Major Renovations Set for Minute Maid Park (http://www.myfoxhouston.com/dpp/sports/mlb/101007-major-renovations-set-for-minute-maid-park)

"That (writing press) level which is really a prime viewing space, will become a secondary Diamond Club if you will, kind of a funky club space for young, hip Houstonians."
-
We are going to add a thousand feet of ribbon board circling the whole stadium. So lots of changes for the entertainment next year.
How about winning more games? That's entertaining too.

Gardner said the Astros are using money from their asset renewal and replacement fund, which they make yearly payments into as part of their rent.
I'm with you, though, a huge-ass scoreboard doesn't get me excited. (and the Royals have the biggest one- how's that working out for them?)
-
The scoreboard is hd, and replaces the TV screen, which is not. For a replay, they can replay it blown up on the entire huge-ass scoreboard, which is kinda cool, but otherwise the board will be divided into different screens which correspond to the areas of the current scoreboard. So during play, the screen might be divided into the rosters, the inning boxes, and the picture of the player at bat plus his stats. And the cheer cues. Don't forget the cheer cues. Between innings, the kiss cam will be monstrous, not that it's not already.

This would require them to show replays.

there you go. it'll be great. especially when they show those controversial calls that the umpire blew.

I'm excited about the ribbon board. I look forward to being assaulted by nauseating ads all game long.
What more can these fucking cocksuckers do to pervert the game experience? I'm sure there's something they're forgetting.
-
I hadn't been to DKR since the Godzillatron was installed. Gigantic screen, immense replays, super bright, constant row of ads on the right and left border, and no display of down, distance, yard line. This new scoreboard is just another goddamn ad machine for Drayton. I hope it translates to something meaningful on the field too.
-
What a bunch of crotchety old bastards you all are. If you're bothered by flashing ads everywhere you look, you're all-around fucked in 2010.
They needed a new screen. The current one is terrible. Good for them for investing in the whole package.

I am all for a screen in left field; we sat off the first base line a couple of times this year and the lack of information (avg, hrs, etc) was annoying.
-
The screen in place is terrible. They need a new one. Hopefully the one in LF doesn't block the view of downtown. Not sure what to think of this hip new area.
-

I am, too. I'm all for anything that lets an interested fan get more from the game. The ribbon boards will be little more than constant advertisements much like what you get at Reliant where the usable signage to advertising garbage ratio is abominable.
-
The screens don't bother me. The fresh hip club area behind homeplate threatens to eclipse the fowl poles in cringe inducement.
-

Maybe my sarc meter is broken? In case it’s not, they will likely not show the controversial plays. Here in DC, where they have a pretty sweet HD screen and ribbon setup, it actually works well. They don't ever show blown calls but they do replay good plays (by both teams, which is nice). When not showing replays, your other post is correct; the screen is divided up into logical sections showing batting order, player profiles as they come up, in-progress pitching stats, etc... I find that it nicely adds to the game.
Regarding the kissing cam and resolution, you are correct. At a game last year, the board showed a couple kissing and, at separation, the stringy phlegm-globber filament as they pulled apart. Nice. I don’t know how Pam will architect the ribbon boards down there but here in DC, they really only show ads maybe 20% of the time and never during game play. Only in between innings. The rest of the time, they display game data like the box score, pitch speed, player up to bat, pitch count, etc... and go berserk with lots of flashy graphics when they kick on rally music or cheers/chants. It’s well-done here in DC and I don’t mind them at all.
-
I agree with das that the visual displays and the overall experience at the Nationals Park are well done. However, MMPUS has a ridiculous train, a Fowl Pole and a Hunter's Lodge all of which Nationals Park lacks an equivalent. Its not the tools, so much, as the carpenter that one needs to worry about.

One can always ride on a local bus to get away from the ad barrage.

Yeah, I was being sarcastic about the controversial plays. The screens sound like an improvement over the existing right field scoreboard and the center field television screen. The ribbon screens, maybe not so much, but after a few of us have epileptic fits brought on by flashing lights, maybe they'll get the message. As for ad space, as I understand it, advertisements never existed in ballparks before Enron was opened in 2000, and the sponsors name on my back in little league is a figment of my imagination.

I can't remember where I heard it, or if it's even true, but I've long been under the belief the umpire union is such a cluster of thin skinned ninnies that they had it in their deal with MLB that "controversial" plays (which would highlight something they got wrong) couldn't be replayed in the stadium on the big screens.

I have nothing to base this on, but sure seems such a large investment only improves the appeal of MMP to potential buyers.
For Sale: Developing MLB Team, Plenty of high ceiling potential with limited MLB experience (i.e. cheap for the next 5 yrs), and a First Class Stadium with fanbase accustomed to $9 beer. Asking price: $600million.
-
From the article it sounded like the money was a mandatory part of the lease that was set aside for improvements, not discretionary income.

There are a few who believe that McLane will have a buyer in place by the end of the year. Unfortunately, Dickey Justice is one of them...

I rarely notice the train anymore. Not sure why it bothers anyone. I still think the train should circle the building with a homerun or win. That way people outside would have an idea of what happened.
If they are getting rid of the Citgo sign, I will be very happy. I hate that sign.

Because it has NOTHING to do with the team. I get Union Station, blah, blah, blah. I even understand that there's a train in the City of Houston crest. But there's literally no relation between trains, engineering and the Houston Astros. It might as well be a giant crawfish hovering above left field.

This could be fixed by changing the team name back to the Colt .45s and adopting a general Western theme which would encompass trains. Alternatively, you could replace the train and Junction Jack with a spacecraft of some sort and Orbit and change the uniforms to one from the pre-McLane era and paint the seats rainbow colors.

-

Because the business side knows that you and I are going to come to the ballpark no matter what stupid condiments they have racing around the field. But for the other 35k they want to draw to every game, they put on the spectacle.
And regardless of how ludicrous it is, it works. MMPUS is considered an entertainment destination in Houston. With a fairly crappy team for 2/3rds of the season, they still managed to draw sell tickets to nearly 29k a game.
Compare that to the 1992 team which drew less than 17k per contest. In the Astrodome (pre hanging gardens and fountains in the corners), in a slightly better economy.
My complaint isn't that they do it, more of why does it have to be so crappy?
-

Bullshit. The Astros need all types of fans. It's not realistic to think you can put 30k hardcore baseball fans in the seats every night. My girls can hardly watch a full inning, but love going to the games because of everything else going on around them.
Those other fans make it so the rest of us can watch a competitive team in a very nice ballpark.

10 years in, and I'm still kind of surprised that this hasn't happened yet. If you look closely, much of the more permanent logos around the park simply say "Houston Baseball" -- not even Astros. I really thought when the new park opened that we were headed for an old-west/trains name change.

None of which have anything to do with the actual game, and are thus all part of the spectacle.

You know what, I think we need to start a petition that renames the Rangers the North Texas Rangers at the very least. I'm tired of that team hijacking the Texas label. As a matter of fact, I think they should be the South Oklahoma Rangers, if you want to be accurate. All those native sooners running rampant in the Dallas area, I'm willing to concede the whole damn area to them. I mean, who wants a Sooner's sloppy seconds?

Personally, I don't care. It would be nice if the team could fill the seats every night with baseball purists who are there first and foremost to watch baseball. Personally, I like the fact that they make an effort to reach out to the non-hardcore baseball fan to make the place welcoming and fun.
If they didn't, I'd probably be going to the games by myself most of the time. Plus, more tickets sales = more money which in theory should = better baseball product on the field.
However, if it becomes the NBA with rap/pop music blaring while the teams are in their offense, I'll pass.

Mild won the second to last game.
That whole race is so offensive. Between the underlying message that Mild isn't permitted to win because everyone knows that real Messicans are Fiery! and if they're not Fiery! then they are too stupid and lazy to accomplish anything and the fact that in Houston Texas of all fucking cities we should be proud to get a damn good taco any million number of places that put taco bell to shame, I just watch on in horror hoping that the Astros actually get decent money for such a soulless debacle.

I hadn't been to DKR since the Godzillatron was installed. Gigantic screen, immense replays, super bright, constant row of ads on the right and left border, and no display of down, distance, yard line. This new scoreboard is just another goddamn ad machine for Drayton. I hope it translates to something meaningful on the field too.
A little off the subject, but has anyone watched Nancy Grace lately? Besides HH, I mean?
Me, neither. But I come across her show from time to time while surfing up and down the channel lineup trying to find something else as flat out entertaining as Ancient Aliens to watch. Nancy's lopsided head keeps getting smaller and smaller on the screen, harder and harder to see. Not a bad thing, but damn. There must be six or seven rows of banners and streaming information starting at the bottom, there is often a split screen with four or five 'experts' commenting passionately on some 'case' I never heard of, but it involves some guy killing his newlywed wife and sending her to the local landfill, or a missing child whose mother is a demon/scatter-brained bimbo/trailer park slut and, oh yeah, has an affinity for crystal meth.
But, goddamn, I cannot stand Nancy Grace, but I think it is sad HLN seems intent on shrinking her head down to nothing. And the typical screen shot of her show now has so much crap going on in it, it is what I am guessing the inside of an manic-depressive person's brain must look like. Come to think of it, the Astros should project Nancy's show on their new HD screen between innings at games. Then we'll really see how much everyone likes the high-resolution and giant size.
