Renovations for Time Warner Cable Field
The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers have announced that they are going to renovate their stadium through the offseason, adding in some new seating areas and moving the bullpens from their current location.
The link above has the full story and a new seating diagram for what it will look like. To be honest, as the broadcaster, I don't care about the new seating areas. What I'm fascinated by is the fact that the bullpens are going to be moved to the outfield.
Remember, the Timber Rattlers had arguably the most unique bullpens in the league. Below are the pictures I took of the bullpens when we were there in July.
As you can see, the bullpens were sort of "carved" into the seating area, making for a unique experience for the fans, but also giving players more room to catch foul balls (or more room for wild throws to get caught up in).
Now, the bullpens are going to be beyond the outfield wall, which might make announcing who is warming up somewhat difficult. However, there's something to be said about watching a door in the wall open up, and having a flame-throwing reliever come running in while his music plays to excite the fans and intimidate the opponents.
Need an example? Watch below....and yes, I know it's in Spanish. I couldn't find it in English anywhere, but somehow, I think it's better in a different language.
Then again, the Silver Hawks don't go to Wisconsin this year, so I guess it doesn't matter.
