I hear Bane speaking to the crowd…

What the fuck even is this?

Rain rain 🌧.

Nope, just Reds at Braves before a NASCAR Numbnutz show.

#MLB is watching the #SavannahBananas play in college football stadiums & break attendance records...and I think, whether they acknowledge it or not, it bothers them that the 🍌 new 4 team league is crushing it attendance wise. 🤷‍♀️ #Jealous

Who'da thunk that making baseball games be fun would attract more fans???

A time of gruesome American excess. Why do stuff just for the spectacle? Why Wizard Of Oz at the Sphere? Why a $200 million ballroom?

they are trying something-- MLB would LOVE to have the attendance numbers the bananas have.. (Twins fan)

This game is gonna be completely forgotten until one day someone writes a book about early 21st century baseball and it gets a one sentence mention in a paragraph about Rob Manfred's stupidly random marketing initiatives.

Hey - let SMI and the folks in Bristol take their victory lap for this too.

Did you know that baseball and NASCAR have a lot more in common than you might think???

Both have two “A”s, for example. Which is more than you can say for Oakland. (Which also has two “a”s, but nevermind.)

This rain delay is :: chef's kiss :: for Fox to waddle through with their cast of characters.

This will be like the turn forward the clock thing

Compared the the rendering it looks like absolute shit lmao

I’m going to love Jon Bois’ documentary about this game

What’s going to happen if (when?) it’s rained out? Can they play there tomorrow or is that not an option? Pissing off that many drunk people at a racecar place is not going to end well

I dunno the folks on Intentional Talk wore cowboy hats for some reason and loved the idea

There is standing water on the infield.

Literally standing water on the infield, but the Fox announcers just said, "it looks worse on TV than it does here."

78,000 terrible seats. It's like watching a football game at the LA Coliseum before they made some reconfigurations... which was also terrible for baseball when the Dodgers played there.

I'm fascinated that so many people paid to sit that far away from the field, like what the hell can you see way up there?

There’s some spectacle in it that’s worth like $20 but no more than that.

They haven't stopped doing outdoor hockey games

I loved going to see the Islanders at MetLife (score notwithstanding)...

I’d watch a New Year’s Day baseball game in wool unis and it’s like 10 degrees out though.

Are they playing human chess on that board next to the field after the game?

Why didn't they put most of the passably decent grandstand behind the infield?

This is where all the coastal team will play when the seas rise.

17776 looking ass baseball game

Somehow, I thought Baseketball would be more fun than this.

You can't fool me, that's the 1987 Orange Bowl.

Ooof, for a second there I thought we’d already progressed to the public political executions.

Looks like

To be fair, that was based on Bristol

Someday, it will be

They need cars running the track during the game to complete the aesthetic.

If you hit a car with a HR you get credit for the extra distance the car travels.

And in typical race fashion. Endless rain delay

Sad part is the NHL is there is observe. They are looking into having an outdoor game there. Good luck with that.

Last of us

It looks like two sports merging to build viewership

That or Idiocracy

So it makes sense in this timeline!

It looks like when they turned the Seahawks stadium into a paramilitary base in The Last of Us 2

With no kidding, what the fuck is that shit?

Thought the hockey thing in stadiums was ridiculous, but then this comes along. So stupid.

once they learned they couldn’t have cars whipping around the track at 200mph midgame they should’ve just called off the whole thing

Needless to say, spinning brodies on the field after the rainout was called would have been deemed appropriate at a NASCAR event. What a dumbass idea. What's next UFC?

.. and out comes the tarp.

They should run a race and a baseball game at the same time. Hitting a car is a critical hit: double the runs if it's fair; out if it's foul.

Manifesting this only so I can see Kyle Busch get doinked in the head by a foul ball while driving

That pic makes me wish they built two ballparks in the infield with both games at the same time.

Should’ve gone full Polo Grounds. 660’ to dead center

My father was a NY Giants fan. He loved the Polo Grounds and watching Willie Mays catching balls no one thought he would ever catch (1954 World Series in particular).

it's part of Dystopian non-fiction, 2025 USA

I went last night. I actually think it was a cool idea and I would’ve enjoyed watching the whole game. The rain wasn’t their fault, but BMS being uprepared for the crowd was bad. By the way, I love the Savannah Bananas and have seen them several times, but I still enjoy a real MLB game much better.

Looks like the bowels of hell.

I hear professional baseball players love stupid, pointless disruptions to their routines.

Ugh! What an eyesore.

Nascar is tanking so they have to try anything

It gets worse. 'Pro' wrestling, is the most watched tv programming on the planet. Popcorn?

I love baseball, and I literally had no idea what this was a picture of. I had to google "Cincinnati Reds" just to figure out what I was looking at.

Dude… they have enough room for two fields. They could play two games at the same time. Actually, I’d dig that as a one-off gimmick event.

[interior, Commissioner’s Office] Commissioner: we gotta make up TWO rainouts or we can’t set the playoffs schedule! Assistant: AND the home ballpark has a conflict! Kid taking lunch orders: I’ve got an idea….

Split squad isn't just for spring training anymore!

Set it as a double-header where opponents swap?

Me in middle school PE - I’ll play deep center and then when my team is up to bat, I’ll turn and face another field and just keep doing that.

Demolition derby baseball?

Doesn't look like 100k fans to me.

Unless they are also running the Food City 500 at the same time, this is a ridiculous spectacle.

Those are some pretty sweet nosebleed seats in right. You get an experience not unlike watching from one of the apartment buildings sort-of near Petco, and if you’re really lucky, you might catch a 700-ft home run.

Hello. I’d like the worst seat in the house. Okay. Pick any seat.

It’s dumb and unnecessary.

Wot could possibly go wrong?

I think it looks like shit.

It looks like Candlestick Park turned into the Hulk Memorial Coliseum.

I hate it
