i truly believe that marlins park, and whatever new stadiums might get built for the A's and Rays, will be the last new MLB stadiums to be built for quite some time, with the obvious exception of possible expansion teams.

well, with the news that the braves will be leaving turner field after only 20 seasons and moving to a new stadium facility out in the burbs of atlanta, i guess it's time for me to eat crow from this quote of mine several years ago.
i really didn't think that we'd be seeing stadium replacements from the retro-park era this early. i'm quite surprised, to be honest.
