greasywheels121 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 02:02 PM) BTW, did anyone see the write up about the new stadium for the Fire. They have blue seats, and the reason for the blue was supposedly withblue seats, if its not full, it won't look as empty on television. I love blue seats. I don't get that. Seats are going to look empty, regardless the color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zach61 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 01:06 PM) I vote we do that here starting right now... Think we could also start one of those miller lite man laws about whining? Discussing things is great, but whining about every single thing......damn. First it's payroll, then blue seats, then the team folding in September last yr, then the media.....oops, just the times and trib, and now the seats not being angled. Isn't the stadium actually on an angle so the seats point towards the infield? Why point the seat at home plate when you should be watching the infield, then home plate when the ball is pitched, and then if it's hit, you don't have to stand up to turn to look in the outfield?

NorthSideSox72 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 QUOTE(Hangar18 @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 12:50 PM) YES they can. The way the seats are constructed now ..........its a simple bracket with the Hinge for the seats on either side of the bracket being of EQUAL measurements. The Brackets at Petco are not like this. Instead, for example, the measurements on the right side of the bracket are measured at say 4 inches, and on the left side of the bracket, are at like 8 inches. This allows for the seat to be facing towards the infield, while the bracket is still in a "straight line" (facing towards centerfield) And when the seats are angled into the aisles to accomplish that, reducing the already very tight walking space by another 4 to 8 inches... how do you propose that anyone other than Kate Moss is going to make it down those aisles? IT WON'T WORK. It's not designed for that. They'd have to realign that whole section of seats, which is a huge project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This topic on the other site would get dozens banned for talking about blue seats/attendance. I gotta say one thing here... we all know you got in trouble at WSI, and we all know that we have a different philosophy on how we do things here. For some people, it is a big deal, but for most of us, we could care less. I know a decent amount of people over there, and I gotta say for the great majority they are very cool people, and great Sox fans. We might not agree on how we like our message boards moderated, but it doesn't stop us from being friends. Part of the Soxtalk philosophy is to pretty much let people decide what they want to talk about, so we aren't going to tell anyone to stop talking about stuff, but just know that the whole evil WSI thing gets kinda boring, especially since we aren't looking for a West Side Story rumble with the guys anyway. They have their thing, we have ours, and people can make up their owns minds as to what they like better. There is no real need for the hate.

nitetrain8601 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I thought the whole reason why they didn't complete the color change for the seats was because they were going to reangle them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that seems to be the understanding now ....................the SOX are very likely going to have ANGLED SEATS down the lines in those sections. For those of you who Love looking towards CenterField, this will probably be a slap in the face to you guys. For those who "complained/suggested" the angled seats, it might be happening now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Critic Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 This is such a tired discussion. If your neck can't take a few hours of turning slightly once in a while (if you want to, you do get to turn you head away from the plate between pitches, to view the scoreboard, vendors, others around you, and when the ball is hit into the field of play), then you should probably watch at home, where you can angle your chair to view your TV perfectly. And your chair at home can be green if you want, too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Maybe we can get NASA to help design new state of the art swivel chairs with flight of the ball GPS tracking technology. That way we wont have to ever move our necks. Bridgeport might be a tad upset at the new Nuclear Power Reactor to power to the damn thing, but hey as long as I dont move my neck we are all good.

zach23 Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Why don't the Sox just realize that there are some things that need to be done so that ALL fans are happy ALL the time. They just need to do the following: Change all the seats so that they change color depending on the person looking at them. So if someone likes blue or green or red, or whatever else, the seats will read their mind and change to that color just for them. Others looking at them will see the color they like. Charge only what each individual person is willing to pay for admission and personally deliver the tickets to them when it is convienent for them. If someone doesn't want to pay, let them in free and they should be able to sit in the best seat even if there is someone else that wants to sit there. The Sox just have to figure out how to get everyone into the seat they want at all times. Make it so that all seats point in the direction that all people like at all times with no obstructions. The seats must be soft enough for those that like soft and firm enough for those that like firm. Get every player that every fan wants regardless of cost or roster size. If that player then doesn't perform to the satisfaction of any fan anywhere, get rid of him and get better players. The Sox should have a team that always goes 162-0 and wins every World Series. Every fan in the park should see the lineup they want to see even if that means 30 guys must be in the starting lineup. The Sox must simply figure out how to get that to work. Everyone must get to park for free right next to the stadium. Everyone should be allowed to show up 5 minutes before game time and still be able to get in to see the first pitch. There should also be lots of bars and restaurants real close to the park, but there must still be parking lots for everyone as well, and the bars and restaurants must not turn the neighborhood into Wrigleyville. For those that hate bars and restaurants, they must be invisible. For those that walk to the park and hate parking lots, the lots must be invisible and they should be able to see nice houses and trees. The Sox should have every announcer and commentator on earth on the payroll doing their own play-by-play and commentary. The fans can then choose from 1000 different radio stations to hear only the play-by-play and color commentator that they want to hear. Same with TV. Every newspaper must write only about the Sox. Every sports radio station must only talk about the Sox. The stadium must be willing to morph into different stadiums for each fan's taste. If one person likes the old Comiskey better then it should morph into that. If they like the old park but with the new park's concourse, then it should do that. If someone likes seeing the skyline, then the park must rotate so they can. Nobody should wait in any line for anything. Vendors should be able to read everyone's mind and bring them the food they want immediatley. Each fan should have a personal vendor for each type of food and beverage and their own personal restroom. Every type of food and beverage ever created should be available with a vendor to personnaly serve it to each fan. The fans should decide if they want to pay anything or eat and drink for free. If the Sox would just stop being so cheap and address these things then everyone would be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
