    Looks like they did a great job inside. I haven't looked up ticket prices but it appears they can carve the place into a bunch of different price points if they want, because the sections are so broken up. I hope it doesn't have the new Yankee Stadium effect of the lower infield sections always being empty due to high prices and no-show rich folk.

    Question: what is the area at the top level between home-1st base? Kind of above and to the right of the press box in the pics? I'm not sure I've seen a stadium that keeps that area open, but maybe it's a party deck or something.

    It is an area for writers from the media who keep stats, etc.  I think?  

  2. There isn't a bad seat in the house.  The views from all over make you feel like you are much closer and right on top of the field, especially in the outfield.   These pictures don't really do justice to how much closer the views are.  The infield and field itself looks closer in person then it does in the pics. Even from centerfield, you feel like you are right on top of the infield and close to the game itself.   This element is a big upgrade from the old ballpark in my opinion.  The view from centerfield when we started our tour and various views from the outfield and infield upper decks that show how much closer and on top you are to the field itself. These have to be some of the best views in baseball:

  3. The nice part about the walkways is how they reversed where the concessions so that you can still see the field.   They even have those narrow table tops right behind the seats for people to stand up and enjoy their food and beverage (while watching the game) without having to go back to their seat.

  4. It's a different story on the inside, though still feeling bare (like a new home without home decor)and lacking personality, it has much potential.  When I stepped inside, one of the first things I noticed was the roof.  Any idea what this red material is?

  5.  As promised, here are the photos I took of Globe LIfe Field on my tour.  

    Taken from the east side, you can see the juxtaposition of the two stadiums both in theme and in personality.   Here are a few pictures I took of the exterior along with Texas Live   Note that much of the exterior is made of Texas limestone, which in a way contradicted my earlier opinion that this was lacking in a Texas theme.  Maybe symbolically, but combine the limestone and Texas Live it does give off a modern Texas metropolitan or urban feel to it.  But it steel lacks the personality and charm of the old ballpark.

    Some guy on MLB Network said there was a "wood thing" at one of the entrances with lines to "all the towns in Texas" except Houston at one of the entrances?

    I must have missed it.  We started the tour at the left field entrance and I bailed on my tour group to go take photos ...for surly.

    Gonna post this here.

    Some of you maybe aware of Skyler.  If he was in charge of the Rangers and Mavs unis I'd be a lot happier.  

    Proceeds from these shirts go to benefit North Texas Food Bank and Bonton Farms which is an amazing org if you haven't heard of them.

     

    I love the throwback logo.  Cheaper than anything you'll get at the fan shop

     

     

    I'd love to get that powder blue version for Sunday games.

    The ballpark was a work of art. The new stadjum is a shitshow. They better hope the a/c works really good.

    The ballpark certainly had a strong Texas theme to it which gave it alot of character.  This one, they left that element out and it really has no personality at all, though I love the different angles of the outfield part of the stadium with varying angles and how left field kind of just slants inwards towards center  as if a baseball field is adjoining some another entity.

    This is not the politically rally thread, but this is going to be a major event and point of discussion today and possibly (but hopefully not) for days to come.

    This isn't the thread to push or talk about support for any candidate it is a thread to discuss the activities in and around the BOK center in Tulsa on June 20th. 

    May God help us all.

    Is this the thread where it would be appropriate to drop in and say: "Fuck Oklahoma?"
