Haha! I think you are right.

there are a couple things I like about the stadium and a couple that bug me a lot. I like the large window in left centerfield, I also like the ground level seats in the outfield.

Now for the offenses. The ornament in centerfield is weak and needs to go. It just looks out of place and a little forced, imo. I am also not too keen on the scoreboard in rightfield it looks a little too arena-ish for my tastes, but it is hard to really judge from a couple of photos.

Lastly, this is an indoor stadium, as such I expect it has a retractable roof and the roof will only be in place on rainy days. If not, then the entire structure is an abomination as far as my baseball mind is concerned.
