It's a good start. Are we going to limit this to just current stadiums, or will it eventually include former stadiums as well? - jredmond 01:57, 9 May 2004 (UTC)
- I like the idea. When I have some time, I can create a second chart on this page listing former parks. Kingturtle 04:11, 9 May 2004 (UTC)
A question: what is the source for all the cost numbers and % publicly financed? I've looked around and found different numbers for some of these. This page has a chart of estimated stadium costs and it claims that Busch Stadium cost $24 mil to build, of which $19 mil was taxpayer funded. If it were 0% publicly funded, as this page says, then it would contradict the notion that Pac Bell Park in 2000 was "the first privately funded baseball stadium since Dodger Stadium was built in Los Angeles in 1962" [1] (as would the "5%" listed next to SBC Park).
- The source I used was http://law.marquette.edu/s3/site/images/sports/mlbfac42.pdf . Kingturtle 09:33, 9 May 2004 (UTC)
Just another note: it would be interesting to list the top ten newest ballparks in each league as well (unless there would be too much overlap with the oldest to make it interesting). --Minesweeper 07:09, May 9, 2004 (UTC)
- There would be overlap. but I have a simple solution :) Kingturtle 09:33, 9 May 2004 (UTC)
Changed the year of construction of Angel Stadium to 1966. Are we going to use the date when it first was constructed on when it was remodeled? 67.123.225.216 00:58, 15 May 2004 (UTC)
- List when it was first constructed. In parenthesis, you can list the last time it was remodeled. Kingturtle 01:17, 15 May 2004 (UTC)
If it could be fit in somewhere, I think that each stadium should also have its current baseball capacity listed.
[edit] Future ballparks
In reference to the recent revert about the yet-to-be-built Mets stadium, there are also new ones coming in D.C., Minnesota and for the Yankees, at least. The obvious solution is to create another section on future arenas. Someone who actually knows how to do that could feel free to jump in here and do that. It should be limited to stadium plans that are concrete (ha!) and not just pie-in-the-sky. Wahkeenah 12:38, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- I did it. I included proposals, as the list is fairly short in any case. Wahkeenah 13:06, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
