Let's do it. I will do my best to get there early and snag a Framber ring for you.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

So guys, good news.

In my OOTP 23 season I was able to succesfully unload Abreu to the Arizona Diamondbacks for Christian Walker, a 17 year old 4 star prospect from the dominican and $500,000. I did have to retain half of Abreu's salary; but Christian Walker was only making $6,000,000 a year and I was able to sign him to a 3 year extension at $27,000,000 7/9/11 which will practically offset the Abreu retention.

Someone get Dana Brown this info.

If only we could have traded for Walker last deadline.

I've got a signed and framed Tyler White picture from 2018 (I think). It's easily worth 2-3 of Abreu's at this point in time.

It was a gag Christmas present from my dad because I hated him. Maybe we need to sacrifice it to help with Abreu?

The sacrifice would be hanging it in a prominent spot in your home for all to see. And when people ask you about it you have to suck it up and tell them he's your favorite player. That's the only way to help Abreu.

Red Hot Chili Peppers put on a helluva show at The Juice Box last night which exceeded my expectations as a venue. Hopefully the outfield grass is decent on Monday night.

It was hanging for a really long time but has to move it for an animal mount. Just sitting on the floor now.

If it's a water buffalo, would anyone notice?

MMP should have a promotion for an Astros-themed football jersey. Mrs. Marvin's 500 tejano cousins would buy three each, haha.

30k seats seems dumb too unless they plan on continuing the As tradition of sucking.

Think of how useful it will be when it partially rains.

I think 30,000 seats is actually brilliant for Las Vegas. Going to be tough to fill 40,000+ there. Plus, eliminating a lot of that outfield seating keeps that skyline open.

Semi-retractable roof is extremely stupid though.

I think y'all have the partially part mixed up. I believe it's a closed roof stadium that only opens partially. In the pics it's open but the infield side is still covered.

Trying to keep an open view to downtown above the outfield seats. Seems they would have a larger number of suites for the casinos to buy out and use for comps.

Yep. I like the idea of only 30k

I imagine they won't have a big permanent fanbase and at 30k you can carer to just the visitors, corporate sponsors, and casino comps without it looking only half full.

Talk about an awesome road game to go see.

They're taking more of an NFL approach to capacity it sounds like.

I was going to say, they'll make their money on premium seating. Total capacity is probably barely relevant.
