@SportsBandbox @LastComiskey @brooklynmuseum Amazing

[MLB Cathedrals @MLBcathedrals]

@Jusuke500 Correct take

Rays release newest ballpark renderings. Via: Populous

[MLB Cathedrals @MLBcathedrals]

@BuckeyeNatty Well written, thank you

[MLB Cathedrals @MLBcathedrals]

@Jon_Luken @FreddyLA7 It’s close, both views are spectacular. I give the outfield setup (walls, use of the water) edge to Oracle, but the fact that PNC is the only post Camden Yards to have only two decks without a large layer (Comerica) of suites gives it the edge.

Tunkhannock Viaduc, completed in 1915. Inspiration for the frieze at original Yankee Stadium. Also, Big Boy is awesome.

@TomaRomas @puckandrally Best sightlines in baseball, you were right in top of the field. You could. All you have to do is angle the seats slightly to modernize it

[MLB Cathedrals @MLBcathedrals]

@puckandrally They did a study, it was actually so overbuilt that they could have taken out half of the view obstructing support columns and added suites above the upper deck

@White_Sox_Dave @ChicagoMag Thank you

[MLB Cathedrals @MLBcathedrals]

@architecturejks This is fun, like one third of all my photos 😆

[MLB Cathedrals @MLBcathedrals]

@IffyTheDopester Correct

[Chicago magazine @ChicagoMag]

Heading to any Sox games this weekend? Imagine where you *could* be sitting in a new ballpark... https://t.co/RAZ6Ju89Bk

[MLB Cathedrals @MLBcathedrals]

New: Just released rendering of a West Sacramento ballpark and entertainment district, the proposal is part of an effort to gain a @MLB expansion bid…

[MLB Cathedrals @MLBcathedrals]

@DrewfromJersey Correct

[TomLoxas @TomLoxas]

Modern stadiums killed the rooftop homer. What if we brought it back?
@Travis_Sawchik and @MLBCathedrals designed a White Sox ballpark that would. New episode of The Lore.

@TodayInSportsCo Not my list. No way Yankee Stadium is in top 10. If Wrigley is in top 5 so is Fenway.

[MLB Cathedrals @MLBcathedrals]

Yes, Comiskey Park should have gotten the Fenway treatment. Same with Tiger Stadium. Comiskey Park wasn’t maintained the way it should have been (owner Bill Veeck didn’t have the money and it went beyond disrepair). There was no excuse for Tiger Stadium

Jim, last week I went to Fenway for the 1st time. Being in a 114-yr-old ball park was magical. You’ve worked in so many venues. Why don’t more franchises keep their old ball parks? For example, the White Sox had been in Comiskey so long, & they bulldozed it. @JWMediaDC

The mere fact that fans can go watch a baseball get blasted straight into a brick building that's been standing in the middle of the city since before World War I is so sick.

No other sport like it.
