this photo was featured on the j skis x ns ski graphic contest that gavin rudy won. still think this is the sickest graphic j skis has ever made. they were only in 178s and i think 86 underfoot so i looked like i was snowblading out there on them lol.
-eREKTion-If it were downtown it would be 100x less accessible. Staples (or whatever it’s called now) is a fucking nightmare. Having been to both Oracle and Petco, they’re definitely nice with more amenities than Dodger Stadium BUT they have this phony veneer of baseball Americana. Most new stadiums are the same; some exposed brick, some new built old-timey steel beams (always exposed and always green?), weird dimensions, and low capacity.
Dodger Stadium is a 60 year old LA institution that sells out all 60,000 seats why would we trade that for a 35,000 seat faux old-timey pile of bricks somewhere downtown? And I stand by the fact that Dodger Stadium is beautiful, hard to beat a summer evening game where the sun sets in the third and the skyline lights up behind you.
I mean it is historic but like going to a dodgers game is just so different than going to other teams games. For example for the Denver teams I just take the bus to downtown and pregame at the bars and walk like 5 minutes to every single stadium (Mile High is a little longer its like a 20 min walk), then after just walk back to the bus and not have to worry about DDing and parking and all that shit. I guess its not super different but I think the fact that Dodger Stadium is so close to downtown yet such a bitch to get to kinda soured my one time going there and made it harder to appreciate. It used to be quicker for me to take the train from CT to Yankee Stadium than it was for me to drive from inside of LA to Dodger Stadium in LA and park the car and ever since then I just have not fucked with it but @SlushSeason is kinda right thats more of an LA transit problem than the actual stadiums problem.
Long ass response but basically I weigh ease of access pretty heavily in regards to how sick I think a stadium is, maybe too high, but I don't necessarily disagree with what you're saying I just think we have different criteria for what makes a stadium "good".

kinda valid but also maybe not because jaypeak is annoying to get to and is hella worth it you know.
but also you mentioned earlier that you don't like Yankee stadium.. why? I think it's sick, and the fact that it's called "Yankee Stadium" and not Grammarly Stadium or Pit Viper Stadium or some dumb brand is valid as flunk. i'm assuming it's in opposition to it's reconstruction.. if u don't like the OG then idk what to say.

Well I wasn't opposed to reconstruction and I was happy they stayed in the Bronx, but they committed to rebuilding a stadium and i know land in NYC is expensive but they spent 2.3 billion in 2009 and for that budget it's extremely underwhelming. The limestone on the exterior is fuckin dope but once you walk in it's extremely mid. Like it's literally just a flashy exterior, compared to the other good ballparks I've been to i just don't feel like I'm in a multi billion dollar stadium...
cool270outIf that’s osb I’d try to cost that hard. Osb shouldnt contact moisture
meh it’s a $20 sheet with plenty of structure underneath. might not look pretty at the end of the season but i can just replace if it cracks or warps too bad

ok that's fair. the one time I went I remember it being hella ugly inside, just mostly concrete. I haven't been to any other to compare.
partyandBSwhy does nascar/track racing only go left?? seems like they could do half the races the otherway lol
Along with the horse racing tradition, its also bad to have cars sliding into the wall on the drivers side. Better to have passenger side make first contact for safety

Valid criticism, accessibility is a problem that stems from our last owners who fucking sucked. Frank McCourt, the previous owner, made his money in parking lots of all things. When he was forced to sell during his divorce, he retained ownership of the stadium parking lots. The team pays him $14 million a year for the parking lots. It may surprise some of you to learn this but LA is fabulously corrupt and Frank McCourt has stopped development around the stadium to protect his parking lots.
Completely off topic but I’ve hopefully convinced you to hate Frank McCourt as much as the rest of LA does.
GayWolf420Uhh birthdays alone are weird but here's to 29 I guess
MichiganCatFartHappy b day deebieskieebie
Wait holy shit, you're Theron? Honestly I've been so surprised since I came back to NS that I wasn't seeing your username/icon anymore. Glad you're still around buddy, been a long time since our singular awkward chairlift ride at PC like 14 years ago lol. Sometimes I miss the NSchat days

sometimes i think NS needs a previous username feature like steam. hard to keep track of y’all
I gotta say birthdays sometimes lose their magic the older you get but it's still nice to hear from old friends and family. Very mellow tho and didn't wake up hungover.
