    It really is a great stadium. I even love that the hot dog vendors write "Orioles" in mustard on your dog. Silly but I thought it was cool.

    I've known about the work at MMP for some time. I'm actually working with the MEP engineer on the kitchen ventilation.

    Good for the Astros. Despite the implied or explicit responsibility of fans in foul zone areas to pay attention and protect themselves at a ball game, this is the right thing to do.

    I'll grab some picks from the different seating areas Monday the 19th.
    I assume I will hate it. Gonna make getting a ball harder and be in the way of fans getting autographs.

    I'm sure they will have the nets raised before the game for autographs. They already raise the dugout nets and other teams raise their nets as well. Plenty of pop fly foul balls will still be hit into the stands.

    Anything that keeps the front row morons in dumbass cove and dipsh!t corner from interfering with live balls is a good thing.

    Right? It's inevitable league-wide and necessary. Curious how the knotless netting works out, view-wise.

    Should have gone with laser fence detonation of the ball. That's more like Houston.
