For obvious reasons. But those who build Stadia are like car manufacturers. Different bells and whistles, and views overlooking downtown or the bay, or with domes neutralizing the wind effect, and ever changing depths of fences. Very interesting since no argument could be made about football stadia or basketball arenas. I’m on your side Buttoneer. Relative to Baseball the only concrete solid fact I am aware of is that Michael Jack Schmidt is the greatest third baseman ever to play the game. I’m sure everyone is in agreement.
