    I was largely responsible for this design, circa 1983.

    I have looked at my calendar, and have some margin for this project. You know, if I'm needed.

    My favorite ballpark that I've never seen.

    I agree with you. This was the idea. We had an estimate, a location, but...you don't always get what you want.
    I love PNC Park. It’s almost perfect. But you can’t convince me it wouldn’t be cooler with one of these.

    That moment where the vomitory opens up to the field as you pass through is actually one of the greatest moments in spectator sports.

    open concourses are great, but I miss the feeling of walking through those 'tunnels' and seeing the field/stadium explode in front of me. I have so many great memories from Shea just like that picture.

    Not the inverted hip roof. But I was the one who let the metal roof be a metal roof instead of fake shingles. And got rid of the trapezoid windows, which I now sort of regret.

    In case you were wondering where the masonry pattern on PNC Park came from... East Liberty, Pittsburgh
