Ill take the old Alex box but not for reason you would think. I know this is a long post but bare with me.
I would have thought that with the amount of money that was spent on the new stadium the design for would have been given to a firm that had designed a pro baseball stadium. Although DR group had designed a couple of small baseball parks they are more known for building public buildings. What we got was a beautiful park that plays like a public building not a real baseball stadium. Companies that are known for building baseball parks would have spent some time modeling the air flows associated with how the baseball flies to build a hitters ball park. Any first year architect would have known that blocking the air flow with the concessions and bathrooms between the stands and press boxes kills the airflow and deadens the ball flight.
So even though the old Alex Box isn't as nice it was a hitters park.
