Home Plate Backdrop at New Stadium to Be Dual Aquariums

[Fritz]

On a serious note, I hope that thing is sufficiently protected so foul balls don't harm the fish.

They had Gaby throw as hard as he could at the tanks and nothing happened. Don't know if that's anything close to a foul ball, but they at least "tried."

If I sat in those seats, I'd never watch a game.

"Oh look at the fishies!"

I read that the angles are such that a foul ball can't hit the glass directly. It would either hit the ground first or go above the tanks.

Nice.

Wonder how many times it took Gaby to hit the tank with his ever so accurate arm.

They should've called Zambrano so he could have beat the shit out of it.

It's not so much I'd worry about the glass breaking, it's that the fish would be shocked/harmed from balls hitting the tank. That's why they don't want you smacking the fish tanks at aquariums and such.

I think they responded to all those concerns when PETA folks got involved.

[emkayseven]

yeah they said something like it was double walled with soundproof/shatterproof glass

Fish are also sensitive to vibrations.
