They want it to look like a WHAT?
You heard me. A battleship. The outfield walls would be gun-metal grey, the backstop would have portholes, and a cannon would shoot behind right-center field when the home team knocks one overboard.
As a fellow my-team's-stadium-is-baseball-tradition guy, I too am aghast.
Right now, Norfolk has Harbor Park, which is where the Mets' AAA team plays...I guess it's sort of a cross between Camden Yards and Pacific Bell.
