1) The Rogers Centre (Toronto Blue Jays)
It was built in 1989 and originally called the Sky Dome. At first, everything was great at the Sky Dome, but things have changed in the recent years. Now at 21 years old, the amenities at the Rogers Center are not nearly as good as they used to be. And when they close the retractable roof, the feeling of a major league ballpark completely disappears, and it looks more like a comic book expo. Also, when a game isn’t sold out, the stadium feels too big.

If you’re an avid baseball fan, there may well be many interesting facts about major league baseball parks you still don’t know about. You may find a few surprises in the following baseball scoreboards list:

•Camden Yards (Baltimore): Babe Ruth’s father’s saloon once occupied the land where this ball park now stands.

•Busch Stadium (St. Louis): an enormous manual baseball scoreboard replaced about 5,000 outfield seats in this ballpark.

In a baseball scoreboards feature, I have collated what I consider to be the greatest MLB stadiums of the all. Have a read, and see if you agree!

1. Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles. This ballpark is built into the side of a mountain, and it overlooks the Los Angeles downtown area. Apart from the baseball scoreboards, from the stadium seats you have a fabulous view of the hills of Hollywood. The Dodger Stadium may not have the most central location, but it is easy to get to the other famous places in L.A. if you want to do other sightseeing after a baseball game.

A ballpark is so much more than just a place to watch teams play and the score change on the baseball scoreboards. It’s an arena of historical moments where memories are made, which you may keep with you forever. Most ballparks have similar features, but only some have uniquely distinguishable characteristics that will make your experience more interesting. In a baseball scoreboards feature, I have brought together the five quirkiest baseball parks in the U.S.

In a baseball scoreboards feature, I have recalled what I consider to be the greatest old MLB ball parks of the past. Coming from what may be referred to as the “older” generation, I have a few (granted, not many!) advantages over my younger counterparts. One of these is that I was around to enjoy MLB before it became as commercialized as it is now. Nowadays it is all about “user experience” and “selling the brand,” whilst back in the day, it was more about the sport itself, and not just simply the money that it generates.

1) Fenway Park (Boston)
The “Green Monster” is one of the quirks of this stadium, which is an outfield wall 37 feet high. Other highlights of this stadium include the baseball scoreboards showing the Fenway history shortest majors home run as well as the longest home run.

2) Wrigley Field (Chicago)
Some describe the Wrigley Field as a nostalgic experience, since the rest of Chicago has turned into a mini-Manhattan. The Wrigley Field remains old-school as it always has been, with its advertising-free ivy covered fences. Wrigleyville, the surrounding neighborhood remains the same as well.

It’s already tough enough to sell tickets to spring games for fans to watch the baseball scoreboards show their favorite teams score. Attendance is pretty much flat across all baseball teams at the moment. Yet, this April things have been even worse than usual. About half a dozen teams have generated the worst crowds their stadiums have ever seen. This trend may pass, but it’s becoming evident that several teams are consistently not generating the crowds they need, no matter what their results on the baseball scoreboards may show.

In a football scoreboards feature, I have taken a look at the offensive lineman/tackle position in the NFL combine. If you are an offensive lineman and you want to make a lot of money in the NFL, then the best way to do that is to protect your quarterback like he was your mother, especially at the premier position of left tackle. In order to achieve this goal, your first step must be to ace the offensive lineman drill called the “kick slide” drill at the combine and impress the team representatives into drafting you.

The 2011 NFL Combine – The Workout Drills and What the Coaches are Looking For.
Think of the NFL Combine as a very vigorous and intense 4 day long job interview for the prospective drafts. College students from across the US gather at Indianapolis where scouts, coaches, executives and even doctors from all the NFL teams come to draft potential athletes. The combine is a mixture of various drills and workouts which every player has to undertake. The top athletes are always grabbed right off the shelf, so to speak. In this article, we will take a football scoreboards look at the various workout drills that the combine sets up for the athletes to go through and what exactly the scouts, coaches and everyone else is looking for in a player.

Concession stands and fast foods represent a big chunk of the business for every sport franchise. Every spectator in the audience pays the inflated buck to buy at least one food item and a beverage from the stadium concessions (and huge bucks for the ticket – all in the hope of seeing their team light up the baseball scoreboards!). However, with the pressure to feed approximately 52,000 people in one night, do the spectators get their money’s worth when it comes to food hygiene? Let’s take a baseball scoreboards look at which baseball stadiums violated the state’s food safety protocols in 2010.
