Stadium Updates

Looks nice. But so does anything compared to Rogers centre.

Recently on PTS they were talking about the 25th anniversary of the SkyDome and how it was the greatest thing since sliced bread and then along came Camden Yards and the retro look. Now with many of the new stadiums "going old" by copying Camden Yards, the retro look has now become (pardon the expression) passe.

One point that was mentioned was that you never hear about a stadium when the team is winning and it is full. Much of the complaining about the SkyDome began when the team (Jays) started to tank. Same with Camden Yards, doesn't matter how nice it is if the team is losing.

I think the difference, though, is that Camden Yards is still a charming, fun place to be even if the team isn't good and the crowd isn't huge. I've been there as well as Wrigley Field with less-than-full attendance, and both offered an enjoyable experience. Whereas SkyDome with 13,000 Jays fans has virtually no charm unless the roof is open and you are sitting in the priciest seats behind home plate.
