Just pointing out that the team isn't spending it's own money to do this.

They have upgraded the stadium, but I'm pretty sure that's part of the agreement they had with the State.  They aren't just taking it upon themselves to spend their money.

Heck they dragged their feet on replacing a scoreboard that was so outdated that it was almost impossible to get parts for until they could get the State to pay for it.

I don't blame them for doing it that way but I sure don't want them to get a bunch of credit for it either.

Ok, so it has nothing to do with what I was saying.  That’s what I thought.

It's called searching for any negative angle there could possibly be.

I can see why you wouldn't be interested in someone providing context.

You provided nothing but trolling, per usual.

Your comment had zero to do with me saying the team has done a good job with the changes they have made to the park over the years.

Who paid for it has zero to do with what I said.  RZ is right.  All your comment was about was finding some kind of a negative angle.

According to this graph the Orioles now have the deepest LF in baseball. Camden yards outlined in yellow versus all 30 other parks. Still looks like the shallowest RF porch.

Only thing I really don't like is the notch in left center. They better paint that perpendicular piece of wall bright neon or Hays is undoubtedly going to run into it trying to cover the deep gap.

I could see the jag giving left-fielders some chances at this kind of highlight.   I think left-center in Camden will get more traffic than this Fenway jag in center-right-center.    Towering shots that come down within a few feet of the angle I could even imagine plays where both the LF and the CF get a shot at the robbery.

I think that is you being elitist and thinking that the style of baseball you prefer is somehow superior.

But it is.  My way is better, it was proven.  I have a paper around here somewhere.

For context, what percentage of money spent on stadium modifications and renovations come from MLB teams, and what percentage comes from governments?  I'd like to know exactly how ambivalent I need to be about this.

The cut out will make it interesting for a 381 foot homerun but if its hit 2 feet left its a flyout and vice versa

I want them to make that cutout an acute angle, so the ball could be home run if it's hit 381 feet, but not if it's 385.
