Going to Fall League games was one thing I was most excited about when I moved here......and they're all at noon.  For those of us with a job, no bueno.

I've only been there for Fall League Baseball (really underrated if you like baseball)

I keep forgetting about the Fall baseball league, mostly because once football season rolls around baseball for me is out of sight, out of mind. But it does go to show what a unique sports market PHX is. It’s a rather uncommitted, big event market that acts like an expansive buffet rather than a restaurant focused on hyping a particular cuisine.

You go to a Diamondbacks game and half the fans are there to see the opponent they grew up with, like the Cubs or the Phillies, and not enough of the Diamondbacks fans have deep enough roots in Phoenix to rally the way someone from Wisconsin is born into living and dying for the Packers. And it doesn’t help that part of the reason Phoenix’s pro teams don’t have a lot of native support is that the Phoenix pro teams don’t offer their area fans consistent quality.

I should probably root for the Glendale Desert Dogs since two of their big league affiliations – the Astros and Cardinals – are the two clubs from my adolescence of middle school in Texas and high school near St. Louis.

When the Braves first moved to Atlanta, it was pretty common that opposing fans would be more prevalent than Braves fans.  It took 20 years, and some success, for Atlantans to become Braves fans, and then with WTBS you had folks from Idaho rooting for them even when they were awful.

And they were awful for a time, and then went worst to first.  Now they are toast of the town.

Ted Turner bought the Braves for 81 nights of cheap programming.

Indeed, it was a clever move that looked rather silly at the time.  We could barely get Channel 19 on our TV, it was very grainy, UHF and all that.  The signal got better pretty soon after that as I recall.  Then cable happened, maybe before he bought the Braves.  Cable would have been a godsend in remote portions of the country.

Ted Turner's daughter lived in our building.  I've seen her unit.  It is interestingly decorated.

Question, is any program enlarging their stadium now?  I saw a few going to fewer seats, maybe Cincinnati will try and expand.

Is this the right thread for that?

I bought into some season tickets from a friend who's an expat right now, so looks like I'll be going to the Texas-Alabama game in early September.  I expect it'll be a slaughter but I wouldn't be much of a fan if I only rooted for my team during the good times.

Yeah, but their hat is boring compared to the other teams' offerings, lol.

Tennessee's losing a few seats with their jumbotron installation.  It's weird that Neyland is now only 5th in capacity.

Texas recently remodeled the South Endzone, and reduced capacity in a shift away from general grandstands, and more toward luxury suites, loges, "experience terraces" and other stuff aimed at generating more revenue despite lower capacity.  Pretty common trend in stadiums these days, as administrators deal with declining attendance across all of college football.
