OT MLB to PDX: We're talking baseball to PDX

I appreciate you say that as someone that went to the Coliseum a lot and have fond memories there because that place was the definition of DUMP by the time I got there. I have a personal ranking system that looks at history in the park, views from the park, fan experience and the neighborhood around it. Let's just say the Coliseum didn't rank high in anything with it's best score being history but it's a clear last and that's saying something because Comisky (at least when I went) is pretty bad too.

 

Miller Park is nice....

 

The Raiders really messed things up as far as the stadium goes. Add to that the last twenty years of spending $0 on upgrades, and you have the worst stadium in MLB. That’s a whole other story. But pre- fancy suites and technology and fireworks, with the place near full every night and them winning championships, it was electric.

 

Haven't been since they've done a little bit of renovating, but growing up in Chicago, comiskey sucked, and the area around it was rough. There were bullet holes found in the seats during construction, likely from the housing projects across the highway. Absolutely nothing around. You get in your car and get the hell out after the game.
Now I believe those housing projects are torn down and replaced with fancy condos.

White Sox/Rays/Reds…… dumps.
Favorite setting watch even though I hate the game….SF/Pittsburgh . Very scenic.

 

Cincy isn’t a dump dude. Git outta here with dat boolshit.

 

Cinergy Field was a dump. The new stadium looks nice. Cinergy was turf. Baseball in a turf stadium is like a different sport.

But who ever goes to Cincinnati.

 

Great American Ballpark was opened 20 years ago in Cincy. SMH.

 

Cuz smoothie king arena is a cathedral. Gimme a break.

 

Incorrect... it opened over 22 years ago.

 

Which was probably before the last time the Reds were relevant. Maybe the early 90’s

 

That's fair ... I admittedly went during the Raiders years and that formed my opinion of it

 

Yea I went in the late 90s (spring of 98) and it was ROUGH ... a run down stadium, in a run down area with nothing to do pre or post game, especially for a couple of teenagers just out exploring Chicago on their own. We didn't even stay to the end of the game if I remember right. It was along the lines of Yankee Stadium's atmosphere outside the gates where the MTA cops told us before the game, "you have about 30 minutes from the end of the game to be back on the train and get out of here."

 

Not a single person said it was. You place is a dump!

 

Please make sense

 

Typing while driving. Lose the last sentence

 

Please don't text and drive. Safety first.

 

When you think you may need to respond to a text while just take a breath. Have a drink. Relax.

It can wait.
