rvrdgsfn Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 When I first saw it, I was thinking the Marlins, but this would be an awesome ballpark for the Rays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJM Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Pretty sweet concept even though its for the Rays.

ZapRowsdower8 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I heard on the radio yesterday that the Rays are going to put their $150 million up right at the start instead of over the original yearly increment plan. I hope this gets done. Looks like it could be an awesome stadium and the Rays have great young talent, should make for a fun atmosphere. My soon to be wife, only 3 months left of the single life, is looking to doing her residence in Tampa and I need some major league ball back in my life.

BaltimoreFan Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Interesting design, hopefully they actually build this. As the author mentioned Florida would probably be a nice place for a stadium. Yet the state's two teams own perhaps the two worst stadiums in the bigs. It would certainly make it easier to watch Devil Rays games on tv (I hate watching the O's play either @ Tampa or Toronto. The domes are kinda depressing.)

-Helix- Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I have no hate for the Trop. But maybe I've always been partial to it because it was the old home of the Bolts. I guess it did make a better hockey arena than a baseball stadium. Hopefully it doesn't kill the St. Pete Grand Prix. It would have to be re-routed though. (Maybe past my apartment!

Erik121 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Hopefully they will keep the parking free. That was my favorite thing about the Trop, besides Checkers fries of course. That building is just too big and gray for baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Tropicana Field is great if you like to watch baseball being played in a mausoleum. The new stadium looks great. It's what a Florida baseball stadium should look like. I hope it becomes a reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero3001 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 What are the consequences of having a white roof while playing baseball? I can only think about what they originally tried to do in the Astrodome. White baseball plus white roof equals dropped baseballs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epiphanic Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Ask the Twins. I bet it'll turn to somewhat of a homefield advantage for the Rays. They'll need all the help they can get.

McCall Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Anything is better than the abandoned Home Depot the currently play in.Though it seems the sole focus in the outfield is on the Hoist Tower. Looks like they didn't spend much time thinking about anything else out there. Just some seats thrown in place and a generic scoreboard in left. I really hope they get this done, but also that they spend a little time to make it look good. Quote https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evobost Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I think it is awesome how close it would be to the water. The actual design of the place I don't know about, it looks kinda not baseballish, maybe thats the point I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it would only really be a problem during bad weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC97 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Now we need Cisco Field to go through in Oakland and then we can close the book on the cookie cutter dual sport stadiums in baseball. Except for Toronto, which I don't think they have any plans to build a new stadium anytime soon. I can live with the Rogers Center though.I never considered the Rogers Centre cookie-cutter... the giant restaurant in centrefield and the hotel built all around the scoreboard save it from cookie-cutter status.

But, mainly, they need to cut the infield as if it were a grass field, like Tampa Bay does. The dirt only around the bases just looks bad nowadays. Once Minnesota has their new park, Toronto would be the last ones with this type of field cut. It's time for it to go.
