Looks good though and is certainly better than the s***hole where they play now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Oakland is too cold for a pool in the outfield. Plus, they can't afford a stadium like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Mix of Petco, Balpark/Arlington, and Comerica IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 It's gonna be aweful fun to distinguish a home run hit to center field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev211 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 The owner of the A's would be stupid to build this in oakland if i were him i would have already moved the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought all parks had to conform to this and have some sort of batter's eye? This center field seems to have no consistent color out there.

maggliopipe Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 it's too closed in. i like the stadiums with fewer seats allowing for a nice view of the surrounding area (pnc, for example). maybe that says something about the city of oakland.

RockRaines Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Centerfield is horribe, hr's batters eye, etc. Bad design, they will hit even less hr's in that park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they sure it's a good idea to have condos in CF like that, the ones in LF seem to have a bit more privacy but the one in CF seem out in the open. At the Skydome they have a hotel built into the top of the outfield and you can see into the rooms if they curtains are open due to giant sliding glass windows. During one game a few years ago they zoomed in on one of the rooms because they were talking about how unique the ballpark was with the hotel built in, anyway when they zoomed in on the room there was a guy getting a chick from behind up against the glass window in the hotel room. They had it on the screen for a good 20 seconds because they couldn't figure out exactly what it was they were looking at but after like 15 seconds the guy turns her sidways and they figured out exactly what was going on. Good television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSNS-TV44 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Oakland had a nice park back in the day,before Al Davis bullied Oakland officals to put in football seats for the Raiders.Now it's just looks awful to see it on TV espically with baseball. But that's not a bad design.Yes,I agree with everybody here that it looks a little like Petco Park,but I like the LF bleachers.Looks like "The $20,000 Pyramid".
