It's unforunate but more times than not, when faced with this dilemma, team owners
and presidents choose a very bad course... the dreaded retro-park. An attempt
is made to recreate the history of the older park by building a modern day clone.
These ballparks tend to be campy at best, and downright ugly at worst, meanwhile
never coming close to capturing the feel of the old ballpark. (and leaving
one to wonder why they didn't just stay where they were if that's the route they
were going to go). |
