It looks bad on TV but it's even dumpier in person, if at all possible. To sum up the stadium, it's first set of bleachers were built 100 years ago and they have incrementally added/replaced/renovated bleachers at minimal cost since then to get up to the current capacity. The newest section is really a temporary set of metal benches extended on one side of the stadium that have been made semi-perminent with old conklin midway trailers to serve as concessions for that section. They absolutely need a new stadium one way or another, no amount of upgrades can fix Mosaic. That said I think a retractible roof stadium would be a white elephant of government largesse that's only going to be made possible by a fortunate reversal of economic fortunes combined with years of built up inferiority complexes.
