Thread looks legit.
Have you gotten to walk the stadium, yet? Those upper deck seats look incredibly high.
Looks like in reducing the capacity, they took out good seats and added worse seats. Not sure how that is possible. Putting a Rangers gif over the pic doesn't make it "Rangers'esque," it makes the stadium look forced and detached. Not very intimate.
Went to a Yankees stadium this summer as a bucket list checkbox. The different levels in this new stadium looks similar. You have to have an escort to get to the seats closest to the field. We were in the section just behind that, and the staleness of the game (and heat) had me walking around looking for something... anything. Left after only a couple innings. Our seats were in a section about 20 rows from the field above 1st Base. Seats were about 30% filled. Granted it was a day game and hot... but I wasn't impressed.
The new Yankees Stadium has no history or mystique. Just another stadium with a Logo affixed to it.
That's just not true.Quote:
Every seat in the ballpark is actually closer to the field and has a better vantage point of the game than in GLP. If you were sitting in the top row of the upper level in GLF, you'd be closer to the field than if you were sitting in the 1st row of the upper level in GLP.

I've been over to the stadium probably 10 times now, and those views I showed you on the TV during your relocation appointment don't do the real thing any justice. It's going to be amazing once you're in there watching games
Given where we live and the hot weather we always endure, the decision to build an indoor park in 1994 should've been a no brainer. Whoever's idea it was to build globe life park outside, well.... it was a very stupid idea.Bones08 said:
I'll be honest, I've been skeptical of the new ballpark for awhile, but after enduring another long summer and now that the new ballpark is nearly upon us...
...bring on opening day. I'm really excited about it.
Look, no one is upset about having air conditioning, but when you spend $1.1 billion paid for by increased taxes and ticket prices, you don't really get to play the "its got A/C so get over it..." card. You do it all clearly right or you endure the skepticism and try to prove people wrong, and don't respond with apparent falsities as above.Grapesoda2525 said:
Quit the whining folks. I've had games between June- early September marked off completely for years because of the miserable heat. Would only go in April, May, or late September. My first game in this park will probably be in July or August and I'll be enjoying every second of that AC.

Back to Houston
To clarify, the "you" in that post is not grapesoda, and that was a reference to the earlier claim about the distance from seats to the field.KT 90 said:Falsities?

From everything I've seen, the "roof being closed" will not feel as cave like as the Astrodome of Skydome. The roof will have lots of ETFE sections that will allow natural light in. Here's an article about it.
https://www.mlb.com/rangers/ballpark/globe-life-field/news/globe-life-field-roof-design-announced
And 90% isn't an accurate statement. There are 81 home games, so that is suggesting roof is only open for 8 games. I'm guessing roof is open for most games through mid June.
EDIT: This rendering gives a feel for what it's going to look like. Those suggesting "geez it's just like MMP" just aren't looking very closely. Yeah, it's indoors and has a baseball field.
