    It'd be awesome if the "dome" for the stadium, when covered, was transparent, so it still had an open air feel to it. Maybe that's what that weird umbrella tower is, a dome slider thingamabob

    Although I'm gonna take your word for it not being intended as a compliment I'm still going to take it as a compliment.

    It looks pretty cool imo, I’m not a baseball fan so I am probably not the best judge heh.

    When you said watching the Stos I was thinking drinking some Strohs. Strohs used to be a very popular mid West brand of beer.

    While that would be extremely cool, it would also be extremely expensive. It might price me out of some games. The games that I would go to would be really cool, though.

    I hate it, looks like a bedpan, but I'll take it if it means MLB baseball in Portland. Lots of horrible buildings going up all over town, this is just one more (if it ever happens).

    Ha I remember those Strohs runs in college during those years. The beer was good enough and the price was very right.

    I never remember it in Portland but I do remember it in the Mid West in the 60s thru the 80s. At the same time Reingold was popular in the NE. I saw mountains of Reingold, Oly, Bud and Schlitz in VN. They had large palates of beer stacked about 15 feet high in huge cubes.

    Edit - Corrected spelling of Schlitz.
