Vancouver isn't famous in Africa or maybe even South America yet so there's room to grow

~50% of capacity is pretty good for Mass these days

I was surprised by the low turnout.

Looking forward to it. Glad to see renos instead of a full on replacement.

outfield renos are phase 1

Hawrylyshyn · #**6290** Posted **Jul 28, 2022, 5:54 PM**

Doesn't look like a big difference to me?

Denscity · #**6291** Posted **Jul 28, 2022, 6:04 PM**

Ya I couldn't tell what was new.

JHikka · #**6292** Posted **Jul 28, 2022, 6:05 PM**

The new video board has already been installed and replaces a lot of what used to be the outfield restaurant.

You can see in the renders that the proposal is to tear out general seating and replace it with outfield standing/party zones, and other gameday activation zones. Something like the WestJet party deck, or whatever it's called, is part of that transition.

If you've got poor eyesight maybe

changes are spectacular bringing fans closer to the field and offering more party deck type experiences.

suburbanite · #**6295** Posted **Jul 28, 2022, 6:19 PM**

You posted a picture from 5+ years ago that doesn't even have the flight deck.

Great changes. The biggest improvement which is hard to see given all the pictures are facing the outfield is the change to the 100's level baseline seats. Carving out that section and rotating the seating so that you're actually facing home plate when you drop $60-$100 on a seat is nice improvement

More social/standing areas in the outfield and much lower 100 level seats in the outfield are also nice changes.

We've been looking at the structure for it... the whole lower bowl is coming out and getting rebuilt in place.

WhipperSnapper · #**6298** Posted **Jul 28, 2022, 6:46 PM**

I find it a little cheesy when designers create irregular field dimensions for the sake of irregular field dimension. Otherwise, it looks pretty good upgrade to trendy fan decks.

Maldive · #**6299** Posted **Jul 28, 2022, 7:31 PM**

Phase 1: Bullpens moved to the corner and Centre Field seats brought down to wall height. The bullpens are also elevated (inevitable fan interaction ;-). All new seating for the 500 levels and lots more standing room and bar/food areas.

J.OT13 · #**6300** Posted **Jul 28, 2022, 7:37 PM**

Took me a while, but with coaching from a few of you, I can see the changes now. Some good improvements, but I guess I was expecting more? Any plans to redo the exterior? Something along the lines of Molson/Bell Centre or Air Canada/Scotiabank?
