Wow so far this week has been very busy as far as ballparks go. As you have probably seen on the homepage, the Nationals and the DC Sports Commission released plans for their new ballpark. Interesting design as they seem to have went with a glassy futuristic look. Most would have probably figured they would have went with a Camden Yards type look. The ballpark looks the most like Petco Park. You can see the latest renderings on the Washington Ballpark page in the future section of the website. As more renderings become available, we will post them. You can check out a virtual tour of the ballpark at: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/video/2006/03/14/VI2006031401066.html
The local media out of Detroit is now reporting that Tiger Stadium may be near the end of its life. It will be a sad day if this ballpark is demolished. Hopefully some group or someone will step in to help save this stadium because the city defiantly does not care about Tiger Stadium.
In other news, grass is being laid at the new Busch Stadium today. The entire field should be down by the end of the week. You can check out the latest video and pictures today from KMOV at:
