Official MLB off-season thread ...

Nothing that comes to mind. Most stadiums with a roof are engineered to avoid such things.

Only in Florida...

Most games I've watch in Tampa have at least 1-2 issues with balls hitting the catwalk, now I've only seen a handful of games, I'll admit to it, but I feel like most have affected the score of the game. Not saying that what ever team won when these issues happened wouldn't have still won, but it'd be nice to leave no doubt.

Can MLB force the rays to make repairs?

It seems like it's vital to the maintenance of the stadium, so I doubt it. The roof itself is just too low, and unless the league wants to lend them a couple hundred million dollars to raise it, I doubt they care to do anything about it.

No but if the owner wants to move the team they would collaborate to get a new stadium . i'm not sure what the lease looks like though

So when a team builds or the league expands they don't approve the plans or field?

Get it together MLB!

If a team moves they do but they can't do anything with a team currently under a lease. That's up to the city and owners

When did the catwalk get put it? I think the stadium is like 25 years old?

Edit: damn it was built in 1990

I was close to guessing right.

I wonder why they need a catwalk but the other domes don't have them?

You know what'd be dope? If all stadiums were the goddamn same

Imagine if some nfl stadium had a 105yd field

I actually like the uniqueness (is that a word) of MLB stadiums.

This. I actually liked the stupid hill in Houston.

 

[FLYOVER BOSSMAN]

I do too.

Its cool to see GMs build a roster around the strengths and weaknesses of any given park

 

[INeedARemedy]

I guess. It's just wonky

Me too.Tal's Hill. The new seating they have put in is going to get someone killed. It's all bars and people getting wasted. We walked down there and there were literally people asleep (I've been to 3 games so far)

Still have the Crawford boxes at least
