I didn't mean to imply that you liked the old cookie-cutters. My apologies if it sounded that way.

I also saw Comerica Park in Detroit on the same road trip that I saw the Jake, so I've made that Cleveland-Detroit combo visit, too, albeit with the slight difference of not seeing Tiger Stadium on the inside. And overall, I did like both parks a lot, but both were a notch below PNC Park. Detroit was similar to PNC with its view of downtown. But I was at Comerica the year the Tigers lost 119, and we could have sat anywhere. There were at least a couple of concession stands that were closed.

I definitely agree with you on the parking at a lot of the new places, including in Houston. I prefer plenty of rows of parking with an interstate nearby.
