Miami's New Stadium (ideas for our ballpark)

IT HAS A FREAKING AQUARIUM IN IT: ESPN Video Tour

I'm just saying that our new baseball stadium should have one too!

We need those two 450 gallon tanks on the Bluff for Wally Pilot AND his boat!

I've never seen Glee, but I can tell the homerun celebrations are going to be SPECTACULAR!

Fish tanks.... Glee-like home run celebrations? Sounds like they are really going for the serious sports fan....

Personally I have to say it is one of the dumbest thing I've ever seen... And I grew up watching a giant football helmet drive around a field whenever points are scored. I KNOW dumb.

That home run celebration device is understated and classy, just like everything else in Miami. At least, according to an interview I heard today, the ball park is so big that there won't be very many HRs.

What will the bill be to cool that place with AC?

That home run "thing" is embarassing... wow.

The rest of the stadium? Completely excessive. If there is significant government money in it, as a Miami taxpayer, I wouldn't be too pleased...

Seriously, that was it! After finally seeing the video, I was totally underwhelmed. The pin ball machine in my basement has far more lights, actions, and sounds.

Here's my Gusher (it's older than 90% of PN regulars; built in 1958 with real wood rails!). I don't know how many times I've lost to the dreadful "disappearing bumper."
