Not surprised when dealing with structures over 90 years old. Just a matter of time until they become unsafe.

The scaffolding collapsed, not the structure. I would assume the scaffolding was not 90 years old.

That's true, but the age of these parks have to come into question within our lifetimes.

The amount of buildings in NY and Boston older than Fenway is pretty high. It'll need repairs, but it should be able to stand for quite a while.

 

It was the weeks old stuff that collapsed, not the 90 year old stuff.

Must be union work.

They clearly don't make stuff as good as they used to. Therefore, I'd trust the thing that's been standing for 90 years over something that's been standing only a few weeks. Fenway is still standing, meanwhile many stadiums that were built LONG after Fenway have already been torn down, should be torn down or are no longer safe enough to use, etc....

 

The Padres didn't just decide to build a new ballpark. They used the structure of Qualcomm in need of major repairs as their bargaining chip.

Must be union work.
