Modern Marvels

[Brian McKenna]

i guess this one has been out awhile - they were currently building pac bell stadium - but did anyone see the modern marvel episode on ballparks - pretty nice work - it talked more about history and design than actual constuction matters construction - which is perfect - i bought it on dvd

I missed it, and I was sooo pissed. I even wrote the History Channel trying to figure out when it would be shown again, to no avail.

Retractable roof stadium is the future of ballparks.Its a way to control the weather and eliminate rainouts.

Steveox, I notice you never actually post anything that has to do with the thread topic. Is there a reason for this?

Was that the one where they primarily focused on the construction of Toronto's Skydome?

[Brian McKenna]

no, actually it was mostly history - toronto was talked about but others just as well

Oldest thread I found in my cursory search just now. Can anybody dig up anything earlier?

I see you, and raise you.

In all seriousness, this is a great documentary, and highly recommend it to any ballpark enthusiast. Any chance they do a new one some time soon to include the new ballparks, like NYS, TF, CF, etc.?

I know, but this one is technically older...
