That looks cool...as long as all those new seats are full. Hopefully attendance continues to climb, otherwise that'd be tough to look at.
cool. maybe we can put 8 new ad signs. I wasn't a fan at first then the hill won me over. Sometimes I'd rather have rachel phelps own our astros.
As the guy that started the website "Climbing Tal's Hill" (name drop, don't care), I feel a little defeated today. And now that I see the specs, I am over it. The standing room area at the DC stadium is badass and we should have something like it. It changes the ballpark and allows for people to casually go instead of being tied down to seats.
Hmmm....I like. Looks like a fun spot to catch the game, compared to my usual off 3rd off 1st spots...
Same here... the plans call for more than just a "CF bar" which will be good. As it is, the bar in CF (old Ruggles) is a decent place to at least have a mixed drink there (albeit an expensive one). It will increase the park factor... it has to... but for a team that is as reliant on the HR ball in its analytics, may not be all that bad either.
Notice how the "old" renderings = empty stadium... and the "new" renderings = sellout? Funny how that works out!
I will miss the Hill. I love it everytime a player has to go up that hill to make a play. It seems like it was a home field advantage for the Astros. Our players are more accustomed to going up the hill.
Hate the hill. Goofy. Always thought it made the field an obstacle course. So I am happy with that. And creating a money generating space in the stands makes sense (but would prefer it to have less of a visual impact).
not to sound unpatriotic, but what is that american flag thing in the renderings? Looks like a combination of a light tower and a phone booth.
