Now different modern baseball arenas in the U.S and all over the world, but question arises when it comes to the most modern and state of the art, well seating capacity stadium. Make a choice of the most modern and well equipped stadium in U.S.
To be honest, I'm not sure how much I'm enjoying a new ballpark. I've found myself at Citi Field and almost never in my seat. Maybe it's still the newness of it all but I'm constantly walking around, looking at things, taking it all in. I'll spend time behind right center, waiting on line at one of those delicious vendors. I'll catch half an inning at the Shea Bridge or some other part of the park catching the game from every angle. A lot of other times, I'm missing shit because I'm climbing up the stairs, heading back to the Promenade, where I belong. Shea was a dump, yes. I don't think anyone will deny that. But the simplicity of it, I now find it endearing. It was symmetrical and laid out so that it's pretty damn easy to figure out where you are sitting (odd numbers 1st base side, even numbers, 3rd base side). And it had so little amenities that you really had no choice but to stay in your seat and watch the game, except for when you wanted the occasional cigarette on the ramp (which they banned the last couple of seasons; surprised it took 'em that long). And Shea had the biggest damn scoreboard you'd ever seen, with two-thirds of if devoted to a giant ad for Anheuser-Busch (usually Budweiser). But it was flanked by the full lineups for each team with their number, position and a nice little red dot letting you know who was up and coming up the next half of the inning. Yes, Shea had its faults. No doubt about that. But it truly served its purpose in more ways than I ever thought a new ballpark would.
