Just curious, but what part of The Baseball Grounds was inspired by Camden Yards?

The whole thing, probably.

I think it could be considered a 'retro classic' style park, which is a style that became popular after Camden Yards was built. Camden Yards inspired a whole new (or "old") approach to ballpark design.

If I had one thing to critique concerning the retro style (which I think is a positive overall IMO, don't get me wrong) is the ever constant color scheme that normally consists of brown brick and green trim; changing up that repetitive color scheme (while keeping the retro style) wouldn't hurt. Of course the Marlins is one of the few teams that went all out anti-retro, and it's ballpark's color scheme is very interesting (and questionable) to say the least.

Yeah, the whole concept. The "retro" design at that time was meant to be a return to making a good place to watch baseball rather than cramming people in or doing a multi-use thing. As I recall some of the specific features include walkways with vendors so that people can walk around the entire ballpark and still get a view of the game, the "picnic" area, and the general old school look.
Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?

I love the Jacksonville Baseball Grounds, it offers a really high-quality experience for good prices, and the whole environment is a lot of affordable fun, even if the Shrimp aren't winning. $2 beers, $2 hotdogs, candied pralines, the ability to enjoy the game from a ton of different perspectives, it's a very charming place.

Thanks.  I personally love the style of the park and that you can get concessions without leaving view of the field.

It's a great stadium.

Watching this game and asking myself, "Would it really suck if the Jaguars left Jacksonville?"

New stadium.....?

Snaketoz

The entire Jaguar organization from player up to front office is totally inept.  No discipline, lack of effort, same mistakes over and over, poor coaching, poor personnel decisions.  A total renovation is needed.

11 pass attempts to L Fournette so far..............  Not sure where that is coming from.

Peter Griffin

lame game. at least we got 20 on the scoreboard, I thought we were gonna be a total blowout at 3 pts total.

That's about all I can say about this one...

I gave up when the Flaming Thumbtacks got their 3rd TD in less than 5 minutes.
Were our scores against their practice squad?

Their season is done but I do appreciate the two garbage TDs by Fournette. At least it helped in one of my fantasy leagues.

Wonder if they'll go ahead and move groundbreaking up at Lot J. Construction was scheduled to begin on Monday after the AFC Championship game. I'm quite sure we're mathematically eliminated from hosting at this point.

^Council hasn't approved the incentives deal.

A minor detail.  I'm sure Lenny and Shad K. can work out a deal over drinks at the River Club.  Getting Council approval is just a technicality.
