To each their own. I like the way the Islanders building uses glass and light with the various towers around the building to provide a brighter, more modern look.
IMO some of these brick baseball stadiums like Camden yards, Oracle Park in SF and Minute Maid Park are really nice. But baseball has always embraced its past.
