Minute Maid Park to undergo renovations...

wow.sounds great

 

So I guess they want MMP looking great for the 2012 Championship Season!

 

Why not go all out and have the biggest HD screen?

 

Great. Now we can watch the suckiest team on a huge HD tv, just what I wanted.

 

They need to get rid of that dumbass flagpole in the middle of center field and Tal's hill.

 

get rid of tal first

 

Might be physical space limitations, who knows. A quick google search shows the Braves as the largest at 72x80. But the dimesnions in the article would actually put the MMP new board at about a 1000 more sq feet, probably just more of a widescreen look.

 

Uncle Drayton gettin the place spruced up before the fire sale???

 

Asking for 650 mill is not what I would call a fire sale.

 

The 'stros getting ready for the '11 postseason

 

Wouldn't say fire sale but would say he is trying to increase the value of the team and MMP for a prospect buyer. It sounds almost like getting a new ballpark and this could be enough to bring back the casual fan thus increase revenue numbers. This could make the 650 million dollar price tag a tad more acceptable and having a good team win playoff contention would be the ideal scenario to sell the club.

 

This is good, the current big screen looks really dated compared to what the other ballparks have now. I'm excited to see it.

 

Biggest one is actually in Kansas City.

 

...will become a secondary Diamond Club if you will, kind of a funky club space for young, hip Houstonians."

If anyone knows young, funky & hip, it's her.

 

Is this a official mock up or did u make this? Just curious!

 

Looks like a mock up from the chronicle.

What I hate about baseball is that they don't have a live video board. They just put a picture of that person and their stats.

The ballpark has changed in it's 11 years. There used to not be a 360 ribbon board. There used to not be a video screen above the crawford box. There was no citgo sign. The roof had less mold.

 

good luck beating the Royals (ironic)
