it's just amazing how people on here can bitch and moan about something like that....and they're wrong to begin with...the word STUPID comes to mind.

look at the railings at the top of the two sections of right field bleachers.....they are not exactly level with each other....YA THINK they would realize this....as usual on here...the mouth speaks before the brain thinks...WHO WOULDDA THUNK IT!

Hey Einstein.....it is level.....anytime a pic of something like that is taken and it's not DEAD CENTER, it'll not look level....


Obviously you haven't been to a game yet. It is not level. It's not even close.

It looks level enough to me from left but I just figured I was too far away.

The problem with the pictures is barrel distortion caused by using a zoom lens.

I sat in the grandstands directly across from the intimidator and it is definitely crooked.

It's level. The bleachers however, are not.

A simple fix to the problem, to those who think its crooked, is to call Lamar and ASK THEM TO CHECK IT OUT! I guarantee, that is the most looked at billboard in Louisiana...and they WILL check it out.

This pic may shed some additional light on whether or not it's level:



It clearly looks higher on the right side to me in that pic. It's not not much, but there is a difference.

I've been to a couple games and noticed this opening night. Commented about it to my buddy when I was describing the stadium to him. I don't know if it's the bleachers or the sign itself that make it look not level. It's hard to imagine lamar would screw this up and not make it level. It is after all, what they do. Whatever the problem is, from the 3rd base dugout, it does not look level

There's about 2349038 things to take into consideration...

- Outfield wall is not straight
- Bleachers are not at the same angle/height
- Angle of the Billboard
- "bend" in the post can create an illusion

so does the grass in right. guess a grounder hit to right will eventually end up in center? kinda like a shitty pool table

I'm aware the picture is tilted. I'm comparing the angle of the bottom of the wall in front to the angle of the top of the sign. I'm not seeing a match there.

You're assuming that is level...
