I really like the park going around the top. I assume people can walk around up there.

Not enough teams going with the Aztec temple look imo.


Oakland really gets screwed by being on the east side of the bay, so they can't make a park with water views from the home plate area. Can they relocated the city?

could they just rotate the park 180 degrees?

Sorta

It is desirable that the line from home base through the pitchers plate to second base shall run East-Northeast.



The Giants stadium is almost directly facing due east, i presume to incorporate teh bay views as fully as possible.

Of course California teams have it the worst since the sun always sets in the west. :wink:

Another one says NNE ...

But I guess the majority of them are the N/E quadrant. Eiyher way, turning the A's stadium 180 degrees would probably be pretty problematic.

So if Bryce Harper and Manny Machado are not going to break the historic threshold, who has the best chance to become baseball's first $400 million, or even $500 million players in baseball history? Baseball executives predict #RedSox outfielder Mookie Betts/#Angels OF Mike Trout

Man, the Melvin jokes must have been brutal to go back to being known as BJ.
