So post it.
This is the first I’m hearing about climate change in regards to this park. I can’t imagine it’s a widespread opinion.
Bloomberg was the other site I saw that made this claim. That's a paid site, so I posted the other one I found instead. They were both on the first page of Google results.
I don't blame you for questioning me, though. It's just brazenly bad journalism to tie a baseball team replacing a 25-year-old stadium to "climate change." The Braves haven't had any trouble filling up their new (and roofless) stadium.

Damn. Google "Texas Rangers Climate Change."
This country is toast.

The old place was a palace. Lots of wasted money there.

Yeahhhhh, no. That’s the owner cutting the budget.
And two difference perspectives as well.
Thread is dumb.

So is this....and spectacularly badass. Everything about ATT stadium is over the top cool.
This is what the Rangers' new place actually looks like upon arrival. It's pretty damn nice. Don't be fooled by the aerial shot. This place is sweet.

Now do what customers expect VS. what they’re willing to pay for.

How much did taxpayers have to fork over for that?

Bingo. VE to save owners money from over design by architects.

Fixed. This is all on the architect. They most definitely underestimated costs. They do it all the time because they have no concept how much something actually costs.

You don’t know how construction works.

A lot being made of the roof but the biggest difference compared to that rendering is the grass/asphalt.
Also did the elevation of the entire parking lot change or something? The rendering shows a 5+ ft. drop at the bottom of those steps.

A few well placed potted plants will spruce it up. A little.

Over design???
Ehh. I've seen bad drawing sets, but this all smells of VE.
