Outfield padding is being installed, berms are basically done outside of grass being planted, chair backs are starting to come in down the first base line. We’re about to have ourselves a ballpark.

baselines are too pointy....3/10**

I still can't believe we're about to have this

The first time we lose a game from a ball going into that right field corner and bouncing off that round wall at an odd and unexpected angle, the meltdown here about the design will be epic.

Err .. nope. You do realize that we will have a huge advantage because we get to practice with that 'round wall' everyday!

It will happen at some point but...

It should still be a home field advantage as we have the opportunity to practice with it every day and play every game. I think what is might be more of an issue are the homerun just inside the foul pole that might have been a catch at the wall.

I know what the seating capacity will be but how many can we "wedge" in there for a BIG game ?

Why do LH bats always seem to get the advantage of the short porch??

Does anyone know if the Berms will have real grass or turf?

 

[jlove20]

Are people are going to lose their minds after the first person gets hurt running into the outfield wall by blaming a turf warning track?

 

[HotMop]

Fenway Park calls your bluff...

 

[Junction John]

Brown turf, like home plate**

Hopefully turf. Can’t imagine many willing to sit in the mud. Also, is the terrace down the right field line reserved for specific ticket holders?

Sitting on turf when it gets hot toward the end of the season? Nope. Mud is better than frying your butt.

Shouldn't be too much different than the Giants AT&T park that has the short RF brick wall. Only difference is ours has the rounded feature. But its only a few feet into fair territory where it comes into play.

 

[jlove20]

I guess color matters when you're sprinting to the wall?
I'd think the sound of crushed brick would matter more than the color of a warning track.

Just my opinion.

Maybe this is another "advantage" of having something different than other ballparks.

Those are reserved for the parents of the kids whose ADHD medication has worn off.**

What is the capacity?

 

[skydawg1]

What is the capacity?

The new official capacity should be around 12K.

 

[EurekaDog]

I expect a Steve Bartman incident down the RF line in the corner @ some point.

Hopefully, it won't cost us a game.
