djm305 Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 You know, I have been going to Pro Player stadium for baseball since 1992 I had season tickets since 94 and I have been to 6 world series games in that ball park. I have so many FOND memories in that park and as many things as I hate about that park, I also love. See, I think there is something magical about it, I think playing there gives our team and the style of basbeall we play an advantage. We had so many exciting moments there last season. You have to wonder had we been playing in a newer smaller park, would we have even had the chance to make the playoff's last year? I understand the economic reasons for a new park, I understand the ergonomic reasons too, but I for one will miss it, I will always remember all the good times I had at that park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapeFish Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 I don't think the new ballpark would be smaller. Admin Beinfest likes PPS. Don't be surprised if the new ballpark has the same dimensions, the Teal Tower, the Bermuda Triangle, and the bullpens along the lines. All the factors that make PPS an interesting place for baseball could be taken along. The fan areas are what would need to change, and that doesn't affect the play on the field.

BasesLoadedWalk Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Good point. If anything, we should avoid making the same mistakes as the Astros, with that short distance at LF and the weird configuration in the outfield in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishfan25 Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 yeh I like the stadium too but we need to get a new home. Make it similar to the one we have now though. How about an exact replica but smaller? Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Card Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 i love Pro Player, if only wayne wasn't such an idiot He's actually quite an intelligent man. I think the word you were looking for is "douche." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapeFish Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 I think they can leave the field the same and just build a real ballpark fan the fans and be alright. I am so hungry for a home that I will take pretty much whatever the architects dish out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG Z Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 You think the marlin's gave up on hialeah race track?if they make a ballpark there don't be surprised to see me there 50-60 home game's per season lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Juanky Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 How about an exact replica but smaller? If by smaller you mean less seats but same dimensions, we can do that. But if by smaller you mean smaller dimensions, I'm not going to be too fond of that. I mean a home is a home, but if you are going to do something do it right.

CapeFish Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Speaking of the ballpark, the ballpark newspage has a new feature just posted on the new retractable roof ballparks in the Big leagues. I also have put up a new poll to alternate with the location poll. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
