Toronto at 54% of the time is pretty good; but what gets me is the texas teams and Miami: Rangers just above 10%, Astros under 10%; miami at only 2 games in 2021!
Whats the point of spending all that money on a retractable roof |
That is interesting. I'll have to read it later but I'd think it's the rain. I understood why the Skydome was originally built as a multipurpose facility at the time (as it was all the rage back then), but what I don't get is why any new facility has to be covered? NY, Boston, and those cities with similar climates don't do it. What makes it a necessity? Personally I do like the option available. The Skydome/Rogers Centre on a nice summer day can be a decent facility.
