      if you scan out with your ticket to the smoking section, you can go hit up the bars just outside the park for $2 beers... used to do this all the time... watch the first inning, go to the bar and get sauced up,, come back for the 7th to watch the end

    Far cry from the days when Albert Belle's mammoth playoff grand slam was framed by screaming fans along the left field upper deck stands as that ball sped towards the packed left field bleacher seats. I even liked the old auxiliary digital scoreboard that gave folks watching at home the exact day and date the game was being played.
    As a Yankees fan, I recall seeing Derek Jeter's first home run framed by that left field wall telling folks it was April 2nd, 1996. Good old Phil Rizzuto on WPIX 11 calling the shot at then Jacob's Field. ❤

    Red seats would look better. And I think it has too many bars. They already have “the corner”. I would’ve left the upper deck seats alone and just made the Terrence club a beer garden like they’re going to, I don’t think the ball club needs 4 - 5 bars.

    They’re removing seats because no one goes to baseball games anymore. So a lot of stadiums the outfield upper decks are getting revamped for like standing bar/recreation areas. Personally, I think baseball seasons are too long. I know it’s been like that for around 120 years but it is ridiculous how long a season drags on. And if your team is not doing too good, it’s almost comical with these empty seat stadiums look like daring a game.

    I think this is evidence of MLB dying. IMO, don't be surprised if you see the number of MLB teams "shrink" in the next 10 years.
    I am an old guy, and IMO, the game today isn't as entertaining to watch. I used to long for baseball season, as well as every game. But, unfortunately, not any more.
    Every batter seems to want to hit home runs. The shift rules and bigger bases have brought back "small ball" (which I like, by the way), but still, IMO, the batters are still trying to hit home runs. They want the stats. They want the big contracts.
    The starting pitchers rarely make it past the 4th inning. They all want to throw 100+ miles per hour. Gone is the art of pitching.
    Sad.

    • @kingrazo10

      Not necessarily, it’s just smarter to renovate to make the stadium look better. Look at nba, nhl, and mls stadiums are all smaller capacity and for this reason it’s a lot easier to sell out games. An avg mlb game is still attracting close to 30k per game, and especially this year mlb had its highest in attendance in over a decade. While you may not have that same passion for the game I can tell you me and many others still do. Maybe that’s just the kid in me (young 20s) but I still look forward to baseball every year

    Just sad what this has become. Dolan bowed to the woke MLB and the comish Manford to drop chief wahoo and the Indians name to get a all star game which has upset probably 90% of the fan base.
    Dolan does not care about putting money into this team for top FA signings hence why the organization is taking seats out because more and more people are not coming!
    They can say they are making the fan experience better but in reality they are putting in standing room only areas, more bars and food to try and get people to spend more dollars from the less attendance they have experienced since causing all the problems.
    Mr Dolan should sell the team to the minority ownership and hopefully the first move they can make is atleast restore the name Indians!
    The Guardians name is awful and the second thing that should happen is go get some power hitting to go with all that pitching!
    If you put a championship caliber team on the field the fans have showed we will show out!
    455 straight sellouts is all that needs to be said if we can get a good owner like Dick Jacob's was in the 90's.
    Until then it's mediocre finishes with low attendance!!
