    I’m not an HVAC expert or anything, but that design seems, uh, sub-optimal for a place that is 120 degrees.

    There’s some old-school approaches to that stadium. No bullpens, so the starters are going to have to go 9.

    Unfunded vaportecture. And to think, Utah just passed $2 billion for MLB/NHL and don't even have any teams!

    It was a purposeful boondoggle after 9/11 and no one denied it, if you read to the end. I commuted through there for several years and it's a grand space. There's a preserved subway entrance there with glass doors from pre-9/11, with the search and rescue markings on it, a reminder that it's also a burial ground.

    Some people really dove into the details.

    Don't worry, it's a dry heat.

    Looks like a fancy air fryer, which it will be in July and August

    A's have split-squad games vs. Brewers tonight and tomorrow afternoon in Vegas. Betting (unintentional, I swear!) most of the projected starters will be there.

    How many "renderings" is this for the stadium to be named later?
