BC Baseball Stadium

[bignick33]

BC should build their baseball stadium like Union City, Nj built their football stadium. It's actually an ingenious use of space in an overpopulated city to have the field on top of the high school.







We could even build the retractable dome on top of the baseball stadium or vice versa, to appease 74.

I mean that is the layout style.

A re-tractable dome hinged on one end so it can be opened for the outfield and cover the entire field like a rectangle with a huge diamond at one end.

Just think if the Red Sox and BC hooked up with the St. John's land and trolley stop?

The Red Sox being renters.

Go look at BC's baseball schedule. first 20 games on the road?

One reason why we did not hit the top 40 poll.

Facts and Figures you did not know:

• No one would stand and cheer when I asked for a B to spell out Boston College, 11:30 PM.

• 12:15 AM, My daughter snared $20 from my wallet and after BC, the home team, had a runner on third with less than 2 outs for the 4th time and failed to score or even make any kind of blub contact, she said,

"Dad, BC sucks!", and went and bought a white Longhorn's hat and humiliated her father and I was laughed at by at least 100 fans!"

• They closed the consession stands at 10 PM and reopened them at midnight and still had nothing left to sell? WTF?

• My wife started busting my balls at the 11th inning.--- (one more inning and this is over honey, tops!) ---It lasted until....yup, until last week..she zinged me ."Even your hockey team could make contact to score one fucking run, what a bunch of losers!"

• Walking out, "Hey BC idiot, is this the reason you don't wanna come down and play us in football every year?" They gave me a GDFaxial, not knowing how much I despise the greaseball, and how close they came to death if I had a gun!"

My underwear elastic left marks on my ass for 2 weeks, or just like OJ and Salzano get their 74 butts signed after they bend over for anyone!

Enjoy!

I think Northeastern considered doing this a number of years ago when they expanded their campus with some new buildings. I remember seeing an article in the local papers about it back then. That was like 25 years ago.

I believe this belongs on the baseball board since it looks like they could repaint the field for baseball.
