one of the ways of telling it's a rushed, terrible mockup. there's no need to imitate one of the coliseum's worst features.

How does that actually effect the game?

Legitimately asking, I'm not great with baseball.

It seems like it wouldn't matter how "deep" the zones are since it's the line from home-bases-back wall that denotes the foul.

Probably referring to how much room an infielder has to catch the ball between the foul line an the seats.

Im surprised that theyre keeping that aspect from the Oakland stadium. It was known for the large foul territory.

DrizztLink posted...

In most stadiums, there is less foul territory for the fielders to patrol. So a foul ball in most stadium will land in the stands and be a foul ball. But in Oakland (and now seemingly in Vegas), some of those balls will be catchable by the defense.

More playable foul territory is beneficial to the defense and pitchers. More opportunities to get outs.

It has the chance to speed up games very slightly, but I dont see how it would favor the home team. The home team isnt really more likely to enduce pop up foul balls.

Their politicians refuse to accommodate, or in other words the city is too poor. The A's didn't even ask for taxpayer help with the stadium itself, but said infrastructure would need updated which would cost the city around a half a billion. They can't do it.

They went to games when the team was good. The owner sabotaged the team and drove fans away so people like you would believe "SEE THEY ARENT COMING TO THE GAMES".

San Diego Chargers did the same thing.

I would like to see it fully enclosed due to the temps. If it goes the way it does, then look for very late start times for home games or extremely early.

I also wonder if the team will name change too. I would go with the state animal and call them the Bighorns.

I was out there last week for a graduation and I saw billboards for a MLS team. San Diego State got a new stadium and will likely join the Pac-12 in the near future, but as a former CA resident (I moved in 2010), I feel like San Diego will always be in the shadow of the LA area.

The A's have been a consistent playoff team this past decade, reaching the post season 6 out of the 10 past years. That's not easy to do in MLB. People don't go to the games because there's sewage literally seeping out through the floors in that condemned piece of shit stadium.

Bad idea to not have a retractable roof or simply a dome. That's what hurt the Texas Rangers and Arizona Cardinals for many years.

Also a very bad idea to do the large foul territory. The days of football and baseball in the same stadium for regular use is gone.
