[QUOTE]Originally posted by Railroad Bob: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by zephyr:And you know, that's something you just can't take away from my team. You two will have to live with "Minute Maid" and "Petco" for a long, long time. Yuk. Like, what comes to mind when you think of Petco Park (honey, will you take FiFi out for a walk). Stadiums where the most sacred of all games are played simply should not be named so lamely. I rest my case. Speaking of which, I just bought one. Ah, Buschhhhhh...... [/QB][/QUOTE]Right you are, zephyr. In their furious attempt to be a "modern day" baseball venue, here are a couple of things I noticed at games at Petco (San Diego.) They have eliminated the wonderful organ interludes during games, that we have all heard since childhood and generations before that. Petco's seats are tiny and cramped, in order to cram more fans in. The PA system is way too loud, and the operators use rap and bling-bling effects to "impress" the fans. I do like the AC/DC Highway to Hell they play when Trevor Hoffman tries to save. There is a constant cacophony at Petco, and rarely a quiet moment during innings where you can catch your thoughts as in other parks. "Friar franks" (Padre dogs) were delivered to me with STALE BUNS. And finally, the Padres are a less-than-scintillating team and do odd things such as break key players ribs in "clubhouse celebrations." I just want old-fashioned baseball without this kind of spin. Go Good Sox! [/QB][/QUOTE]
