Edman probably solves the Dodgers issues at 2B and they get another bullpen piece.
The Cards got an extra bat and a starting Pitcher.

Yankee Stadium is way too high. As is Skydome, other than Oakland and TB it still has to be the worst place to watch baseball I don’t care how good the renovations are.

 

[thedddd]

^Yeah Tropicana is awful, that should be next to last just ahead of Oakland.

Mercedes Benz in Atlanta should be higher, the Superdome is over rated and sucks.

Also Acrisure/Heinz is way overrated and should be lower, same with Truist. Truist for a new park isn’t designed well at all for the fans.

Was Turner Field decent to watch a game in?

I did find it funny that a LOT of new barns were listed so low, particularly places that replaced perfectly fine stadiums like Truist and Globe Life.

Also wondering how Intuit Dome is so low considering it isn't even open yet lol

/MB should be higher just based on the food tbh:

/MB should be higher just based on the food tbh:

Mercedes is amazing. The food is very cheap (Arthur Blank essentially told all vendors that prices must match what they charge outside a stadium). They give free refills on all soft drinks and when at the bars getting a drink it is open to view of the field. So even when walking around you have site lines to the field. The seats have plenty of room and the atmosphere is very cool, a great place to watch soccer if you get a chance.

As for Turner Field I went then there twice and I thought the stadium was ok. The site lines were weird as it wasn't designed originally for baseball, so for instance sitting on the third baseline your seat faced towards the outfield vs towards home plate.

The issue with Truist, the prices are unreal, might be one of the most expensive baseball stadiums for food/drink. The restrooms are way too small for the amount of people it can hold, the gates are small when entering the stadium and the walkways get overcrowded since they are designed weird and causes congestion with all the vending booths in odd spaces. Just not designed well for a new park and the seats have cupholders but none line up with your seat, hard to explain, but it is a weird design.
The "battery" around it is ok, but not enough options before and after games. It is like a hotel california you must park there, and you are stuck there if you want to eat/drink before or after games. The park is in a bad location, no mass transit and off a very busy interchange.

LOL..yeah maybe because it is hosting the Clippers and in Inglewood CA.

Hey it's just down the street from the Fabulous Forum!

I do kinda wonder if the Ducks end up there at some point (unless it's just a god-awful design for hockey...not that that ever stops the NHL).

Cincinnati Reds reportedly to play Braves at Bristol Motor Speedway next season

Bristol is best known for being home to two NASCAR races per year, but it has hosted other sporting events as well.

www.wcpo.com

MLB Marketing person: NHL is getting all kinds of press playing games in football and baseball stadiums. We can't compete with that.
Junior MLB Marketing person: Hear me out...

 

[thedddd]

^not sure you are going to get a lot of fans driving to Bristol for baseball.

Matter of fact no one ever in there right mind would think going to Bristol as a good time.

I guess you can always visit this place:
