Wrigley and Fenway should be plowed to the ground. MLB should require modern stadiums. They are both dumps.Kentucky kid wrote: ↑15 Aug 2026 19:03 pm Honestly I cannot believe that this was worthy of a story but believe it or not it was.Honestly I doudt anyone on this site cares if John Rooney does not like wrigley field.

Dumps are sometimes good. I cant imagine MLB without either landmark. I just dont want them to be the Cardinals home.Jatalk wrote: ↑16 Aug 2026 07:34 amWrigley and Fenway should be plowed to the ground. MLB should require modern stadiums.

I understand the historical importance to some extent but if they can rebuild Yankee stadium they can rebuild these dumps. I know my opinion is not popular.RamFan08NY wrote: ↑16 Aug 2026 07:41 amDumps are sometimes good. I cant imagine MLB without either landmark.

These parks are beloved, and Wrigley has gone through extensive updates.
I makes me wish they invested in Sportsman’s park

Not misinformed. I know about supposed renovations. Spent a lot of money on and around Wrigley.

MLB needs those parks. I loved the old ‘66-05 Busch and have many fond memories of it. I love that the new park went Retro-Classic. That said, I am a bit jealous of the Green Monster and the Wrigley Ivy. Such unique and distinguished features.
In my opinion, the uniqueness of MLB Stadiums is what makes them great! In some parks like Mile High, Pittsburgh, Busch, PacBell, the outfield scenery is the feature.
Compare that to arenas and NFL Stadiums, they’re almost indistinguishable from one another outside of field logos. Nothing feels reverent because it isn’t.
People will remember the Ballpark at Arlington because of the distinctive features and highlights of Albert Pujols’ 3-Homer Game in the World Series. I would bet many Hoosiers don’t recall where Indiana won the 2025 NCAA Championship Game.

I’m a Cardinal fan through and through, but Wrigley is one of my favorite places on earth when it’s cubs vs cards.BleedingBleu wrote: ↑16 Aug 2026 08:28 am MLB needs those parks.

Makes you wish Comisky, Tiger, Shieb, Yankee and Ebbets were still around.

If you had, you would know why they moved. No parking, no Metro-Link, a very difficult place to get to, very small seating capacity, a multi-purpose stadium was needed to accommodate Big Red football and a declining neighborhood. And I'm sure there were more reasons.ecleme22 wrote: ↑16 Aug 2026 08:30 amNo, but I wish I could’veOldRed wrote: ↑16 Aug 2026 08:30 amDid you ever attend a game at Old Busch (Sportsman's Park).ecleme22 wrote: ↑16 Aug 2026 08:15 amYou’re misinformed.Jatalk wrote: ↑16 Aug 2026 07:44 amI understand the historical importance to some extent but if they can rebuild Yankee stadium they can rebuild these dumps.

I’ll give the Mets some credit for incorporating design cues from Ebbets when they built Citi Field.
I feel like the loss of Tigers Stadium has made the Detroit Tigers very forgettable

I have been to almost 50 MLB ballparks. Old Comiskey was dank, smelly, dirty, and cramped. Best ballpark I've ever been to. Fenway and Wrigley are two great ballparks. The only problem with Wrigley is that the Cubs play there.RamFan08NY wrote: ↑16 Aug 2026 07:41 amDumps are sometimes good. I cant imagine MLB without either landmark.
