Sec19Row53 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 With no good weather forecast, MLB is moving the Indians-Angels series to Miller Park:http://blog.cleveland.com/sports/2007/04/t...eheader_po.html It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Fun Fact: The Indians actually played at County Stadium in Major League. Can we get Charlie Sheen to throw out the first pitch so Bob Uecker can go "juuuuuust a bit outside"? Is this the first neutral-site game since the Marlins hosted the Expos at Comiskey Park? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnWis97 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 That's increadible. I wonder how many people will go to the games. They should play it at the metrodome (I realize the Twins are at home right now...), then you would get some people to come out and cheer agasint the "home" team.With the Twins ballpark plans in jeopardy, I hope this weather does not hurt the effort to get an open-air stadium.

I have a co-worker in from the west coast this week, who is an Angel's season ticket holder. I'm guessing he'll hit the two night games.Timing is everything. It's where I sit.

CC97 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Hell, if the Indians moved this series to Rogers Centre I'd go check out a game... it's too bizarre to miss --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB61 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 This, I believe, is the first time that they've moved a series to another ballpark since the Marlins played the Expos at "Comiskey" a couple of years ago towards the end of the season because of a hurricane. I think it may have even been the year the won the World Series.I get the feeling that in cases such as this, the league may generally prefer a park in the opposite league, so that at least it's more neutral. I could be wrong, but it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Yeah, it does kinda make sense.Miller Park also makes sense, being relatively close and with the retractable roof.Another fun trivia fact: Milwaukee hosted nine Chicago White Sox home games in 1968 and eleven in 1969. The attendance in Milwaukee for those few games represented one-third of the total Sox home attendance in those years - don't think we'll see such numbers for the Indians (nor will we see the Indians almost move to Milwaukee).

That site is amazing.It would be nice to have the games in Buffalo since we have their AAA team but we have some snow also. I would go if they were here.

vikmurphy Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Is it just me or does anyone miss when it was called plain old SkyDome? I wouldn't think it would hurt the chances of the Twins new stadium. The MLB needs to realize weather in the midwest in April is unpredictible. So play in warm weather cities or in covered stadiums to start the season it would clean up a lot but not all of the weather issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sec19Row53 Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 5 seats in Section 115, Row 3 (right off the on deck circle, by the Indians' [home team] dugout) for $50! Can't wait for Wednesday night. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The attendance in Milwaukee for those few games represented one-third of the total Sox home attendance in those years.Talk about your dark days. I once saw a programs for those games, which showed the Beer Barrel Man and the "Milwaukee Brewers" name on the front - those games bore much more of a "this team is going to move here soon" vibe than the Expos' trips to San Juan.Basically, the White Sox are still playing on the South Side by virtue of the ineptitude of the Seattle Pilots. I'm pretty sure that was much more of a legitimate threat to the franchise than the schtick and posturing about playing in the Suncoast Dome ever was.

OB33 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't it make sense to play this series in Anaheim and then have a series that was scheduled for Anaheim moved to Cleveland to balance it out? #CHOMPCHOMPCHOMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMMF Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't it make sense to play this series in Anaheim and then have a series that was scheduled for Anaheim moved to Cleveland to balance it out?Well, I was going to make light of this suggestion for the reason of travel, but now looking at when the Indians go to LA to play the Angels, it would have made some sense. Instead of having Cleveland go from Minnesota to LA to Chicago they would go Minny, home, Chicago, which is much more manageable. Flipping that, the Angels would only be starting their roadtrip four days earlier as, if the games were switched, they would be going to Baltimore anyway.I'm thinking, though, it had to do with short notice and logistics.

Jane Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Hey, maybe the people of Milwaukee will finally get to watch some quality baseball.... oops, did I say that out loud?*ZING!* [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too?
