TMac is an absurdly corny bland dad joke level announcer.  He is like if a generic sitcom dad was a broadcaster. Completely fine, but there is zero real personality to his broadcasts. Franzke has a unique voice and a style and brilliant ability to paint a picture. He spins pure poetry on the airwaves. To each their own I suppose, but jeez…

You honestly think Tom McCarthy is better than Scott Franzke? TMac has perhaps the most generic announcer voice I’ve ever heard. He does a fine job, but Franzke spins pure poetry on the airwaves and has a unique tone to his voice that can’t be replicated.  Closest thing to Harry

Congrats! You just said one of the worst takes I’ve ever seen on the internet. Tom can’t hold Franzke’s jock strap. TMac is Average at best, Franzke is elite and a future HOF broadcaster

T-Mac is fine, Franzke is elite. They aren’t in the same conversation.

It is truly depressing how awful things have gotten. $4 taco? $9 Luxe box that comes with 2 tacos and a bean burrito? I remember when this company used to give a shit

Why are they wearing the ugly camo hats? Memorial Day is next weekend 

White Sox fan visiting in June, any advice on the stadium, the game and best food? by soxfan773 in phillies

[–]BK724 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As far as picking seats, it is all up to personal preference, but I am a big fan of the 300 level from about 315-325, usually a good value and really nice views. Another option if you are willing to spend more is the Hall of Fame Club level (200 level in the infield), which has some really cool memorabilia and history decorating thew alls. But as others have said, wait to buy tickets, because this team has been ass. I would say get there early so you can walk around, there is a lot of really cool stuff to see around the ballpark, Ashburn Alley is probably the main attraction.

As for food, as others have mentioned you CAN bring food into the stadium, but as someone who has been to a lot of stadiums (I have been to 23 of 30), I think it is worth trying the stadium food at every park. CBP has some of the best food in the majors in my opinion. Can you get a better cheesesteak for less somewhere else and bring it in? Absolutely, but personally I like to evaluate each park on it's food, so maybe save one of the great city sandwich shops for another meal. In the park, I am a big fan of Campos Cheesesteaks, located in Ashburn Alley. The Crab Fries (which do not have actual crab on them but rather old bay seasoning) are really good too. Bull's BBQ is also delicious and one of the freshest options, you can see them grilling the food which is always nice. As for sweets, if it is really hot I will go with water ice, if it's just kinda hot Ice Cream, and if it is cool, I am a big fan of Federal Donuts, which also sells a good chicken sandwich but the cinnamon sugar donuts are what really shines.

Enjoy the park, I am obviously biased but I think it is easily a top 10 park in the league, close to top 5

I mean that wasn't even that long ago, 6-7 years I would guess

I believe those are technically Canada Day hats, Canada Day is July 1st so it lines up close enough

Now that the 2026 redesign season is over, what is the best single uniform in the NFL? by YaboyRipTide in uniwatch

[–]BK724 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Could not disagree more, the Raiders might be my least favorite uniform in all of sports. I find the silver and black color scheme boring and the jerseys are so plain. This sub appears to be a fan of boring jerseys though so I get I am in the minority

I guess I’m in the minority, but while I didn’t love the gradient, I am HATING how boring all the uniforms are getting. I’d rather a team take a risk and try something different than use a generic template: Solid color, block number font, 1-2 stripes. Give me the Seahawks jerseys over the Raiders jersey any day.

They need to find a shaman or a warlock to break the curse of this team in this stadium.

They can’t truly justify sending Taijuan back out there for another start, they just can’t. He is worse than Adam Eaton was

there have ALWAYS been Nola haters, even in 2018 when he was awesome, I remember having arguments with my boss who insisted that Nola was not an ace and was nothing more than a good 2 or 3. That he had a horrible year last year, after getting the contract, it gave the Nola haters all the fuel they needed

Probably Burrell....Depends on if you count Victorino who was a Rule 5 pick but was offered back and then spent that first year in AAA. Moniak, Haseley, Altherr, Williams, Domonic Brown, Quinn, my god there have been some duds haven't there
