    The Western Metal SC building was historic to SD and the initial plans was to get rid of it but the architects decided to incorporate and build the stadium design from the building. They actually had to turn the stadium more northward because of it. I think it's a cool feature and it's interesting the impact the building had on the construction of Petco Park. My favorite stadium in MLB!

      Originally they were going to tear down the building when petco was built, but they changed their mind at the last minute. They had to move the build from over a block away to incorporate it into the ball park.
      There are a lot of great things about petco Park, but the western metal building is one of the coolest.

Wiser heads prevailed and the Astros got rid of it, along with that ridiculous light pole on the playing field.

    This was a neat video. I was never a big baseball fan, but I did stats for my high school. This is something I always enjoyed about baseball is how each place has its own set of rules dealing with the elements of the field. Our high school field was very ordinary and even for distances and shape of the park. So seeing these was really cool.

  • @thelegalsystem
    @thelegalsystem 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Not quite the same, but when the roof is open at Safeco, it covers a nearby train track. This makes the train horns much louder in the stadium as the sound reflects off the roof and into the park. Its pretty awesome if you're there for it live, and I know I've heard it at least once on a broadcast game.

      Yes, if they stop and throw their hands up the play gets marked as dead and it becomes a ground rule double so the baserunners can only advance 2 bases at the most. If they try to go and get the ball then the play is still live and there's about a 90% chance the batter will get a triple or better.
      It's one of the few times giving up is actually the right play.
