TDAmeritrade Stadium feels like you're entering a shopping mall rather than a ball park.

At Rosenblatt you could spit and no one cared or even noticed.

At TDAS you keep waiting for someone to tell you to wipe your feet or remove your shoes as you enter.

Rosenblatt had wood seats and steel girders. TDAS has plastic seats with aluminum trim.

Rosenblatt was a baseball temple built on a hilltop. TDAS is a baseball kiosk built on a landfill swamp at the lowest point in Omaha where the playing field is lower than the Missouri River that runs less than a quarter mile away.

In Rosenblatt you could feel a breeze all the time. In TDAS the only breeze is created by the hordes of gnats which are angry because they've had their swamp stolen from them.

I miss Rosenblatt. I hate TDAS.

Sat with an old friend whose son plays for MSU for Fridays game. 2pm game was brutally hot! Row 31 of lower level (116) , great seats until the ball was hit, overhang blocked all fly balls, and created a sauna effect, and blocked the very nice 15-20 mph winds blowing in from center. But it was no worse than TS for one of those ESPN 6pm games in September. Those green shiny flies in Omaha bite! And they sting! And the sign nazi came running up when someone hung a very generic MSU sign on the railing behind row 31! He was yelling , "Who put that sign up" I was afraid they were gonna get kicked out, and they were players parents!
The rest of my experience here has been very positive, and I will be back, preferably watching Purple and Gold, instead of maroon and white,
