Didn't have to have a new park before giving Miami the 200 game. F- 'em

Pittsburgh had the 1994 game. The D'Backs, Rays, and Marlins have still not hosted one game.

They need to build new parks, and then they should be allowed to host a game

Bank One Ballpark is too old at it's age of 6 years? Oh I see.

 

I know the Trop is more than 6 years old but it's not that old either.

Actually Im preety sure Tropicana was made in the ealry 90s? It took them a long time to get the Rays there.

 

That is one of the worst parks I have ever been in. Ugly as sin.

Yeah the Trop is older. It's like playing baseball in a warehouse. I pray to god that the all star game is never there.

It was built for the White Sox originally, correct?

Yes. St. Petersburg built it while trying to lure the White Sox to move south. It was completed in 1990, but by then Chicago had decided to build them the New Comiskey Park (US Cellular).

Speaking of the Trop, that "globe" reminds me of a domed stadium.

 

 

I liked last year's logo better.

Pittsburgh has the all star game, on the bottom line.

 

Whoever said St. Louis in 2006, their park won't be opening til at least 2006. I don't think they would get one so soon.

It needs to be a bit more tilted.

I just heard that it was in the STL in 2006...must have been an unreliable source :confused

the Giants almost moved there as well prior to the 93 season

Yes. The Cardinals had intended to have the ASG originally in 2006. However, upon realizing that their new park will open that same year, they told Selig that they won't have enough time to get prepared for that event. So it was left open again. That's how Pittsburgh slipped into their position.

 

Taking the '00 ASG away from South Florida was foul, though. :thumbdown
