Cause if they move the fences in Curtis Granderson will hit 5 extra home runs. That's part of their logic.

I'm not doubting that. I'm wondering why they didn't establish they wanted a hitter's park then and there, back when.

I surely hope the Giants never take away any part of triple's alley. Bonds was hitting in a pitcher's park during his HR record chase, and if they moved them in to help him out that would have been... what was my word? I think it was 'ridiculous.'

Regardless, whatever they do is always nice to see reflected in The Show. Also hoping they get BP Village in there this upcoming season.

BP Village should be in this year. The Rays renovations as well.

If SCEA's past is any indication they'll at a minimum get the dimensions right. I wouldn't be surprised if the stadium doesn't look quite right behind the walls as a lot of that construction work isn't completed until close to Opening Day.

When the Padres moved the fences in at PETCO The Show had the proper dimensions for the field but things like the Jack Deck over the right field wall didn't make an appearance until the following year. It's the nature of how real world construction and game development timelines work.

I second this, I'd hate for the HR record to be viewed as tainted.

I think you're right.

But then again SCEA has messed up the Mets jerseys two straight years so I won't hold my breath.
