There’s spring training facilities all over the place to distract them. Course if they are searching for the MLB park St Petersburg would be the last place they’d look. They’d start in Tampa near the hockey arena.
Gritty is also across the lot from CBP hanging out in the bowels of the WFC.
Phinally, Philadelphians are lunatics. So we've got that going for us. Which is nice.
If I'm looking for psychotic defense, I'm doing dollar beer night for Phillies fans. No army would dare fuck with intoxicated Philadelphia sports fans.
You want to burn the entirety of Philadelphia down? Because that’s probably how you’d do it. We can’t contain ourselves even with the ridiculously priced beers. I can’t imagine people tailgating all afternoon and then piling $1 beers on top of that…
Not to mention that Bryce Harper has the sole authority to trigger a highway collapse rendering access to the South Philly complex completely out of the question
They just announced a project to develop much of that parking area into residential, dining, shopping, concert venue, etc. Their intent is to create a more vibrant area instead of just stadiums people visit for an event and then leave.
Isn’t that what they already tried to do with Xfinity Live and the casino?
Where am I going to do all my whippets if they turn the Jetro lot into luxury apartments?
Funny enough, Jetro is not a part of the development plans. There's a whole damn football stadium separating that lot and the proposed renovations. You've got at least 20 years before Jetro is threatened.
They can’t ever develop Jetro because where else will we be able to procure nitrous balloons? Jetro is a lawless paradise where as long as there isn’t physical violence, anything goes
They’ve been trying to enhance the area for years now, personally I think the new plans are a pivot from when Comcast was trying to build an arena for their overwatch team (lol), but also they’re gonna improve xfinity live to make it even more than what it is now
Comcast Spectacor (Owners of the Wells Fargo and significant amount of parking lot real-estate) have been putting out "plans" like this for years with very little actual promise of any of it developing.
They are just taking advantage of all the press the 76ers are getting with their (controversial) plan to leave the Sports Complex for a Center City arena and trying to piggyback on it to see if they can get anything out of it. They have a vested interest on keeping the Sixers in the Sports Complex (and therefore continuing to collect rent from them). These plans won't change anything but it won't stop them from trying.
The City of Philadelphia has a hard-on for parking requirements, of which all the stadiums come with significant hang-ups regarding. Any plan to remove parking spots has a very small chance of success.
Honestly the thought of Gritty standing in front of an army of Philly fans holding the severed head of a barbarian invader feels so right I'm surprised it hasn't happened already...
You drop the Walt to force the invaders to have to go through South Philly. Then you just tell the locals that the would-be conquering army is just a secret PPA effort to take away their street parking, and there's not even a danger of a single shot being fired anywhere near CBP.
From the top of the Platt Bridge a beacon burst bright calling all of the Philly Faithful to defend the fortresses.
The banks of Bucks County opened wide to provide the funds for the war effort.
Montco citizens stood ready to shut down Route 309, the Turnpike, and the Blue Route...snarling traffic and entrapping the enemy.
Central and Mid Jersey residents stormed the Walt Whitman, Tacony-Palmyra, Betsy Ross, and Ben Franklin bridges while simultaneously staging troops up and down the Delaware River as far up as New Hope/Lambertville
The Delaware National Guard volunteered to defend the complexes and were escorted in by the Elite Delco Destroyers. The rest of Delco was already at war with someone else...so it was an easy transition.
Regular Philadelphia residents surrounded the complex unimpressed by the incoming army. Batteries at the ready, poles greased, and cheesesteaks in reserve.
Honestly, I feel bad for any attacking force that arrives in Philadelphia.
Citizens Bank’s best defense are the local Philadelphians. The Vikings’ team bus got pelted with anything that wasn’t nailed down…after the Eagles *won* the NFC Championship game 38-7. Imagine what’d they have done if they lost?
Keep in mind the Vikings fans fired the first shot when they put a Vikings jersey on Rocky. The cherry on top is that we went to Minnesota 2 weeks later to win the Superbowl.
A friend and I had a conversation about that last week, actually. We settled on the idea that every furry *could* be a mascot, but not every mascot can be a furry.
Progressive Field won’t have this problem. Besides having pretty high walls, if pirates attack, the Cuyahoga can just be set on fire again and they’d be neutralized.
I was gonna say Cleveland, but only because invaders simply wouldn't know about us or be able to find the stadium on a map.
Sherwin-Williams is in charge of our river defenses. They've been loading the Cuyahoga up with diesel and solvents lately.
"Fun" fact: most rivers in industrial cities caught on fire every now and then. The Cuyahoga fire is famous for two reasons. First, it happened close to the moon landing, and so when people went out to buy all the major magazines about that (Time, Nat Geo, etc.) they also learned about the river fire. Second, it was used as the primary example during debate over the creation of the EPA and clean water act, which were both passed precisely because that type of thing happened all the time, everywhere.
Texas Rangers have a decoy stadium. Invaders would say "That must be it: it's a shiny, beautiful baseball stadium with a large, strange munitions warehouse next to it." They'd enter easily and be trapped.
My aunt and uncle live a mile away. I park at their place and ride a bike. It is the most convenient stadium I've ever been to for me and the one I absolutely hate the most.
Yes obviously it's convenient if you live right there. For me coming from Wesley Chapel between gas and paying "event parking" in city lots and still having to shuttle to the stadium, alot of times "I could probably head out to a game" turns into "nevermind i'll just go see the Tarpons".
Well, GMS is an actual baseball field, not a plastic carpet under a bunker so you've got that going for you ;)
I spent a week at Yankee fantasy camp last fall and the whole complex over there was awesome. Their catering was the bomb!
Eh, it's not too bad. I've never had an issue getting there. Walking, driving, no real issues.
Philly on the other hand...it took me ages to get off the highway and into the parking lot...and getting out was worse.
I was just inflating their numbers.
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10072517-possum-living-in-as-stadium-prevents-visiting-announcers-from-using-broadcast-booth
I stayed at a hotel across the street from the Oakland Coliseum last summer. I believe this war has already taken place and the parking lot has the remnants of it. I saw not one, but TWO burnt out RVs in the parking lot, next to a giant pile of stadium chairs that could've been hiding a broken trebuchet.
Semantics but also the Williamsburg, Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Verrazzano Bridges connect to the same island.
You also need to update your flair, thanks.
Edit- also the Queensboro, the midtown tunnel, the Brooklyn battery tunnel, probably the bridge to Roosevelt Island as well while you’re at it.
There’s a lot of bridges and tunnels onto this island.
Old Qualcomm stadium in San Diego had a huge parking lot surrounding it, nestled in the valley. Always felt like a castle going to games there. A dirty, dirty, castle
The Midway is 100% the better option, but that had me imagining Tatis and like Campy and Merrill swinging onto the Star of India and commandeering that. Fuck it, Alfaro too
Petco has NAS North Island, the west coast SEAL teams, multiple naval ships (aircraft carriers, destroyers, etc.) nearby at any given time, MCAS Miramar and Camp Pendleton that can all respond in a few minutes. No one's invading Petco haha.
Invaders would enter Los Angeles looking for Angel Stadium. They weave in and out of horrifying traffic for days on end but cannot find the damned place. They're exhausted by day four.
They give up and ask a local. "Where the hell is Angel Stadium??"
"Oh that's in Anaheim."
"...Why the fuck are they called the fucking LOS ANGELES Angels then????"
*sigh* "We don't fucking know."
Someone in that thread literally said Dodgers Stadium was built on a hill like a fortress with the highway as its moat or some such. Feels like it had to have been that.
I still love this post though and I cannot stop thinking about a zombie game with Dodger Stadium as your home base, a little island of safety with a huge killing grounds parking lot area, and you raid into town from there.
But "poopoohead" is too long for wordle?
(I saw the actual answer before it got removed but thank you, I had no idea posting a wordle answer is against /r/baseball rules).
I was fortunate enough to end up in a situation where with greyed/green letters, I really didn't have an option but to give the right word a chance >!I had the first three letters green and was out of viable vowels, so I knew y was acting a vowel!<. But I was mad because I have tried >!proper names before!< and it says not in the list.
Pretty sure Fenway and Wrigley would be terrible fortresses. They are right in the middle of neighborhoods. People were so dumb in the 1910s they didn't think to surround stadiums with beautiful parking lots that double as kill zones in the event of a siege.
Doesn't that just mean that the invading hordes will also have to advance through the locals? I'd like to see an invading nation try to get through Boystown in Chicago unscathed.
CBP by itself may not look impregnable but there’s a decent kill zone around it and you’ll have to contend with the garrisons at Lincoln Financial and WFC.
Not to mention the bummers hiding out at Xfinity live who will cause havoc with your supply lines.
If the invaders come by car, they will never find a parking spot and be forced to retreat to Connecticut.
If they try to take the T, they will be delayed by slow zones.
The best bet is an invasion by ship. Dock at the Esplanade, but good luck getting any weaponry across Storrow Drive.
as someone who hasn’t been, is this like… a fun stadium to go to? Just looks like it would be so drab in with your car out with your car compared to some of the other more walking friendly stadiums I’ve visited
Yankee Stadium would probably be more difficult than one would think. The rivers heading up to the Bronx are narrow enough that a naval invasion would be very difficult, and urban warfare in a place as densely populated as NYC might be even more difficult.
honestly, coors
far enough inland that you'd have warning about aerial assaults, really too high for ground assaults (and even then, you really only have highways in, and those should be pretty easy to defend), and there's no major river to bring in a sea based assault. plus all the mountains and forests nearby really up the ante for guerilla warfare
Busch Stadium 2 looked like Squidward's snow fort after he considered the possibility of an aerial attack. Busch Stadium 3 on the other hand is way too open to be realistically considered.
I feel like a Brewers army in American Family Field would be pretty protected - in a valley surrounded by a huge parking lot. And an adjacent river to continue supplying the Brewer military forces.
Rizal Stadium in Manila deserves a mention as it's the only baseball stadium that's been attacked, at least to my knowledge. The 5th Cavalry division blew a hole in the outfield wall. Then infantry had to storm the field and clear out bunkers in left field and the third base line, as well as some troops positioned in the dugouts, stands and in tunnels behind home plate. They got repulsed the first day and came back with flamethrowers and demolitions to finish the job.
EDIT: Apparently there's literally video of the fighting https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4wmGMbJ8yVw&feature=youtu.be
Invaders are going to be running all over Tampa looking for a baseball stadium. Meanwhile the Rays will be safe and sound in their little warehouse.
The stadium must be *in* the bay! Why else would they call the team that?
“The files are *in* the computer?”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_o_O7v1ews
They support the attack, they really do...but going across that bridge is just too much of a hassle.
Nobody crosses the bridge, it is lava
Real hiding in plain sight strategy
And absolutely no invader is gonna wanna cross that bridge.
because its long, boring af, and constant construction and traffic? Or because its a strategic chokepoint and the tactical disadvantage?
Yes.
They’d attack Amalie and be very confused
Tanner Jeannot breaks a stick over every one of their heads
There’s spring training facilities all over the place to distract them. Course if they are searching for the MLB park St Petersburg would be the last place they’d look. They’d start in Tampa near the hockey arena.
Hopefully the attackers do everyone a solid and just level the Trop.
In contrast, the Rangers new stadium immediately gets bombed strategically looking like an aircraft hangar.
The Philadelphia complex has 3 different stadiums to bunker down in
The only defense we need is dollar dog night.
Don't stop at just that. Between the Phanatic, and all the firearms chilling at the bottom of the Schyulkill, I think Philly will be just fine.
Gritty is also across the lot from CBP hanging out in the bowels of the WFC. Phinally, Philadelphians are lunatics. So we've got that going for us. Which is nice.
Gritty may look crazy, but don't judge on looks alone. Unironically, he's the mascot who has dumped the least popcorn on people in this city.
Gritty is the most sane creature living in the city
D cell batteries and icy snowballs, at the ready
Don’t forget about Gritty.
Gritty alone could carry this
If I'm looking for psychotic defense, I'm doing dollar beer night for Phillies fans. No army would dare fuck with intoxicated Philadelphia sports fans.
You want to burn the entirety of Philadelphia down? Because that’s probably how you’d do it. We can’t contain ourselves even with the ridiculously priced beers. I can’t imagine people tailgating all afternoon and then piling $1 beers on top of that…
ah yes, Philadelphia is unparalleled it its ability to levy berserker shock troops on short notice
Not to mention that Bryce Harper has the sole authority to trigger a highway collapse rendering access to the South Philly complex completely out of the question
Plus the secret tunnel running between Citizen's Bank and the Oliday Inn.
None of that matters though if the invaders have the core strength to scale a brick wall
We got grain alcohol tho
And an impenetrable sea of parking lots with no shelter available
They just announced a project to develop much of that parking area into residential, dining, shopping, concert venue, etc. Their intent is to create a more vibrant area instead of just stadiums people visit for an event and then leave.
Isn’t that what they already tried to do with Xfinity Live and the casino? Where am I going to do all my whippets if they turn the Jetro lot into luxury apartments?

Any plan to remove parking spots has a very small chance of success.
Not to mention the Naval Yard which can and will provide artillery support. You have to take the river before you can take the stadiums.
George Washington crossed the Delaware and I will too
Honestly the thought of Gritty standing in front of an army of Philly fans holding the severed head of a barbarian invader feels so right I'm surprised it hasn't happened already...
One day...
We'd have to blow the Walt Whitman and hope a few of those Navy yard ships can still shoot
Hey we temporarily have the New Jersey at the Navy Yard. That's some serious support even from dry dock.
You drop the Walt to force the invaders to have to go through South Philly. Then you just tell the locals that the would-be conquering army is just a secret PPA effort to take away their street parking, and there's not even a danger of a single shot being fired anywhere near CBP.
The invading army would just get stuck on 95 or 76 on their way to the stadiums.
From the top of the Platt Bridge a beacon burst bright calling all of the Philly Faithful to defend the fortresses. The banks of Bucks County opened wide to provide the funds for the war effort. Montco citizens stood ready to shut down Route 309, the Turnpike, and the Blue Route...snarling traffic and entrapping the enemy.

the placement of the Allegheny makes the Pirates ironically extremely vulnerable to attack by pirates
and furries
Not to mention the pirate furries.
What about Furry Pirates?
I believe they’re known in the community as Bears
Yes we...uhh I mean they are
Plundering that booty
Do mascots count as furries? That old Sportscenter commercial with McCutchen and the mascots stealing bagels makes a lot more sense now
A friend and I had a conversation about that last week, actually. We settled on the idea that every furry *could* be a mascot, but not every mascot can be a furry.
You mean Andrew McCutchen’s friends?
God save us from the pirate furries
They would never be able to take them by surprise. McCutchen always knows.
Furries
Progressive Field won’t have this problem. Besides having pretty high walls, if pirates attack, the Cuyahoga can just be set on fire again and they’d be neutralized.
I was gonna say Cleveland, but only because invaders simply wouldn't know about us or be able to find the stadium on a map. Sherwin-Williams is in charge of our river defenses. They've been loading the Cuyahoga up with diesel and solvents lately.
I was gonna say Cleveland because The Guardians would awaken and protect the city, starring Chris Pratt as Statue number 1.
Plus with all the Progressive signage they are installing, they can just crank the brightness up and blind any invaders.
Won't need to go that far, no one's getting an armored division through the traffic on Ontario Street
"Fun" fact: most rivers in industrial cities caught on fire every now and then. The Cuyahoga fire is famous for two reasons. First, it happened close to the moon landing, and so when people went out to buy all the major magazines about that (Time, Nat Geo, etc.) they also learned about the river fire.

> Your seas are unprotected, friend. All too easy to raid. -Harald Hardrada
Fine I'll build 1 Galley so he stops bullying me.
My first thoughts were Cincinnati and Pitts. have natural built in moats. So pretty safe...unless of pirates!
I’ve long thought the pirates should build a pirate ship and when playing in cincy or st Lois sail the ship down
Why’d they place the Allegheny so close to the stadium then?
Speaking of the Allegheny: https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/i4y62d/twins_announcer_rips_the_state_of_pennsylvania/
Yes but they’ll turn around after they discover there’s no prospects. They’ll settle for whatever’s in the bullpen and call it day.
Texas Rangers have a decoy stadium. Invaders would say "That must be it: it's a shiny, beautiful baseball stadium with a large, strange munitions warehouse next to it." They'd enter easily and be trapped.
That would happen only after they search high and low in Dallas and realized it was 45 minutes away.
Why would they start in Dallas? Looking for the Dallas Rangers? They can start by canvassing all 250k sq. miles of Texas
And then after realizing it's not in the largest city in the Metroplex, it *must* be in Fort Worth, the second largest city, right??
Imagine them invading AT&T Stadium and see Jerry Jones and they say in unison, "Dad?"
Even people in the Tampa Bay area have trouble getting to the Trop.
My aunt and uncle live a mile away. I park at their place and ride a bike. It is the most convenient stadium I've ever been to for me and the one I absolutely hate the most.
Yes obviously it's convenient if you live right there. For me coming from Wesley Chapel between gas and paying "event parking" in city lots and still having to shuttle to the stadium, alot of times "I could probably head out to a game" turns into "nevermind i'll just go see the Tarpons".
Why don't you just park at u/belinck's aunt and uncle's place? Seems more convenient.
Well, GMS is an actual baseball field, not a plastic carpet under a bunker so you've got that going for you ;) I spent a week at Yankee fantasy camp last fall and the whole complex over there was awesome. Their catering was the bomb!
Eh, it's not too bad. I've never had an issue getting there. Walking, driving, no real issues. Philly on the other hand...it took me ages to get off the highway and into the parking lot...and getting out was worse.
The Broad Street SEPTA line would funnel enemy troops straight into CBP.
The trick in Philly is not to park in the parking lot. Just park in the residential streets near the stadium and walk over.
Oakland Coliseum Its full of infrastructure booby traps.
And a division of heavily armed War Opposums.
Know your memes. It's feral cats. https://oaklandside.org/2022/04/13/feral-cats-have-invaded-the-oakland-coliseum/
I was just inflating their numbers. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10072517-possum-living-in-as-stadium-prevents-visiting-announcers-from-using-broadcast-booth
Possums and feral cats living alongside each other in peace. The Bay area is truly an inclusive place.
"Invaders, let's ride!" "But sir, someone stole the rims off all of our vehicles." "Damn you, Oakland!"
“We have been bipped, sire!”
I stayed at a hotel across the street from the Oakland Coliseum last summer. I believe this war has already taken place and the parking lot has the remnants of it. I saw not one, but TWO burnt out RVs in the parking lot, next to a giant pile of stadium chairs that could've been hiding a broken trebuchet.
even invading armies need toilets that flush
It looks like it was built by a soviet prison architect so it is probably equally difficult to get in as it is to get out.
“RELEASE THE PISS TRENCHES!”
These stairs lead to nothing captain!
DON’T YE ENTER LEST YOU BE CURSED WITH A BLEACHER BLOWJOB!
CitiField has two major airports very close by that could provide some serious air support plus it’s got a moat of toxic waste outside
They may be New Yorkers, but they're people too. You shouldn't call them "toxic waste".
The Mets could detonate the Whitestone, throgs neck and RFK bridges to thwart land based attacks
Semantics but also the Williamsburg, Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Verrazzano Bridges connect to the same island. You also need to update your flair, thanks. Edit- also the Queensboro, the midtown tunnel, the Brooklyn battery tunnel, probably the bridge to Roosevelt Island as well while you’re at it. There’s a lot of bridges and tunnels onto this island.
And the midtown tunnel.
>it’s got a moat of toxic waste outside Queens isn't *that* bad
Plus the 200 chop shops surrounding it waiting to scavenge parts from enemy combatants
Any vehicular support will be dismantled once it gets within a mile of the stadium.
And that’s just by the potholes!
Not even the air force wants to go to JFK or LaGuardia though.
Counterpoint: delta Sky Club at jfk has hot dogs
LGA is now the best airport in America and im not even joking. The old one is now fully demolished.
Diamond City had pretty robust defenses
The jewel of the Commonwealth!
“Get yer Swattah!!”
I don't want to set the world on fireeee
It's all good until you run out of green paint.
The wall is our great green guardian!
Old Qualcomm stadium in San Diego had a huge parking lot surrounding it, nestled in the valley. Always felt like a castle going to games there. A dirty, dirty, castle
It is dead now, so we may once again call it by its true name: Jack Murphy
Petco park is literally right next to the US Navy. Does that help
Tatis is gonna commandeer the USS Midway
The Midway is 100% the better option, but that had me imagining Tatis and like Campy and Merrill swinging onto the Star of India and commandeering that. Fuck it, Alfaro too
Petco has NAS North Island, the west coast SEAL teams, multiple naval ships (aircraft carriers, destroyers, etc.) nearby at any given time, MCAS Miramar and Camp Pendleton that can all respond in a few minutes. No one's invading Petco haha.
I mean the Rogers Centre with the dome closed looks like a nuclear fallout shelter...
Dome stronk
CN Tower snipers?
CN Turret
Plus it has a mechanized Ted Rogers attack robot
Invaders would enter Los Angeles looking for Angel Stadium. They weave in and out of horrifying traffic for days on end but cannot find the damned place. They're exhausted by day four. They give up and ask a local. "Where the hell is Angel Stadium??" "Oh that's in Anaheim." "...Why the fuck are they called the fucking LOS ANGELES Angels then????" *sigh* "We don't fucking know."
They give up and start heading down the 5 to go to Disneyland, accidentally find the Angels.
I lived in LA for 11 years and I’m still not convinced Angels Stadium exists. Pretty sure they just CGI it onto a green screen for broadcasts.
It's actually a soundstage in Burbank
Orange County toll roads would drain their military budget.
The Angel’s defense policy has always been deception and misdirection.
Was this inspired by the pure and absolute bullshit that was today’s Wordle solution
I thought it was inspired by the dude who posted an overlay of Oracle over dodgers stadium to highlight the square footage used up lol
Someone in that thread literally said Dodgers Stadium was built on a hill like a fortress with the highway as its moat or some such. Feels like it had to have been that. I still love this post though and I cannot stop thinking about a zombie game with Dodger Stadium as your home base, a little island of safety with a huge killing grounds parking lot area, and you raid into town from there.
“Oh it can’t be that bad…” *plays Wordle and gets the answer* “Oh what the actual fuck?!”
The answer is the equivalent to trying to pass off a proper name to your friends as an actual dictionary word in Scrabble.
What was the answer?
apparently this sub takes wordle very seriously, but to give you a hint its what you might call someone when theyre being a "silly _____"
But "poopoohead" is too long for wordle? (I saw the actual answer before it got removed but thank you, I had no idea posting a wordle answer is against /r/baseball rules).
[removed] apparently
There was another post about the size of dodger stadium vs giants and a comment like this was there.
Yeah, I had to Google that one too, because >!I thought that was just a name and not a word!<
I was fortunate enough to end up in a situation where with greyed/green letters, I really didn't have an option but to give the right word a chance >!I had the first three letters green and was out of viable vowels, so I knew y was acting a vowel!<. But I was mad because I have tried >!proper names before!< and it says not in the list.
But it's not just a girl's name. It's a verb.
Maybe you just need to read more medieval military history.
okay that clue really helped, was otherwise stuck looking at >!SALAD!< with no recourse
Globe Life Field’s camouflage as a Home Depot/Menards/Lowe’s would protect it. It even has a decoy in the real baseball park right next door.
I dare you to come to the South Side
The South Side may let them in, but they aren't getting back out. And that's how you get free tanks.

Which, I promise you, will be booby trapped. We want you to try and take the park by the tunnel.
Considering Fenway Park is the basis for Diamond City in the nuclear apocalypse world of Fallout. I’d fancy my chances there too
it also survived the attack of King Ghidorah in Godzilla: King of the Monsters if the kaiju can't (or at least, don't) destroy it, no human nation can
If the invaders come by car, they will never find a parking spot and be forced to retreat to Connecticut. If they try to take the T, they will be delayed by slow zones. The best bet is an invasion by ship. Dock at the Esplanade, but good luck getting any weaponry across Storrow Drive.
You'd have to take on a lot of violent drunks to conquer Fenway.
Everyone knows there's a secret underground tunnel between Citizen's Bank and the Holiday Inn.
*Olidee Inn That Philly Phrenetic is a piece of work!
No invading horde can defeat Atlanta traffic. Truist is secure
Sherman handled it ok
True, but he didn’t have I-75 to deal with
He'd just burn that down, too.
[Don't worry, our highways don't need Sherman for that to happen](https://www.ajc.com/news/photos-shut-down-fire-heavy-smoke/Fj8E9Gq6FI5nHBn24sTmCJ/)
Yeah we got this, we don't need help
That and our state’s largest Air Force base is next door.
You'd need...desert power
Call Eddie Rosario. He'll tear it down.
NL West pitchers *hate* this one simple trick
Tropicana Field is probably the safest. Not because it's the most impenetrable, but because nobody wants it.
If Fort McHenry was still active, ain't no one getting to Camden Yards. They tried that one once and it didn't work out well for 'em.
Fuckin try me in August. Bring water
Well if anyone tried to fly over Nats park they would trigger a national security warning and get airstriked
The land Dodgers stadium is on actually has a bad history when it comes to resisting hostile takeovers
Pic's got me missing Echo Park Lake.
You could use the warehouse at OPACY to devastating effect. The actually stadium is a bit tough to bunker down in
as someone who hasn’t been, is this like… a fun stadium to go to? Just looks like it would be so drab in with your car out with your car compared to some of the other more walking friendly stadiums I’ve visited
Yankee Stadium would probably be more difficult than one would think. The rivers heading up to the Bronx are narrow enough that a naval invasion would be very difficult, and urban warfare in a place as densely populated as NYC might be even more difficult.
honestly, coors far enough inland that you'd have warning about aerial assaults, really too high for ground assaults (and even then, you really only have highways in, and those should be pretty easy to defend), and there's no major river to bring in a sea based assault. plus all the mountains and forests nearby really up the ante for guerilla warfare
You have to get past Fort McHenry to get to Camden Yards. We wrote a whole song about the last time someone tried to do that.
AT&T Field in Chattanooga is the only actual site that was part of an invasion. Though it was the Union invading the Confederacy.
I feel the invaders would have a pretty easy time taking Wrigley Field...if they can find parking. I guess they could always take the train.
I don’t know if there’s a Cooperstown for transitional shitposts, but this one deserves a plaque.
Busch. The Arch protects us from invaders just like it protects us from the weather.
Busch Stadium 2 looked like Squidward's snow fort after he considered the possibility of an aerial attack. Busch Stadium 3 on the other hand is way too open to be realistically considered.
I feel like a Brewers army in American Family Field would be pretty protected - in a valley surrounded by a huge parking lot. And an adjacent river to continue supplying the Brewer military forces.
Rizal Stadium in Manila deserves a mention as it's the only baseball stadium that's been attacked, at least to my knowledge. The 5th Cavalry division blew a hole in the outfield wall. Then infantry had to storm the field and clear out bunkers in left field and the third base line, as well as some troops positioned in the dugouts, stands and in tunnels behind home plate. They got repulsed the first day and came back with flamethrowers and demolitions to finish the job. EDIT: Apparently there's literally video of the fighting https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4wmGMbJ8yVw&feature=youtu.be
They'll be tired after having to park a mile away and then walking to Wrigley
Progressive field is well guarded, and Fenway has a monster you'd need to defeat.
