re: New stadium in Omaha, not small ball/homerun related

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.

I was hoping for cool weather and a nice breeze. We got the low 80's which was perfect. NO f'in breeze in any of the 4 games we went to. Building the stadium in a hole would help explain that.

I went to Rosenblatt in 2003 and was in awe of the atmosphere. Just like walking into Tiger Stadium, you could feel the energy and knew the place was special.
Getting rid of Rosenblatt was a terrible decision.
