IMO...most MLB ballparks should be around 40,000 capacity. I'm guessing the Las Vegas ballpark will be built to allow for easy expansion if warranted. That reminds me...Speaking of such (the thought of Yankee Stadium adding a retractable roof), from what I heard, if I'm not mistaken, it's my understanding that the retractable roof that was built over Arthur Ashe Stadium was built without adding load to the exsitstiing structure. So my guess is that stadium didn't have to be raised. "So my guess is that stadium didn't have to be raised." I dunno...you'll have to talked with the "expert" re that.  |

Compare it to Angel Stadium, which is slightly older. Angel Stadium looks almost new... Angel Stadium's LF and RF reminds me of the original Yankee Stadium's LF and RF. Usually sat in the RF bleachers when I was a kid... .75 cents...unless going with my Dad who usually sprung for "General Admission"...$1.50, and very rarely "Reserved"...$2.50. |

There was another band Jo Jo Gunne that got into an argument about the sound system and Graham confronted them with his henchmen right on stage. All part of the show. "Jo Jo Gunne" morphed into "Spirit", which had a couple of hits..."I Got A Line On You" & "Nature's Way". Later, Jay Ferguson had a solo hit with "Thunder Island". |

"The Twelve Dreams Of Dr. Sardonicus" is the Spirit album I remember my brother playing. Jo Jo Gunne had a modest hit with a song called "Run." Or maybe it was called "Run Run Run." Lots of similarly-named songs, most of them not big hits. |

I remember "Run, run, run"...The Who off the "Happy Jack" album. Yep. There was a wonderful but relatively obscure song "Run Run Run" from 1964 by a Minnesota-based band called The Gestures. Also a modest 1967 hit of the same name by The Third Rail. Not to be confused with The Newbeats "Run Baby Run" from 1965 or Sheryl Crowe's song of the same name in the 90s. And there is always "Run Run Look And See" by Bryan Hyland from 1966. And I imagine dozens more with similar names involving running. "Run To Him" by Bobby Vee who we were recently discussing. Need to cut myself off here. |

I’ve always like one of the Guess Who’s less heralded songs, “Running Down the Street”…

My youngest brother was buying BoDeans stuff so I do know some of their music. "You Don't Get Much" is one I recall from the late 1980s when I was slowly losing my connections to mainstream rock. You would never run out of songs that had some variation on the word "run" in the title. |
