    Pretty much. They're still cookie cutters, just in a different shape. But you figure most people only experience their home park, and it's a formula that works.

    If you're a team owner/city government/financial backer, and they can take you to Cleveland and say, "This park has sold eight zillion tickets in a place where there was previously no reason to go watch baseball," you're not going to say, "Build me an eight-tiered stadium in the shape of New Jersey with purple and orange bench seating." You're going to ask for a modified version of the same thing.

    Give it 60 days and they'll be naming it "US Government Field." {/political_jack}

    Good.

    Naming rights to stadiums, bowl games, the third pisser from the left on the second-deck bathroom just annoy me.

    They made one big mistake. It's still in Queens.

    And of course the moment is ruined by SNY pandering to that asshole by showing his fat fucking mug. They just made his week. Look at me I work so hard I have to be in the dugout! On the top step, even!

    Are you fucking kidding me? My shred of decorum prevents me from saying what I want to say here. Fuck that fucking asshole.

    (nice impersonation by Santana though)
