Edgy buys a field

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/video/2006/03/14/VI2006031401066.html The proposed design for the new DC ballpark came out yesterday (video above). I like it--it's not red brick retro, more in keeping with some of the architecture of DC. To me, it looks a lot like the Thurgood Marshall Judiciary building, which is just to your left if you walk out the front of Union Station.

Glass, steeel and poured concrete. How DC.

I'm glad they're not going retro. The building looks nice enough from the outside; a little plain on the inside.

If Edgy builds it, they will come. From architectural drawings I've seen, here's my prediction (depending on how close to actual those drawings are): High batting averages, because of the very small foul territory - the anti-Oakland. Power hitters will have to pull the ball to get homers - that centerfield fence looks like its in Maryland. Later

The music is pretty cheesy.

I like the location. Getting to and from RFK last summer was unduly difficult (could the signage have been any worse? Sheesh....) When are they estimating that the new stadium will be open for business?

The music promises an attack by Norman Bates. I say it's fugly.
