No Grass Left

These images come from WCBS 880's Tom Kaminski
who took them earlier today while in Chopper 880.

I really don't like looking at those pictures.

In the plan there was an indication of an infield grandstand. I hope they keep a portion of the original lower deck for that. but I doubt they will. they probably won't even put the new diamond in the same place that the original is.

could there be more obtuse planners than HOK and the city govt?; March 23, 2009 at 1:30 PM
