TBGKon Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 I saw everyone flipping out about this, but it's probably nothing more than a protection to play in events in London, Mexico, etc.. It probably wouldn't happen annually, but its a provision to allow for it. Wouldn't surprise me if more teams had this built into lease agreements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this seems like much ado about nothing other than wanting to make sure they're in on some of the future international games to expand their brand. 1 Quote https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really see it in the center field view: I know it's the Rays and lol attendance but I see so much wall where I expect seats to be. Maybe it's an optical illusion from the roof support beams splitting the grandstand into little micro-pavilions but this just looks like a really big and expensive undertaking for 30,000 seats. This rendering makes it look like they're going to retrofit a convention center to host baseball. They're hosting the Yankees one week, and the National Association of Suburban Dentristy the next. It has no character. This could be a convention center in Peoria. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 It seems like they're pushing it as a concert venue which can also hold other events (LIKE FINAL FOURS AND WRESTLEMANIAS!!), and additionally squeeze in 81 Rays games in per year. Probably not the worst idea, but we're going to have to start creating more Final Fours to accommodate all the amazing stadiums that get built for them. 1 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The leagues need to stop going to Las Vegas. For once, can we have a league that won't put a team in Las Vegas? Why does Vegas believe that they are big enough to hold 4 major league teams?
