    Roof closed, the Astro Dome is a good comp considering the dimensions are nearly the same.
    Wasn't the Astro Dome a hitter's park?
    God would be expecting a first pitch breaking ball in the dirt because humans love to disappoint him.

      Not for HRs, as I recall. It was pretty spacious. I remember hearing things to the effect of: Glenn Davis could have hit a lot more HRs if hadn't played in the Astro Dome.

        I guess my memories of the Astro Dome are so well rooted in the Killer B's that I just assume it was hitter friendly

          Because the outfield was so spacious, I think it was friendly average-wise
          ... that is, unless they tinkered with the dimensions during my baseball hiatus in the 90's.

              The Astrodome was a solid pitchers' park in preventing home runs. Between '66 and '92 the dimensions were 340-390-406-390-340.
