I'm happy for the Devil Rays, but saddened I'll have to watch games played in that warehouse they call a stadium. There's something godly about seeing a game in HD at Fenway. I could watch senior slow pitch softball played there for hours. Trop makes my eyes bleed. It even sounds bad in there over my stereo.
Seriously? I'm no fan of the Trop but Fenway = arena baseball.
Care to unpack this a little?Open air stadium
Lowest/Intimate seating capacity in Majors
Closest proximity of fans to players
Natural Grass / Dirt playing surface
Interesting Park Dimensions
Passionate Fanbase - sold out every night
Tremendous Venue HIstory
Great pre/postgame atmosphere outside the stadium
Fenway is as far as you can get from the sterile cookie cutter astrodome clones as you can get.
