if true, about time.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

That'd be awesome.

 

[Dback Jon]

It would be about flipping time

Only took 13 years.....I hope Selig's skin doesn't completely melt off in the 115 degree heat in the middle of summer

 

[devilalum]

Now everybody on earth can bitch about the unbearable July Phoenix heat. This is like having a Super Bowl in Alaska.

 

[abomb]

I might have to buy a ticket just to track down Selig and spit in his face.

yep. This will be a disaster.

 

[Dback Jon]

yep. This will be a disaster.

How so?

 

[Mulli]

How so?

See the post I quoted. Too hot.

 

[Renz]

Like it's so cool in Atlanta and Houston that time of year.

that is a good point, but I wouldn't go there in july either. I wonder if the craptastic area around downriotown phx is a factor.

 

[Hazzard29]

We play in dome people! Yes its quite warm in the summer... just buy more beer and it will cool you off.

 

[Dback Jon]

See the post I quoted. Too hot.

And so?

Game is indoors. Hotels are indoors. Convention Center is indoors.

I'd rather be in Phx in the summer than ATL or HOU or MIA.

Heck, it is nicer in Phoenix in the summer than any place in the Midwest or South.

Sure, fine. It is a matter of opinion I guess. I just now I only need air conditioning for two weeks tops in Chicago. Humidity does make concrete 190 degrees. And they don't need a dome on wrigley.

Wrigley is a **** hole whether there is a dome on it or not.

A dome might actually improve the place.

I agree about wrigley as a stadium. But a person can easily sit in relative comfort and watch a game with healthy grass for the majority of the summer. Same for the Cell which I think is an underrated venue.

Again matter of opinion, but I would take Chicago's summers. They are so nice I can stand the subzero temps. And I canjust drive up to Wisconsin when it is hot.

Do you dodge gunshots at Cellular Field?

Great neighborhood for before game and after game entertainment with scenic views of the old Cabrini Green site. Fantastic. Chicago in July can require multiple showers from profuse sweating and humidity. No thanks.
