Besides a “beer district”, what are some things you would want to see added or updated at AmFam Field? As noted above I do wish it had a slightly more open air feel but its pretty hard to do that with a fan style roof. I wouldnt hate ripping out Bernies Terrace seats and that X Golf area to open up left field and have clear panels. The outfield visually is so busy with ads, scoreboard, etc. Doubt that happens. From an amenity standpoint overall I dont have many complaints. I like the brewery addition, the shops are good, food/drinks satisfy me, sightlines in first few decks are solid outside blind spots in corners in many seats. I have not been in the Terrace level in years but those can be pretty steep. The kids area is good and free. Curious how different the stadium will be, if at all, post this money being spent on it.
For the beer district all that was approved was a 2 year "study" so that's way down the road if it ever happens.
New seats, scoreboard upgrade, concourse has to be redone. Roof repair. HVAC has to be redone. Supposedly they will "winterize" so events can be held year round. That's dumb IMO, very few big name concerts tour in the winter anyway. And besides concerts there is little use for the ballpark in the winter. Right now it can be heated to about 30 degrees above outside temps and that works fine for early season games.
I don't think there's going to be much done that fans will actually see.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.
