I’ve heard several times that grass will not grow well in the stadium for whatever reason. The Diamonds stay.

Love the South EZ addition. Nicely done. Some great areas for the fans in there as well, including now being able to surround the players as they enter the field.

I don't see the appeal unless my kid really wanted to do it and asked repeatedly.

Not a jersey wearer, but many are, so maybe others see this opportunity differently.

I'd think a primary motivation in turning this otherwise dead space into revenue space was the ability to add another alcohol serving area in the stadium -- which now isn't such an exclusive privilege.

You can't really watch the game from that spot, and now you'll be able to get alcohol anywhere in the stadium.

I'm sure 'bunker club' status will drive ticket sales initially but I wonder how long it'll be worth it to people. I could be optimistic about it. It could be a thing. But I mostly think it's dumb.

They had some major turf expert from aTm come in and spend millions to grow turf in the 90's. Didn't work. Has something to do with the stadium being essentially in a giant hole in the ground
