I saw a recent video about Orioles Park at Camden Yards. One aspect about the ballpark is that Oriole Park at Camden Yards is 20 feet underground, which might explain why only Ken Griffey, Jr. Is the only player to hit the warehouse. If you add another, say, around 100 feet below ground, that could be an underground ballpark suitable for baseball. For the purpose of this video, you could also build an underground football Stadium or an arena for pro basketball/hockey.

One thing to consider, if they ever built any stadium on Mars/moon/etc: local gravity when taking into account world (human?) records. I’m doing so, they’d also have to go back through all the prior Olympic records and normalize them to 1G (earth gravity at sea level) and scale the heights jumped etc accordingly. Which would mean, an extra inch on earth would be approx 3 on Mars. So, Mars would be hard mode (like speed running a game on easy), but, each prior olympics might have some new world/Olympics records.

The Gerald R. Ford is not a Nimitz-class carrier. The basic outlines certainly share a number of similarities, but from a shipbuilding standpoint the Ford is regarded as the lead unit of a self-named class of carriers.

Actually you could build a baseball field on the ocean. I mean we already build bridges going over large bodies of water and those hold thousands of vehicles weighing in at 2000 lbs minimum with semis up to 80,000+ lbs so in reality it wouldn't be difficult at all for a baseball field in the ocean, just very expensive. Now if you want the field itself to be floating on water like the soccer field well then all we need to do is dig down about 30 feet in any stadium we currently have, fill the first 20 feet with water then build a field like that soccer field is and there ya go. The soccer field is built on pontoons that interlock together and then the field is basically locked into place with mooring beams that can come out of the ground if need be to move it.

The underwater stadium would have to have a sign out front of it saying how many days it’s been since a “pressure accident.” One mistake transferring from the submarine to the pressure chamber to the stadium which would have to be pressurized would lead to a team in scuba gear having one of the darkest jobs in the world scraping up the human remains. Not to mention if anyone is standing outside the chamber if there’s a problem with the seal. Imagine your body being sucked through a one or two inch hole…it’s like playing with Play Doh and pushing it through one of those things that make it look like pasta when it comes out the other side.

A sunken stadium if you will. Would never fly with the environmental regulations but that was the only parcel large enough.

The proposed replacement for Ebbets Field was going to be built across the street from where the Barclay’s Center sits (the Atlantic Terminal Mall is there now). Designed by Buckminster Fuller with a Geodesic dome roof (and would have been the first domed stadium if built), and seating for 52,000, but it had an outfield that was a perfect semi-circle so every part of the outfield was the exact same distance from the plate. It was supposed to cost “only” $6 million back in the 1950s… it got as far as a scale model (there’s a photo of Fuller lifting the dome up so Walter O’Malley can look inside), but Robert Moses kept saying no to that location, and tried to push the spot in Queens where Shea Stadium went, for a team called “Brooklyn”. 🙄

The oil and gas industry might have a viable solution ... concrete gravity structure. It is a hollow concrete structure that when filled with water will sink. So what you do is put the NFL field on an aircraft carrier, then put the stands on concrete gravity structures on the sides (not the ends as shown in the vid). This would allow the structure to be floated away and upgraded. Steer the ship so the stern meets land and that is the people access. All electricity / data / etc under the people access and using the interior of the ship. Possible cost effective solution for San Diego or a large river city like Portland.
