Sure Glad The Yankees Moved Across The Street

If only there were some way to modernize your ballpark, say by adding seats above a green monster or by building something new around the previous framework.  It’s too bad there isn’t such technology which is why the Yankees moved to Oklahoma City back in 1973.

If only there were a way to do this.   In such a world, ESPN.com would be able to write things like this below in the far distant future of 2009:

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Standing in mud and dust, often straining to be heard above the rat-a-tat-tat of concrete drills, Kansas City Royals officials said Wednesday they’re confident that Kauffman Stadium will be ready for opening day.

Whenever the massive $250 million renovation project does get finished, fans will hardly recognize the place.

Wraparound seating, extensive changes in the outfield and upper deck, wider concourses and added amenities are going to lend a nearly brand-new look and feel to the park the Royals have called home since 1973.
