Henry,
Thanks for the reminder of these great concepts. A couple of years ago, the Twin Cities had put together a citizen's task force to examine stadium solutions. I came across a meeting on public access TV (completely by accident while channel surfing) at which Phillip Bess was speaking. He had written a book about fitting ballparks into communities and used Armour Field quite exstensively to illustrate examples of the "right" way to do this. The great stadium book "Green Cathedrals" also devotes some space to Armour Field describing its details and showing some concept drawings. As the new Comiskey has gotten the reputation of being the worst of the new ballparks built in the most recent phase of ballpark construction, I wonder how Armour Field would have been received in its place.
