I dunno, I just wouldn't want to see an unfinished product and hitting BP in a half-done stadium. That's just me. Like for instance, I am not a fan of exhibition games, to me it takes away from opening day. (even though I've been to exhibitions, Yankees at Marlins in 08)

I think it's kind of silly to have them hit in an unfinished product because I'd be concerned something (no matter how remote) could go wrong.
I do understand that they're doing it to try to build anticipation and excitement for the stadium though, so that's fine.
At least it's not like the Giants having a private batting practice with Barry Bonds before opening Pac-Bell so he could be the first person to hit a ball into McCovey Cove (which they did), it's just trying to build the brand through awareness.
I think this is pretty cool. They are probably going to stage the seat installation on the same day. Instead of a 15 second clip during the sports segment, it will be a full length feature on the news. Good public awareness builder in terms of construction progress and pitchers and catchers reporting.
