FT35 Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Hopefully they change their logo too. The giant red arrow pointing down was a sign of things to come for the Sox. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Mite Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 (edited) I think Hate Rate field has a nice ring to it. Actually the ballpark has come a long way after what the original monstrosity looked like. One of the few good things that Reinsdorf did was seeing the error of his ways and did a very good job in restructuring the place.

Some of these retro parks are jokes as they try to out-quirk the last one. The old ballparks built in the early 20th century had quirks but they were out of necessity as they were built on small city parcels and bringing into account what the team owners could afford. I think PNC Park in Pittsburgh and Oriole Park are the best. Edited July 2 by The Mighty Mite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be at Globe Life on 21st against Sox…that monstrosity looks like an airplane hanger. Third Rangers’ ballpark of my lifetime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and every time I come across an article that rates the MLB ballparks, GRF moves up a notch or 2 in the rankings. It’s too bad they can’t just move GRF to area 78 turn it around and face Sears Tower and the rest of downtown, it would be perfect though I would get rid of the huge advertising boards and scoreboards in LF and RF so the view would even be better.

I think if it was anywhere else but 8 miles from Wrigley, it would have an entirely different reputation., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed however it should be noted that the only reason it was done was because U.S. Cellular paid for the changes. I don't think JR would have done anything on his own dime.
