I don't get it. I mean it's cool for about five minutes, but then the game starts and its just another game. Luckily, the White Sox are really good this year or I wouldn't be watching beyond the player intros. How much did this field cost to build? What happens to if after this one game is played on it? Seems like a waste of time and money to me.

It was kind of cool. Ball was flying. Wonder if the commish had some '19 balls made for the occasion. Also, Britton not well liked in NY right now.

It felt like a game that would've benefited from using a behind-the-plate angle, it's not a cool visual if you're filming from the normal TV angle but if you could see the corn and barn-shaped batter's eye for every pitch it'd be much cooler

I think a simulcast would have been nice.

I thought it was pretty good. The game was excellent. I thought the cornfield home runs were different.

I suspect they are going to do this for a few more years.

I thought the Costner interview went a bit too long, but I enjoyed the game.

Is Disney World a waste of time and money? The stadium is a tourist attraction. Frankly, anything that helps to educate Americans about the world of farming is aces in my book.
