Worst thing to happen to baseball?

6 dollar beers

 

Thread over.

 

At Wrigley, it's really not a terrible deal when you figure what a beer would cost you in surrounding bars for a prime time/location.

I would say neither since baseball keeps breaking attendance records and is more popular than ever even in the midst of the steriod scandal.

Just out of curiousity, which cookie-cutter parks came out and are gone by now?

 

RFK

Busch II

Three Rivers

Riverfront

Veteran's

 

Astrodome.

 

 

Shea, in '09

 

Atlanta-Fulton County

 

I would throw New Comiskey/Cell in the "cookie-cutter parks that are still alive and kicking" category.

The old Arlington Stadium would have been of the cookie-cutter variety.

i hope baseball has more fans than it did in 1950. i mean the population of the United States has like doubled in that timeframe.
