re: TD Ameritrade Park....What's the big deal about the dimensions?

actually the deminsions have nothing to do with the complaining. Yes its big but here are two reasons TD Ameritrade seems like a bigger stadium than the blatt. (which it is not)
1. the bats make every stadium seem bigger than it really is. This is the dead bat era.
2. the direction of the stadium has changed. I've only been to the stadium once but I believe the wind blows mostly in from right or right to left. In the Blatt if the wind blew mostly in that direction that means it would be blowing out towards left at the blatt
so 1 the ball doesn't fly off the bat like it use to and 2 the wind knocks down most of the balls in this park.
translate this park seems to big, when it is the same dimensions of the blatt. If you remember correctly a Texas team who had not been a home run team all year hit solo shot after solo shot.
