January 12, 20197 yr Author Looks like they're expanding the Budweiser bar out further - and they removed at "balcony" that was below it.[ATTACH]2632._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]2630._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH]2629._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH]2628._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]2631._xfImport[/ATTACH]
January 12, 20197 yr @rmc523 Looks like they could keep the balcony there, maybe if possible lower it just a tidbit. I like that they're expanding the bar just a little bit, though.
January 12, 20197 yr Do you all think that they'll bring the fences in a little further at some point? Mets did it with Citi Field twice, I think San Diego also moved in the walls at Petco Park more than once. Honestly now that the city of San Diego has built up so much around Petco, the ball has traveled a lot better, wouldn't be surprised if the trend continues if they move walls back a little. Not to where they were originally but maybe halfway.
January 12, 20197 yr Alcoholic. Completely sober, sir. But in games where it was rather full [all three of them ha haha hahahahaha], it always seemed crowded on that side, so it's good if they give them a little more room.
January 12, 20197 yr @rmc523 How did you get such detailed close pics? This is trespassing. Lol it was in the blog.
January 14, 20197 yr Author @rmc523 Looks like they could keep the balcony there, maybe if possible lower it just a tidbit. I like that they're expanding the bar just a little bit, though. Looks like those i-beams are resting on the balcony wall there, meaning they'd have to lower it by at least 10 feet to have adequate room for it, and there's likely not enough room for that. That section I think was used for groups in the past, so with that new lower section on the home run area, it makes that area unnecessary.

Not to where they were originally but maybe halfway. Well, I wouldn't have been surprised if they had done that, but I'd imagine they would've included any sort of announcement along those lines with the previous info about the other ballpark enhancements - i.e. "we're making these SRO sections, and bringing the fences in too." Though I guess they've also said more changes would be coming both this year and in the future. Could also be them doing things in stages - the SRO things this year, and move fences next year. Though you think with how cheap Jeter is, they'd only want to replace the fence padding once, not this year and next year. @rmc523 How did you get such detailed close pics? This is trespassing. I have my ways Muahahahaha! Lol, yeah, it was on a blog or twitter or something from the team, don't remember where exactly.
January 18, 20197 yr Good look at the right field standing section. You can see the concourse behind that has had the colors removed [MEDIA=twitter]1086051233595568128[/MEDIA]
January 18, 20197 yr Still not sure about the removing of the colored tiles but the bullpen looks amazing in that shot.
January 18, 20197 yr On another note... The blue walls look so much better. I know some didn't mind the green walls, but it is crazy how much better this looks. Can really compare them well here since some of the green remains.
January 18, 20197 yr What would you guys think if they painted that white support column a different color? It had been yellow in the past but blue would blend more similar to the one on the left.

I wonder when they'll start transitioning the outfield walls to that blue color. Hopefully before the season, shouldn't be too difficult, right?

January 18, 20197 yr Seems like a matter of peeling off the old padding and slapping on the new one. Probably can be done in a day. That's what I was thinking. Hopefully soon, then, would love to see the park like that already.
January 18, 20197 yr Author Still not sure about the removing of the colored tiles but the bullpen looks amazing in that shot. Yuck, I really hope they're planning on something more than just plain white concession windows. One thing I think may be an option - with all of the new food options being branded/outside companies, perhaps they'll leave concession stand design to the individual companies for their window, and what we're seeing is just the "blank slate" for them? So like Pincho is black/yellow - maybe the front of their store will be yellow? Or black with yellow accents? Just a guess. What would you guys think if they painted that white support column a different color? It had been yellow in the past but blue would blend more similar to the one on the left. Well, the yellow you're thinking of was really a big tarp type thing with Miccosukee branding on it. The blue one to the left is just covered with one of those giant stickers for the Aquafina sponsorship. It does look kinda plain, though. Stuff looks good. I wonder when they'll start transitioning the outfield walls to that blue color. Hopefully before the season, shouldn't be too difficult, right? Lol, yes it'll be done before the season. It's just colored padding, so it'll likely take a day or two.
January 18, 20197 yr Author On a side note, how cheap is Jeter? The players will now have to avoid golf greens, holes, and sand traps? If you get the baseball to drop in the hole, do you score a run?
