Call Quotes
Umpires got power, man. You ever notice if you go to a ballpark and there's a close play on first base, they will not run the replay at the ballpark? I've seen umpires go underneath and call up and say if you run one more of those replays, we're gonna forfeit the game. That's how strong their union is.

Amazing Quotes
We appreciate the way the fans have turned out this year. But you have an empty feeling in your stomach when you come out and see half of the ballpark empty. The players earned the people to be watching. It's nice when you go to another city and they say it's fun to see you guys play or the other media say it's amazing to see how you play good baseball all the time. And then you come to Chicago and you feel like you are missing something. You feel like we've done what we have to do to bring people to the ballpark.

Athletic Quotes
We're going to play the game somewhere. I'll let the athletic directors handle that. I ain't gonna tell you Smith-Wills is a better ballpark than the new one, but it's been good to us over the years. They've done everything we've asked. They put in a new (playing surface), they put in new lights. I think it's been great for the people down there.

Continues Quotes
We're happy to lend a hand to this important program. Recycling continues to become a more and more important issue with each passing year and we hope that Ducks fans with old sneakers will be able to make the trip to our ballpark with their unwanted sneakers to help out a great cause.
-
Adequate Quotes
We want to make sure that the kind of ballpark we agreed upon will be built, that it can be paid for as we have agreed, that the team be able to exercise adequate control over the ballpark site, that we understand the limits of the legislative power to further rewrite contracts we enter into and that the balance of burdens and benefits agreed to by us in mediation is readdressed, since it has been seriously disrupted by the legislation.

Admit Quotes
Most players today would deny being superstitious. It's kind of pejorative. But if you ask them what they do to give themselves confidence, they'll tell about their rituals and beliefs, how they like to get to the ballpark at 3:03. All that is superstition. If they realized it really is functional, they wouldn't be so reluctant to admit it.
-
Estimate Quotes
My ballpark estimate is that it would be a $2.4 million to $3 million expense to hold the whole team together. Even if a carrier were able to hold their expenses to half that amount, we're talking about all of these bidders losing at least $1.2 million. And that doesn't include not making their revenue projections.

Attitude Quotes
He came to play every day. He was like Larry Bird in basketball. He was one of the first guys at practice and always put his work in. His whole attitude was contagious. You wanted to come to the ballpark and be around him. You knew you had a chance to win because he was on your team.
-
Bit Quotes
He was good. I know he threw a few too many pitches in the first inning, but he settled in. You know, I think a lot of times the first time in a real stadium other than a Spring Training ballpark gets your hearts started a little more -- maybe throwing through his stuff a little bit -- but I thought he was really good.
-
Car Quotes
I think we are definitely getting there with the car. We still have some progress to make with our race set-up, but there is no question we are right in the ballpark with the car as far as overall speed. I am really happy working with this team, and so far everything has gelled together really well.

Affordable Quotes
Our goal is to create a more intimate ballpark atmosphere and bring our seating capacity in line to what we have proposed for our new venue. Even though we've eliminated the seating in the third deck, we have created other seating options at the ballpark that we feel offer a better view at an affordable price.

America Quotes
Our partnership enabled us to create what we believe has become the best ballpark in America and a popular San Francisco landmark. Our fans can continue to expect the same type of exciting and contending Giants baseball and quality customer service they have enjoyed ever since we opened the park.
-
Arrive Quotes
Well, I think for today, in particular, I certainly encourage everybody to get an early start. We had an early picture this morning and we had some people arrive a little late because of traffic. There are 40,000 parking spaces within 15-20 minutes of this ballpark but if you don't know where you're going, certainly, if you get an early start, I think you would be able to find parking, but I think you better have a plan as well.

Bringing Quotes

We look forward to bringing the excitement of the new ballpark into fans' homes, and we're pleased to offer a portion of our television schedule in high-definition.

Baseball Quotes
We've got some team speed. We've got guys with baseball savvy out there that are willing and wanting to take the extra base. It just goes to show that you don't need to hit the ball out of the ballpark or hit doubles and triples to score runs. We scored eight runs. It's timely hitting.

Bank Quotes
The fact that the project was funded by private money has made the project very challenging at times. It put a tremendous burden on the team to invest in the ballpark and to provide significant working capital. If it weren't for the generosity of our corporate partners, we would never be able to maintain the pricing we have. Washington Federal Savings Bank is the perfect example of a great corporate partner and friend of the team. Not only were they one of the founding partners, but they have also come on board as the team's presenting sponsor.

Accessible Quotes
There has been and continues to be a kind of painful process in converting from all these different, multiple databases to a single one, but it's going to be so worth it to have all that information up to date and accessible to everybody. The ultimate goal is 40,800 seats full -- and we want to keep people in the seats. We don't want a sold-out ballpark with bunches of empty seats.

Creative Quotes
We're not in the heart of Silicon Valley, but we're just north of it. We really want to use technology as much as we can in the ballpark in innovative, creative ways, but we don't want to just do it to be hokey or for technology's sake. We really wanted to use it to enhance the fan experience, yet at the same time preserve the old-time feel of the ballpark.
