The Astro games at Orange Juice Park usually start with the lid closed, then around the 6th or 7th inning after the sun sets they open it up. I've been to a few games where they started out with the lid off. Our seats were in direct sun for the first several innings and it was ring out the shirt time before the shade arrived. It was a lucrative day for the beer vendor.
Hear hear! By halftime the only way to tell which team is which is by the color of their helmets. :okthumb:

yeah, for attending in person, gimme the comfort. here we have the georgia dome for football. hard to believe that thing is 16 years old now. it's not a bad venue, and they've recently done some nice renovations to make it last til they decide what to do on it's eventual replacement. but i miss the weather being a factor.
i like those old games where everyone is bundled up like a snow bunny, maybe even a little snow on the field or even enough where they start blowing off a path for the kicker so he has a chance of nailing a field goal so someone can eventually score and end the thing. and there's always that one guy without a shirt on even if it's 0 degrees out....ya gotta respect a drunk's determination to get on tv.
here in the south, no snow, but we would get some mud bowls at old fulton county stadium.
Turner Field has lost some ground on the great new parks in San Diego, San Fran, etc. But it's still a great place to watch a game. But it has that same issue with the sun. if you set on the first base line and are down low enough to be close to the field, you need to be turned and basted by the second inning. |
