And, not just any new ballpark. For whatever reason, baseball conjures up the most nostalgia of any major sport.
Purists lobby for grass and outlaw aluminum.
Die-hard fans obsess over lost causes. And, Major League club owners protect what's vaguely referred to as the best interests of baseball through a commissioner who can only be called an enlightened despot. It's also one of the finest architecturally. Oriole Park wouldn't be Oriole Park without Camden Yards, a long, tall historic railroad depot that has been respectfully restored and completely integrated into the facility. Camden Yards works beautifully.
