As a point of reference, Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay has a catwalk above 2nd base that is approx. 190 ft high and while it has only been hit a few times in regular play, it has been an issue.

I suppose it depends on where homeplate would be, but 140 ft is awfully low for baseball to work...

I think they've given up on Major League baseball for Vancouver. Besides, the days of putting baseball in a multi purpose stadium are over, and there was no sense limiting the amenities for the existing tenants in the hopes of accomodating a baseball team "someday". Ever since Safeco was built in Seattle and the Expos moved to DC there's been no chance of regular season games being played in Vancouver. I'm sure for the odd spring training game they can put up with a few scoreboard balls, seeing as they barely keep score.

They are testing some of the interior stadium lights: http://www.bcplacestadium.com/index.php/construction.html#webcam

Stadium is looking awesome. The videoboard looks HUGE. It's going to be a very good atmosphere in BC Place. Hoping that the teams making their home there (Lions and 'Caps), do better than they have recently.

Can someone post pictures of the scoreboard?

peterprinciple · #**3809** Posted **Aug 25, 2011, 4:00 PM**

Just for kicks...click on Interior Webcam and using controls go back one year to August 25, 2010.

Nice work nobase2010. I especially enjoyed the one from Coopers Park.

If you go to the interior construction cam and look at the extreme bottom of the image you will see the new playing field being layed. (it's green)

The new GIANT screens will be great for concert goers. Nuff said.

Also noticed on the webcam that the ivy is starting to grow back up the west wall of the stadium.

Damn that ivy. I need some clippings from that healthy growth. They should sell some clippings.

We've all looked at it, but I'm interested to hear what the new acoustics will be like

Im using Sony HX1 camera. More pics

canucks23 · #**3819** Posted **Aug 28, 2011, 7:21 PM**

^ Awesome pictures. You should just go around the entire city taking pictures with your amazing camera.

go_leafs_go02 · #**3820** Posted **Aug 28, 2011, 7:34 PM**

From that first picture, it looks done to me.

From the interior webcam, I still have a hard time believing it'll be ready in a month, even though progress is flying along so far.
