What if stadium

Any fly ball that hits those two, or any lights, suspended objects or angled support rods from them in fair territory is considered a home run. Then, there are the upper catwalks: A-Ring and B-Ring. If a fly ball hits either of those rings in fair territory, it is fair game to be caught or land for a base hit. Though it might deflect off the rings, it can be recorded for an out, unlike batted balls that bounce off walls in other ball parks.

There's still more to know about the catwalk rules. If a batted ball in fair territory is not judged to be a home run, but does not return to the field of play and is stuck on the catwalk, light or suspended object, it is considered a ground-rule double.

However, if the ball hits anything in foul territory, it is ruled a foul ball and a dead ball. The foul lines and center field distances are not particularly different at Tropicana Field than at any other ballpark. According to Baseball Pilgrimages, the outfield is feet to left field, feet to center field and feet to right. But those catwalks add in an extra dimension for which to account.

Below are the heights of the rings above the field. At just 59 feet above center and feet above home, the D-ring is not far above the field of play. However, given how wide the ring goes around the field, it is unlikely to be struck unless the ball is already headed out of the field of play. Alcohol will be available for collegiate games only.

Parking Map. A: Tickets are available for purchase online at TexasRangers. According to news reports at the time, Fumo gave other reasons: The potential for traffic and parking problems in the area, and community opposition. The location — at 31st and Walnut streets in University City just south of the main Post Office and adjacent to the Schuylkill — not only offered cinematic views, but also sat next door to 30th Street Station and subway lines.

The Phillies executive, who requested anonymity because he was discussing confidential real estate negotiations, said the West Philadelphia site was favored by developer Dan Keating. It had a lot of promise, but also a lot of drawbacks, such as congestion and parking issues, the official said. Jastrzab said he wasn't sure what specifically killed that proposal, but he recalls a lot of pushback from surrounding communities and from the University of Pennsylvania, which "had another use in mind," he said.

It would eventually become home to Penn Park, including two athletic fields and a multi-purpose stadium. The 13th and Vine streets pitch was a last-ditch effort by the new mayor, John Street, to salvage a Center City ballpark location. But he ran into a tremendous amount of opposition. Those projects included construction of the Vine Street Expressway, the Convention Center, and even Independence Mall, which limited the neighborhood to the east side. I think it could have been really spectacular," Jastrzab said.

But in practical and engineering terms, he said, the site was fairly constrained. There were also the typical concerns about traffic, parking, the effect on businesses and access to public transit. The architect Mike Rosen said flatly: "It just didn't work there. You couldn't get to it. The Phillies executive said the mayor's proposal was "well intentioned," but was cost-prohibitive with all of the work that had to be done.

His designs, while they were not commissioned by the Phillies and were developed after the Sports Complex site was chosen, do offer an idea of how a stadium would have fit on the waterfront. Fellow Ambit architect and partner Jason Birl said the stadium would have done what many current projects along the waterfront are still hoping to accomplish: "Activate the river.

A fifth option was not opposed by any local civic groups, but actually championed by them: the old Schmidt brewery on Girard Avenue in Northern Liberties, which eventually became The Piazza at Schmidt's. The civic group, comprising of local business people and residents, even came up with a catchy name for the new stadium: Liberty Yards.
