2020 Blue Jays General Season Thread

But it also serves as a venue for other things like concerts. Would you want the next stadium to be open air?

I think you'd want a stadium along the lines of what they've built in Milwaukee or Seattle, with a retractable roof but still with the feel and amenities of a modern ballpark.

And I think those stadiums can still hold concerts for the few venues that need that sort of capacity. I know the Cowboys' stadium in Dallas can do concerts.

Just don't build something like the new ballpark in Arlington... it's not very good.

As a side note I have been to a few concerts at the skydome (Iron maiden, depeche mode, Bowie and Nine inch nails) and the acoustics in there are awful. I would not miss that stadium as a concert venue at all.

To be fair they suck at SBA also.

My trips to the Dome were in around 2001 and 2004. Games against Tampa and the Red Sox. Went to 6 games in total. Jays lost all six. Yet still I adopted them as my team...

I guess my issue definitely was that the crowd was very sparse. I?d say more Sox fans than Jays fans at a couple of games almost. So it lacked atmosphere. But it?s an architectural marvel and I like how it integrates with the CN Tower and all.

Of the parks I?ve been to, Wrigley Field is probably my favourite just cos it?s old and historic and the ivy walls Then the houses with seats across the street and so on. Massive contrast with the White Sox stadium which is functional at best.

Fenway isn?t great but again has the history. I liked Camden Yards and that style with the big brick building behind it. I had tickets to a game in Phillie but had to cancel that trip so haven?t ticked it off yet.

I preferred old Yankee Stadium to new. Shea Stadium was cool manly cos I went on a night it was a Beatles tribute night on the anniversary of their show but it was showing they were ready to move out.

Tropicana Field is comfortably the worst. There was a massive storm outside and the rain was pouring through the roof but it was just a bit like the Dome in that it was probably built just as all the fancier faux historic designs were starting.

The Athletics need a custom built park. SF Giants stadium is awesome. I really want to visit San Diego, love the way they integrated the Metal Supply store into the stands.

What is the sba?

[Arn]

The Air Canada Center?

Also just to add to my prior message, I quite liked the look of the park in Buffalo.

Is the dome now 100% baseball, they don?t move the stands around for football or anything any more?

[Joe]

Yeah football is out of BMO field now, which I actually haven?t been there yet.

What is the sba?

I was too lazy to write Scotiabank Arena.

I like it but it's such a pain to get to. You basically park in Liberty Village and you walk the underground passage to get across the traintracks. With thousands of people it's a pretty annoying bottleneck. I like the field though, but I have nothing else to compare it to.

I am just used to calling it the ACC. sBA just does not resonate with me yet. Didn?t make the connection sorry.

Depends who you see and maybe where you're seated? Saw Judas Priest there and the sound was great. I think overall concrete doesn't bode well for sound.

[Frank E]

Anyone interested in bringing Stroman back?

Anyone interested in bringing Stroman back?

I doubt he?s interested in coming back. Also, I wouldn?t sacrifice a draft pick to sign him. There are better options in the market.

[Highlander]

No more Strobro.
