The Las Vegas A's Stadium Pics

Another point of reference is the Lotus Temple in Delhi, India. Much lesser known in American than the Sydney Opera House, but still rather amazing. It is crazy coming up on this after navigating the rest of Delhi.
Outfielders, hitters, and catchers are going to hate that park. What a horrible batters eye and all the overhead stuff is going to make tracking fly balls really difficult.

The AAA Las Vegas Aviators have a standard open air stadium. It’s a hitter’s paradise.
I mean if Oakland fans showed up instead of having 200 people at a game I'd agree. Even when the Royals are dog s*** they get relatively decent crowds.
This is a long, sordid tale, but ownership got exactly the attendance they were shooting for. They’d have no trouble filling a new stadium without a gold digging prick for an owner.
It feels like Vegas is moving more towards "innovation" and new ideas lately. e.g. The Sphere
I think this look really cool. Love it.
So is cremation. I think I'll pass on going to a game there.Not sure, but it’s a dry heat.
The Royals are in the bottom 4th in attendance every year, the only thing making them look good crowd wise is Oakland, Miami and St. Pete. KC is a football town, and the Royals just struggle getting people to go to their games during the week. The biggest mistake the Royals made was not jumping at the chance to switch leagues and get 9 home games a year with the Cubs and Cards, but they wanted to keep those 3 games hosting Boston and the Yankees and it was a mistake.
They will get a little bump from moving downtown, but they just have never developed that regional market size like the Cardinals and Cubs have, they have very few Royals fans in Iowa, even though it's an easy drive down to their games.
The attendance problem for the Royals is that they put out a terrible on field product year after year. When the team is already out of it by the time the weather really warms up in early May, attendance suffers.
In 2014, 15, and 16 when the team was competitive attendance was good.
0% chance it's built as pictured.
As mentioned, this rough would be a nightmare for fly balls. That scoreboard, while neat looking from home plate, would be nearly useless for anyone sitting on the 1st base line and truly useless for anyone in RF. And, lastly, the development of the site also includes the new Bally's hotel at the corner of Tropicana and the strip, which would block any view out of that giant window.
Cool concept, though.

I don't think so. Believe the ESPN article mentioned the OF view of Vegas skyline is glass. Could be some of those vertical glass panels are movable to create open air environment.
I like the look. But seems like structure could create some odd shadows and maybe odd airflows.
