what descrepencies burton? you dug out a news story that is TWO YEARS OLD saying bud selig says the rays need new digs? wow, so, when i dig up a news story that says selig backs the royals staying in a renovated kauffman ( which, he has ) will you finally shut up on kauffman, or will you keep beating the shit out of a dead horse??
wow, i am a year off on both, 16, 15, WHO THE FUCK CARES BEYOND YOU WHICH STADIUM IS A YEAR OLDER THEN WHAT I SAID?? I AM A YEAR OFF, GET A LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
god dude, give it up. 17, or 16, 15, who friecking cares??? you!!! either way, you have yet to back up that ridiculous ass garbage you said about the blue jays wanting a new stadium. not one shred of anything to back it up. nothing. you found an article on the devil rays, or rays, or whatever their name du jour is, either way, i asked you to put up something saying the team, and the city, had said it. you have still failed to do that.

Say what you want about Skydome, but it's just another concrete cookie-cutter that is continually drawing in the bottom third of the league.
continually? please. they were drawing over 2m until 2000, when, they had ownership issues, and on field talent issues. last year, they solved that problem, with a new owner, who, bought rogers centre, and invested 40m in it, and over the offseason, were the biggest spenders in mlb. and oh yeah, 13 years ago, were drawing 4m a season. a concrete cookie cutter? dude, have you been there? i have. it is still somewhat impressive, mlb's FIRST rolling roof, kick ass view of the cn tower above left center. yeah, sure. last year, back to 2m, and, still, in the bottom 3rd, however, their season ticket sales and advance sales will push this year over 2.7m. so, yeah, sure, they will be looking.

yeah, nothing is final for yankee stadium. sure. read that. done. ground gets broken this year. guess they are waiting for you to graduate and provide them with the sketches you made in a matchbook. discrepencies. sure, you are showing your ass. people on here are going to tar and feather me for sure for stating a 16 year old stadium was 15, oh wait, it is NOT REALLY EITHER AMOUNT OF YEARS OLD, 17, UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF THE SEASON, SINCE IT DID NOT OPEN UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF THE SEASON. I SHOULD KNOW, I WENT TO SKY DOME IN 1989, WHEN YOU WERE STILL IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
either way, they are not looking for a new stadium, and if you think in 10 years, when that park is 27 years old ( add it up right quick, go behind me and double check my math there mr. soon to be designing stadiums all over the world ) then you are crazy. new ballparks are being designed to last longer then their predecessors. easily.
and bottom line, the county votes on this on april 4th, and there is nothing you can do to stop the fact that if it fails, the county and the royals have already made it clear they will pursue renovations AGAIN.
yeah, since an atlanta resident already came on here and disputed you on that one. or did you forget? that is some dumbass table that shows how much an average household spends on transportation. certainly could not be driven by the fact that more of them use the TRAIN there, it costs more to park there, and it is a city where a lot of downtown residents pay to park AT WORK AND AT HOME. not surface lots EVERYWHERE in atlanta. dude, you really know nothing about atlanta. i have been down there, and seen the marta packed, and seen beyond the georgia dome and turner field, very few surface lots, however, TONS of lots that are garages that cost an arm and a friecking leg. but, i guess BVC, who lives there, telling the truth on the matter, versus you, who, HAS NEVER LIVED THERE, makes you think a table that says they spend the most on transportation, means something. bravo. you provided a table and forgot the obvius, atlanta is a town where a lot of residents take their car TO THE TRAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then pay to ride the train after they park!

Atlanta is very car dependent but comparing KC to Atlanta on car dependency isn't all that relative until KC gets a rail line so that we can measure by percentage the usage of the two cities. My opinion is KC is more car infatuated as of right now b/c of the resistence to rail.
there is the quote from someone who lives there. but, you keep on believing some table you do not know how to read.
THIS THREAD IS HIJACKED ENOUGH BY YOUR SILLY PATHETIC ATTEMPTS TO DISCUSS ATLANTA DRIVING, SKYDOME, AND THE NEW YANKEE STADIUM. BACK TO THE TRUMAN SPORTS COMPLEX, OR SHOULD WE SAY, THE SOON TO BE RENOVATED TRUMAN SPORTS COMPLEX
