That stadium is so meh.

Target Field may be the most beautiful new ballpark in the last 80 years, and Nationals Park and Great American are also worthy contenders for ballparks with contemporary design.

It's interesting that many MLB teams feel compelled to embrace some form of historic legacy through traditional design, even when they have no historic legacy of their own (e.g. the Mets at CitiField, the Brewers, etc) while football teams are often eager to pursue dynamic new ideas, like Arizona's sliding turf or Atlanta's incredible "iris" roof.
