Chattanooga just wants to get on Los Angeles's good side...whats gonna happen when our contract runs out with the Dodgers? Will they put the plaque on ebay? I just love how the orginization has forgot all of its history....what a shame...personally as nice as Bellsouth park or AT&T Field is it still does not compare to Engel....Id rather watch a highschool game at Engel than a Lookouts game at AT&T

a few of things.
1. the Looks/Dodgers deal was extended 4 years recently 2. Frank Burke is the king of gimmicks, some neat ideas, some copy-cats, some are ridiculous 3. I understand the move to downtown completely but I badly miss Engel 4. If you think AT&T Field is a good/nice/cool ballpark - you haven't been to many cool/nice/good minor league ballparks. I can name 10 that are better that I've been to. wwaayy better 5. AT&T Field constantly has terrible service
AT&T Field is an O.K. place to take in a game. But the place pretty much sucks

And before I get blasted for saying our downtown piece of tin foil sucks, online compare & contrasting. there might be a pop quiz, so study hard www.ballparkreviews.com/

That's funny as hell. Being a Reds fan haven't been back since Frank kicked the Reds to the curb. I hate the Dodgers. Keep it regional at least with the Major League. Cincy,Atlanta,Fla etc..not a team on the other side of the country.
AT&T is nice Frank got what he paid for. The Nicest double-wide trailer looking stadium in the minor leagues. The pole barn of stadiums. What the hell it's Chattanooga those hicks we'll think it's nice...

While I don't know Frank personally I have been around him at the ballpark several times, been around people who do know him and watched him interact, & been around him @ WGOW when I worked there.
I'd say overall very nice guy. no doubt. i just don't think he runs as tight an overall ship @ AT&T field as he gets credit for. But he seems to be a savvy business man that understands the average baseball fan.
That's one thing I know for sure,.. he isn't some rich guy that got into the baseball buisness b/c someone told him it was lucrative. The guy LOVES baseball. And I respect anybody with a passion for it.

I'm thinking that Burke is just kissing up to the Dodgers brass to try his best to ensure his affliation.
Since it's not a Lookouts Hall of Fame you'll only see people/players who played or visited AT&T Field. Mostly it's a Frank Burke, and his Tin Foil Stadium, self-gloss
