I'm courious as you go down 1st and third base lines will the seats angle in toward home plate or just look straight out to the field? What about leg room will it be the typical no leg room? And should I be looking at buying addtional land near the stadium for the expansion of a dome because they will want one with games postponed because of snow,cold rain. What about advanced ticket sales, when this goes down watch them holler. The new stadium looks goods.

Just like the rest of the country. Unfortunately, I'm the one holding the bag on the housing situation here in Cali.

There is NOTHING to do there besides go to Dirty Fort Myers beach. I lived in Fort Myers/Cape Coral for 10 years and was more then ready to move out of that area and out of Florida period. People think FLA is so great but it's not unless you have Millions of dollars. The ONLY thing i miss about that area was Spring Training and that only lasts a month. Not to mention Forclosures in that area are VERY bad. We got out at the best time cause it's all gone downhill since 2005 Jimmy Bee, Fort Myers is awful.

Safeco is my favorite with Camden Yards 2nd. Alwats nice to head down by the water in Baltimore and then head over to the stadium. Wish i liked crabs.

In San Fran there is no roof, and it is about 45 degrees for every night game as the breeze blows in off the Bay. You think it's nice weather, then you turn the corner onto the Embarcadero, and Bam! The wind hits you. No roof there!! Yes, the weather in California is much better than MN most of the time, but how would you like to have to pay for good weather? That's why you live in MN, to enjoy the seasons. A few rainouts is nothing. And does everybody not remember the constant bitching of people for the cost of the new stadium? Now you suddently think another $150 million is no big deal? Stop complaining about no roof on the new stadium.
