Awesome. Thanks for the explanation. I just thought it looked similar because of the fins that go all the way up and down the building and the building itself has a bit of sleek design to it like Toronto House. I wasn't really thinking it would come out as nice, just sort of wishful thinking...

Yeah I mean I guess the games are shorter, and the fans/parents have more options to get out of the heat for a bit.

What's really disappointing is how the building changed from the original render and commercials. That first rendering was spectacular. Hopefully it still turns out nice really to bad this happens to so many buildings.

So do many American cities for baseball and football. That what kills me about Torontonians. Bunch of whiners. Having that said, some of the stadiums that have retractable roofs for baseball are almost always closed cause of the heat. That's one of the big reasons Texas got a new stadium. The...

I know, but my response was in regards to the post about how it looks from the water and how it effects the skyline. Anyway, maybe my opinion is skewed because of the plethora of ugly green and blue rectangles that have saturated the area.

Yeah I'm going to try that, because when I see the highlights on youtube it's not bad at all so could be a tv thing.

I don't think there's anything wrong at all with SW 1 and 2.

yeah I was wondering the same thing. I could be wrong but I thought it had something to do with the fact that a few days before the home opener it was already warm, and before it for the first time of the season, a certain amount of time at certain degrees need to pass. I thought it was...

I didn't find it quite as bad the last few games. I don't think it was due to me getting used to it. Kind of seemed like they toned down the advertising on the backstop wall and not quite as bright. Maybe they altered the lighting a bit.

Ha! Love this. My subjective opinion of the stadium dictates my loyalty to the team....lol. Seeing as you like the stadium so much, that must mean your some kind of superfan. I'm talking Nav Bhatia category. I love your posts Mark.

Shapiro....is that you???

Not going to be able to sleep tonight. A guy I've never met or never talked to on Urban Toronto has me on his "Ignore list".
