Have you ever been to Yankee Stadium? That place had as much charm as a WalMart. Other than simply knowing the history that had gone on there, it was plastered with as many ads and billboards to help bleed out every last cent from any channel possible.

Don't forget that all of these "neo-classical" HOK ballparks are replacing multi-purpose stadiums that were amongst the worst sports architecture ever seen. I think MLB has more unique parks now then at any time in its history
