Well stated Jonny. As someone who looks at Architecturals (blueprints)…most every day I can say you are dead on. And they seem to be getting worse with each passing year. To the point now where you quote a project (off their Architecturals)…present your submittals and shop drawings…and they return them with a stampe marked “reviewed.”
Not “approved.” Not “approved as noted.” Not “revise and re-submit.” Just “reviewed.”
So they do a terrible job drawing these projects then give you every opportunity to hang yourself by not approving anything. Just…”reviewed.” Frustrating. Sorry for the rant people.

I’ll always be a bit bummed that I wasn’t around to see the place. Always wanted to go there and to the Polo Grounds.

The Wilpons already dug these up and handed them over to the builders of Citi Field.

If you’ve ever seen real blue prints, the term “blurprints” is actually quite accurate.

It may get repaired, but as of 2:35, the original headline for this item says: The original Ebbets Field blurprints. One hopes the blueprints are in sharper focus than was the headline writer! Pretty cool item to get to see!
