So the renovation of the Big Trop would have people in the stands?

Thanks to Kinggeorge96 for the link that works… I have to say just seeing the words “New Fenway” felt like it was from some sci fi post apocalypse movie where the US has been wiped out and the remnants of humanity had to rebuild.

New Los Angeles
New NewYork
New Fenway

I got there early, thanks to SB Nation. (Rob Neyer’s change of employer is already paying dividends.)

Boy, everyone used to love wacky dome concepts.

Interesting that the alternate versions of Citi Field held fast to Ebbets-style brickwork. Just as the domed Yankee Stadium was still Yankee Stadium. Have to say, I am glad we didn’t get those domes, in part because you play baseball outdoors, darn it; and in part because I cannot imagine how much higher the bill to the public would have been.

Which makes me wonder if would have been better to do the renovations proposed for LA Wrigley and Riverfront. The rebuilt Anaheim and Kansas City ballparks are gorgeous and cost a lot less, I am sure. A retrofitted Riverfront might have made a silk purse from that sow’s ear of a stadium.

That was a nice tour of Optimum and Yahoo error pages.

Thanks for making me unemployed as I am sure they will see how much time I am about to spend on this link – LOL!
