Eighteen-year-old
Tropicana Field might not have the stylish charm of Camden Yards
and other stadiums built a few years after it, but it has one
quirk no baseball park can match. The catwalks. Or
"infamous catwalks," as they are commonly called (when
not preceded by an unprintable adjective). The four circular
metal structures that ring the 6-acre Teflon-coated fiberglass
roof could come into play when the Tampa Bay Rays and
Philadelphia Phillies meet in Wednesday night's Game 1 of the
World Series.
Once
you walk inside the new Yankee Stadium, trust me, you're going
to be immediately struck by this dominating thought: This sure
looks an awful lot like the old place. Wasn't that the whole
point? To take everything that's memorable about Yankee Stadium
and re-create it in a new-and-improved stadium with all the
bells and whistles of today's luxurious ballparks? Undoubtedly
the Yankees, New York City and their hordes of contractors and
carpenters are on their way to doing just that, as I evidenced
Thursday during a half-hour visit to the new park.
