Is there so little sun in Oakland that they can get away with that design? Dodger fans would have numerous sun induced heat spells if that had been the model for Chavez Ravine.
Maybe they'll be on the playing field, like the Polo Grounds?
Are they really planning to put of swimming pool up there in the RF upper deck? Maybe they can put the bullpens there, sna bring the pitchers into games via water slide.
I like the art, but that little blue swirly thing near the bottom makes me wonder what Pedro Bell would do if he designed this park. If nothing else, everyone would be in an interesting mood...
9 It doesn't seem like those dimensions could be correct. The way it's drawn, I don't know how you get from 320 in that spot it's written and then to 410 out in center. Not to mention how it could only get 17 ft deeper with the fence heading out and the steep jutting out that takes place right before 320.
So left field gets 1 legit tier of bleachers plus a sort of field-level bleacher and a rather tall-looking pyramidal extension, while right field gets stuck above a suspiciously familiar-looking out of town scoreboard (with room for only 8 games I might add) and a weird diamond-level-esque subterranean cubbyhole.
I am glad I have no fear of this ever actually coming to pass.
C'mon. You know how hard it is to do one of these drawings? There are just way too many things to include. FOUR bases. Not just pieces of wood stuck in the ground like cricket. And all of those splotchy "people" in the stands. I barely had enough time to google the a's logo. And after all that, I had to remove the transamerica building from the background (ok, cisco field, San Francisco, right? Wrong. Apparently it's named after some butter alternative), and you people are complaining about bullpens? Really.

Cisco Field ...
was no friend of mine
and the water slide could have "logs" shaped like those ol' bullpen cars from the 60s ...
