So, do you like the obstructed views, rainouts and cramped 1912 seating at 104-year-old Fenway Park? Then you'll
love what
Larry Lucchino and
the Red Sox are trying to pull at tired, 74-year-old McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. After being smacked down on their elitist plan for a "riverfront" stadium in downtown Providence, the Sox are now commissioning a "study" to look at "upgrades" to McCoy. Gee, sound familiar? When the NOG (
New Ownership Group) can't soak taxpayers, they recoil from spending their
own cash on new stadiums. Heaven forbid! Just make some cosmetic improvements, gin-up the Fenway nostalgia machine, and gullible fans will eat it up! Looks like the same approach in Pawtucket.
