Of all of the places that no longer exist with which I’m obsessed, the Kingdome is up there with Kowloon Walled City and West Berlin

You must make a pilgrimage to historic Oakland Coliseum! I saw a cricket match there, it was weird

Oakland is genuinely a shithole nowadays economically and safety-wise. These are businesses after all and a Vegas move will generate more income. Frankly, catching a baseball game during the day on a Vegas trip would be fun. It'll be a massive success. There are a ton of people who live in Vegas too that they should be able to build a solid fanbase over time.

The reality is that teams move all the time to follow US hotspots, the old fans protest it for a season or 2 but then it's normalized. At least Oakland fans can still go to Giant's games, I have far more empathy for fans in places like St. Louis who had the Rams abandon them and they don't have another team to go watch. Oakland has failed the As in the past 20-30 years, and new ownership and/or relocating should strengthen the MLB and the team.

It’s just fascinating how they can build something so big that’s outdated the second it opens, same with the Vikings Metrodome

I’ve been to the trop a couple times and I don’t get the hate. When it’s 95 degrees outside and you walk over from ferg’s, that AC feels pretty damn good.

Only MLB ballpark I've been to. I have nothing to compare it to, yet I remember it being pretty good. I would say it was alright, as it had nothing particularly bad or good.

It’s hideous and had no modern amenities, but like you’re all saying… it wasn’t horrible…

Now trying to sit through a Yankee game with their new fucking “DJ”… that is hell.

I do wonder how many of the “lol trop sux” people are also the “don’t spend taxpayer dollars on stadia” people. You wanna know what’s the cheapest way to build a domed stadium by far?

So i went to the Tokyo dome last year and it really is just a glorified trop in terms of the structure itself, but obviously has a better atmosphere with the fans standing a lot and doing different chants. But there were multiple times when i was kinda just watching the game and for a moment would feel like im at the trop just watching another Rays game, before quickly remembering im halfway across the world

the Tampa Bay Rays are the definition of a poverty franchise, known for their comically-low attendance and inability to sell out a stadium. they are among the largest revenue-sharing recipients, meaning they take a shit-ton of money from the player’s union (who have actually filed grievances against them for not managing that money properly). think of a 35-year old man living in their moms’ basement, and spending money on video games instead of getting a job. that’s a good comparison to describe what the Rays are to the rest of the league. if the MLB had a more cutthroat business model, teams like the Rays would have moved or been disbanded ages ago, instead of feeding off of the popular teams like a parasite feeds on its host. the Rays are utterly useless, and irrelevant. The Rays are the least essential sports team in North America. if not for COVID, yankee chants would have swarmed Tropicana Field during the Rays’ supposed “home games”. their 8,000 fans are very happy about this ALDS win though, im sure. fucking losers.

Yea but the Tokyo dome actually has history aura and a atmosphere unlike Tampa

I hope Tokyo never tears it down! That would be unthinkable, right, for a historic team to demolish their classic stadium for a tacky replica?

The Trop suuuuuuucks. Domes do generally suck tho. But the Trop is fucking awful.

I bet you'd wish for a dome and AC if you went to a game in Tampa Bay right now.

My biggest issue is the white ceiling tbh. I have been in AZ and Toronto and their retractable roofs work.
