Re: GABP Changes

Actually, the other day Chris Welsh said the sun causes a glare off the batter's eye on sunny days, or early evening during night games, something they're going to work on during the off season. Why it took three years to address the problem is beyond me.

The sun is brutal in LF as it sets. It glares off the big glass building across FWW and is directly in the LF's eyes. The folks in the bleachers look like they are being baked to death over there (my seats are on the RF line so I'm looking right at them).

I never thought about the reflection off the Walnut Building.

Until recently, my insurance company was housed there. We were having a meeting on the top floor and the conference room, windows floor to ceiling, overlooks the outfield. I remember commenting on what a great view it was.

Re: GABP Changes

I wonder if they can make some kind of shade for that reflection. It might not fit in with the design of the stadium but Bob can always sell advertising on it.

Re: GABP Changes

I asked my father what he thought about the batters eye building.

His response: "You mean that chicken coop they stuck out there?"
