I’d push back slightly, since with the modern ballparks (post Camden Yards) there was a craze of asymmetrical fields and “features.” Since Kauffman predates this, it maintains the simplicity and symmetry of the design intent of the 70's stadiums, but avoids the oppressive concrete ashtray aesthetic you got from…

Absolutely. I remember attending a panel at a sports convention and there was vigorous discussion on whether you place a stadium near the population center core, or nearer to the fans who go. It’s a risk/reward scenario. 

This is truly, truly terrible.

I went last year and ate at the BLVD Craft and Draft which was pretty good, but didn’t check the rest of the concessions. Last time I did there was a Gates location, so I’m disappointed it’s no longer there. 

Interesting. Oakland in the early 1990s was like that, before they built that giant section in CF. While I too like the aesthetic, the transport issue clouds that value for me. Dodger stadium is a hellscape I wish on no person to get into or out of.

That’s been a big debate among the KC branch of my family (now that the new terminal at KCI is underway). The only negative of the K is getting there. The location is fine for football since generally most people make a football game a huge production. But when you have 81 games a season, the emphasis should be on…

There used to be a Gates stand. Well, that’s disappointing. 

Kauffman stadium is one of my favorite ballparks to watch a game. Even though it’s a 1970's design, it was done so without football in mind, so the seats are optimized for baseball viewing. The renovation they did five or six years ago improved amenities and the fan experience. The concessions are generally local,…

The algorithm is suggesting Eddie “The Eagle” content. Maybe the computers taking over the world wont be so terrible.

Unless it’s in military time.

When a friend of mine started to learn how to cook, he did the same thing. He’s become a very good cook, but when he gets too uppity about his skills I remind him of his “Dead Sea Wings” (and the time he grilled a steak with the pad still on it.)

I get your reaction, but having been to three Winter Classics, from an attendees perspective a game where you arent bundled up in 50 layers because its 50 degrees out instead of 35 would be pleasant.

Case in point. I was in Dallas earlier this month for work. (Protip: Off the Bone BBQ)

A good friend is a Cowboys fan, despite having grown up in the town next to Foxboro. To troll him when he gets talking about “America’s Team”, another friend and I agreed to assign that label to The Nashville Predators and then we just talk about Nashville and Roman Josi, when he brings up the Cowboys. It’s quite…

Damn it, Jerry!

This is absolute chonk

Using UN Data, roughly 4.3 billion people have been born since the Bears last won the Super Bowl. Out of 7.7 billion people, that’s 55% of the World that was not alive for the Bears Super Bowl win. 

For me football season starts when my friend, a Bears fan, makes his annual joke. “Based on the Bears jerseys, George Halas died again in the off-season.”

Second most famous double doink in Bears history. 

The ball bearings keep double doinking off the upright.
