Cdub100 3,380 Posted April 11, 2006 Looks a lot like Comerica park here in Detroit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulinstl 295 Posted April 11, 2006 Im not real familiar with Comerica Park, but I thought it has the reputation as being a really deep outfield and hard to hit HRs out of. http://www.kmov.com/images/slideshow/06041...es/DSC00253.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GettnHuge 1 Posted April 11, 2006 like comerica? nah. I WANT TIGER STADIUM BACK! looks ok but I'm one who likes to sit in the outfield and I hate all of these new stadiums with sparse outfield seating. I also cannot stand the high decks around the infield which of course new busch has. neat stadium but not what i like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yesterday three HRs were easily hit out at Busch. It looks to be more of a hitter's park than Comerica. That's what I was getting at. Again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
George Carlin 1 Posted April 11, 2006 Maybe those crazed Cardinals fans will actually show up for some games so they can sell out some games this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you serious? 2005 attendance: 3,491,837 avg. 43.647 3rd highest in baseball. 2004 attendance: 3,048,427 avg. 37,634 7th higest in baseball. Only 4 teams have smaller market size.

ManUtd 0 Posted April 11, 2006 I'm burnt to a crisp after yesterday's festivities. I was down there a solid 12 hours (8AM - 8:30 PM). I have a very good feeling that after this summer of sitting in the bleachers for 20+ games, I will raise my risk of skin cancer by 90%. There is absolutely NO shade out there. But my skin is a beautiful Cardinal red today. I love the new stadium. I loved the old one too but this place is so spacious. the bleaches a definite upgrade from the old place.

Cdub100 3,380 Posted April 11, 2006 You obviusly can't apprecite a great ballpark, which Tiger Staidum was. The only thing that made it great was the history. The stadium itself was a dump. Nothing like walking in an enclosed concourse and side stepping puddles. And maybe it's just me but I don't like p!ssing into a tub. The sightliness were horrible and lets hope you didn't get an obstructed view behind one of the polls. I wish they would take it down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GettnHuge 1 Posted April 11, 2006 and the beer at comerica just doesn't taste the same without rust particles falling into it. One of my last games the final year of Tiger Stadium, was with a fella who saw Cobb and Ruth play there when he was a kid. He died before Comerica opened.

When it gets hot in St. Louis, it doesn't matter where you are, you can't escape it unless you're inside. I guess it will help some, but i doubt very much.
