I fixed the link

and here is the post:

lunatic....

It's going to be bad. Terrible sightlines, too small, not protected from weather. the Cardinals went cheap on it. I mentioned this before, but it will hurt them because visiting sportswriters will be critical of the new stadium.

Also, the press box is so small, I question whether MLB will put an All-Star game here. Won't be able to accomodate the standard amount of media.

Do you think those first two posters were setting Bernie up to look stupid?

Old Busch gave the very best sightlines to the media. That row of boxes/suites right behind home plate, wow. So, in the new Busch they gave those sightlines to the paying customers, egad, the fans. How could they be so stupid!

Well, we know what the media's take on the new stadium will be:

1. Palace for fat cats who pay big bucks and took our sweet sight lines.
2. My hot dog is cold
3. My laptop got wet
4. I miss the rats

I've got the world's smallest violin playing for these guys. The Rams press box is surrounded by cirrus clouds its up there so high.

Spot on. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

Maybe he's right.

I don't care.

Watching the game in the old stadium was a nightmare at times. Horrible sightlines. Just a rotten place to 'view' a game. Mind you, the memories are great....but I for one am looking forward to my new season seats in a more fan friendly ballpark.

Ya know, maybe the pressbox wouldn't seem so small to Bernie if he didn't weigh 300 pounds.

Yep. And he fell for it.

Any answer he makes is going to get slammed. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

I think the press boxes should be the most opulent you can afford with enviornmental controls.

Should they have great site lines? I don't think so, as long as there are a ton of monitors.

I think Moon summed it up over there.

We're going to invite Mike_Smith over.

Why do you folks hate Bernie so much? Is this left over from the Pressbox revolt? I seem to find it pretty cool that he posts that stuff on the Pressbox. He does have an insight that most of us will never have privy to.
