I'm looking forward to air conditioning as much as the next guy... But from the outside he old park looked like a catehdral, the new park looks like an indoor practice facility at best, a warehouse at worst.
So airplane pilots won't like the view of the roof?
I will be there next Wednesday for an open house and i'll take lots of pics to let y'all see how awesome it looks.
Yeah, if I'm hks I'm not putting many exterior pictures of this one on my website. Hopefully the interior gives some nice photo opportunities...
The new park looks cool when you are over by Texas Live
I'm curious as to why they went with the white material on the roof, I don't remember that being in any renderings. Does it serve a function or was it an aesthetic choice (if so, I dont think that part looks good)

Gotta be purely for energy saving. White roofs reflect heat to reduce the cooling needs of a building. Pretty much required now with the energy codes.
Can't wait for Opening Day at the Meat Locker!dave94 said:PatAg said:

This may have already been asked but is there a texags code we can use to buy discounted tickets like in the past?
Just got my tickets for Blue Bell cap day and Dallas Stars cap night...now waiting to see what the A&M bucket hat looks like and for them to be put on sale.
A/C or heater, the outside will still look terribleDallasAg 94 said:Forecasted high of mid-60s on Opening Day in Arlington.Rossko said:

Will the roof be closed and the heater on?
*Edit to add: with the roof closed. I'm still holding out hope that the park will look spectacular with the roof open and the light shining through all of the open areas.
I got to walk the facility on Monday and man it is impressive although it definitely doesn't have a "ballpark" feel. The field turf was very giving and I liked the coconut shell addition because it looked like dirt in the grass.
My comment about a ballpark feel isn't necessarily a shot. For example, there is a speakeasy that has the feel of uptown Dallas if you are going for that reason.
I am looking forward to taking my kids to a Sunday afternoon game and not worrying about heat stroke.
Parking seems like it could be a nightmare.

Yes I took one from the dugout, field level suite behind home and locker room. Let me remind myself how to post pics and I'll add them.

AP, are they doing anything special for the first actual game, against STL?
I'm sure they have something in the works

Come on, man. You should just promise something that won't happen.
I know I'm not going to opening day so figured this would be next best thing.
Awesome!AccidentProne said:Yes. texags20. Should be active MondayChapa96 said:

Thanks
A&M bucket hat tickets are now on sale for June 13th...not a big fan of the bucket hat design.
Here's the hat:
Oh man I didnt realize you could see TBiA outside the glass in left field.

Would you guys complaining about the stripes like to revisit your premature opinions now that the field is almost installed?
Massive improvement.
Just took a bunch of pictures. Will upload them shortly
To be fair, and to keep up with my "ad hominum," it does appear darker the higher up in the stadium you get
