On a day it was closed, I managed to capture this glimpse through the cage barrier of the south entrance to the Bricktown Ballpark. Being no fan of baseball, I’ve never been inside, so this is as close as I’m ever likely to get.
From the south bank River Trail, and within the River Adventure area, I captured this gaze back toward Downtown OKC. In a few years, the Devon Energy Tower will no longer dominate the skyline. Something taller is planned that will stand roughly in line with the charcoal colored tower from where I sat down to shoot this image. Despite the general economic softness in the US, Oklahoma is doing quite well.
That new pedestrian bridge is finally complete and the crews have left. A couple of days before I shot this, the Mayor of OKC was there giving an opening speech about the MAPS Projects (of which this bridge is one part). The little amphitheater there was half-full of staff, a couple of activist-volunteers and the press. The public didn’t bother to show up. I rode past and only barely noticed who it was.
Is it the Legends Tower? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legends_Tower
That’s a big boy.
Sports stadium design is interesting. Probably lots of psychology goes into it, a lot like amusement park design.
That’s the one.
