Yes, our seats are missing! A major waterproofing/fireproofing project is underway at the ballpark during the off-season, and the seats have been removed…about six thousand of them at this point. The DBAP looks naked.
Why? All of the joints have to be re-caulked and a sealant will be applied to the concrete. It’s a high-tech membrane that will keep water out of our offices and concession stands beneath the seating bowl.
After 15 seasons (the DBAP opened in 1995) it’s a bit leaky “down under” and a few front office employees have developed a mildew problem. It’s interfering with their social lives!

Ticket patrons can pick their seats for 2010…and even take them home for the winter. (…just kidding.)
...and we now have seating on the concourse. I question this marketing strategy.
...hope this project is finished on schedule, or you may be asked to bring a lawn chair to Opening Day. (...just kidding.)
