiliated team, the Canadians at Nat Bailey Stadium in Vancouver, BC had great skyline behind the wall with Queen Elizabeth Park there. Not buildings obviously but some very fine tree specimen representatives of Pacific NW (or west in Canada's case). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosrs1 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I would go with my top 3 as...1) SF2) PIT3) MIAThe rest are all pretty :censored:ty.Skylines? SF doesn't really look at any skyline other than McCovey Cove and the warehouse on the other side of it (and very distantly Oakland. Miami being enclosed like it is doesn't really have a view of anything at all.Pittsburgh however I'll grant you. Of all parks PNC probably has the best skyline view of any park in at least MLB if not baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Zephyr III Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Makes me sad that in comparison, the views for both Nelson Wolff Stadium (the San Antonio Missions) and Zephyr Field in New Orleans are kinda crap. There's been talk about a downtown baseball stadium if San Antonio hops up to Triple-A and I'd hope it'd be positioned to look at our skyline.

bosrs1 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Not the most spectacular, but very California. The Diamond in Lake Elsinore home of the Padres High-A affiliate Lake Elsinore Storm has a great view of the Temescal Mountains beyond the outfield fence forming its skyline.Reminds me a little of the old Oakland Coliseum (only bit better), before it became what is probably the worst view in all of baseball with Mt. Davis looming over the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I like the panorama of Kauffman Stadium, but wouldn't apply any superlatives to it, other than maybe "most Denny's in the background." ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001mark Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I like the panorama of Kauffman Stadium, but wouldn't apply any superlatives to it, other than maybe "most Denny's in the background."I like it also, though to be fair, it really just looks like a giant highway rest stop on steroids. Nice highway though. @2001mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 but I still think Whataburger is a hilariously bad corporate name,I can see that but it's good eats and they are all over the place in Texas so maybe I'm just used to it. For me, University of Phoenix Stadium in Phoenix but not named for Phoenix or a university in Phoenix is the single worst stadium name.Smoothie King Arena tops both.

BBTV Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Franklin FieldNot sure when this pic was taken, but today you should see the under-construction FMC tower in the foreground, and the core of the CITC next to Comcast 1, which will dominate this view when it's completed in a couple of years.If the rumors of Cira 2 surpassing CITC in height come true, then the view from a little to the right will blow this one away.
