Video Footage Sunday's victory at Busch Stadium.

[Bixby]

5 rows from the field. This should give you a decent look at the new ballpark. Which is a complete "Class A" experience by the way.

Wow. That's pretty tight. Great seats... and any other home video on YouTube about the Cubs game are very short. Good work!

For original content? If they flag this for infringement, I'm calling Selig. I have some choice words for him.

BTW, the stadium is trash. I'm not saying this because I'm a Cub fan either. It doesn't even come close to comparing to SF/Mil/Pitt/AZ/SD or any of the new parks. Total crap job. And they tried to make it look just like the old Busch in too many spots, ridiculous.

I am not assuming you haven't been to any of those places...But I truely hope you are only judging it against places you have actually been to.

I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with taking video AT a game and posting it on YouTube, as opposed to TV footage which would be illegal. I may be wrong on this, though.

I would think you are. I bet there is something on the back of the ticket that says you can't take video there and also warns of foul balls and flying bats from former Cub shortstops.

I like the park, but I too am surprised at the multiple attempts to bring design elements from Busch II into play. No other cookie-cutter was revered in this way.

i love the fact that you caught the rook heading out to the bullpen with a little pink backpack

Have you been to a game at Busch III yet? It's obviously a work in progress since 1/6 of the park is still closed off and being worked on. Once they finish the park and Ballpark Village and fix some of the signage (too many ads) the place will be pretty good. No great but pretty good.

 

Have you been to Milwaukee? OMG that place sucks total a**. How can it be less than 10 years old and feel 20+? I went there once when a sudden thunderstorm came through: had to move because the roof leaked.

 

SF and Pitt are the bomb: been to games at both. Though the 30,000 empty seats in Pitt take away from the experience the view and stadium is great.

 

Haven't been to a game at B.O.B.

 

Petco doesn't impress me. Was there last March and didn't see the game but it looks "bleh" from the outside. And I hate those weird corners for no reason.

 

Bad is the Metrodome: only 5000 good seats in that abomination.

Bad is Shea stadium: when the jets fly over.

Bad is Dolphins Stadium: only good for football, horrible for baseball.

Bad is Tropicana field: everything about the place.

Bad is Minute Maid: the name, the train and the short left field I could homer on.

Bad is Yankee Stadium: it's not the house Ruth built. It's the field Ruth played on and the CBS gut rehabbed in the early 70's.

Bad is Fenway: unless you're shorter than 5'6" and very narrow hips: you'll be miserable.

Bad is Oakland: horrible for football, worse for baseball.

 

Fair is Los Angeles: you can only enter at a specific gate and can't walk around. I'm nopt talking about sitting in someone else's seat, I'm talking about just walking around and seeing the place.

 

Good is Atlanta: nice park, sucky fans.

Good is Kansas City: 30,000 empty seats on the weekend, but nice park.

Good is Seattle: except when trains go by. Great food though.

 

(and yes I've been all these places)

No, I'll be honest, I am completely judging them on T.V. viewing only. I was just expecting a much nicer park, that's all. I guess I will have to see it next year when it's done.

Have you been to Coors? I think it's a really nice park...apart from the air.

 

I got to go on a tour of Minute Maid for a scientific convention last year. It seemed pretty cool to me, but then, any park that you get to walk around in while its empty is probably pretty cool. I especially liked that the flag pole in center still had a smudge on it from when (Sexton?) crushed a (single or double?) 550 ft.
