I hadn't heard he was doing any kind of reduced schedule?   I heard it was primarily him or Ben as color guys all season just like last year, with someone like Dave Johnson doing some fill-in work here and there but not much.

Ahh, for some reason I thought I heard he wasn't doing as many games.  Oh well, whatever.  It's not like I won't watch because Palmer's not on.  Whoever's on is whoever's on.

Im guessing more padding has to go up and they will be blocked.

That's so high up that you don't really need padding there. I wonder if it will be see through plex-glass or something?

I hope not. This thing's already ugly, that would just make it look cheap as well, I think.

It's just different from what was.  Don't really understand "ugly".  If it successfully makes the game more interesting (and we'll see if it does) then I'm all for it.

It looks to me like what it is - a change that has been grafted on (or carved out, I guess) to an existing layout. It has no natural flow with the rest of the park, it looks out of place. And not just because it's new (at least I don't think so....I am TRYING to be objective).

Also, I thought the games were plenty interesting when the team was winning.

I'm pretty sure that's what's on the front of the gaps at our seats on the third level, just to keep it safe.  So would automatically be there for that reason?

Not much left. I like it.

Looks fantastic, and seamless now that its complete. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Still not a huge fan of how the bullpen juts out but it does look a lot better now that it's done.

I like it adds some character to the dimensions. I've loathed the LF dimensions for decades and I'm glad to see they  moved the fence back in that area.

It's admittedly not as big a downgrade to the park as the ugly hotel that blocks off the view of the clock tower, but I continue to really dislike this change. To each their own, I guess.

Biggest surprise to me is that there are no advertisements on the wall yet.

It looks great.
