Revision as of 20:43, 31 July 2006
This article concerning a minor league ballpark in Texas recently became a good article. I have found little regarding what a stadium article should be in order to become featured, and I was hoping that this peer review could help me to gain more perspective on the article (as all peer reviews do). I anxiously await any input and thank you in advance for your aid. — Scm83x hook 'em 22:26, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
- For an article with as many mentions of architectural awards it is surprising how little description is given to the structure's architecture. The article lists a handful of features (the existence of luxury suites, location of the bull pens, and location of a pool) but fails to include a description of the overall style or theme of the ballpark (does the ballpark have a retro theme, futuristic styling, ...?). There also needs to be a mention of what other types of events are held besides baseball games. --Allen3 talk 16:16, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
