[edit] RFK Stadium

Is it my imagination, or is RFK Stadium too old to be a cookie-cutter? Just asking. --Carn29 13:41, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Seating chart

A diagram showing the typical seating chart/field layout would be useful to illustrate the deficiency of these stadiums in providing good views of various sports, as mentioned in the article. Pimlottc 07:44, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RFK

RFK is actually a pretty poor example of a cookie cutter stadium. 1). It did not have a fixed-radius upper deck like the others, resulting in a unique roof line. 2). its upper deck utilized the same technology as the renovated Yankee Stadium, with cables in the concrete to allow it to cantilever a remarkable distance over the lower deck. 3). It opened with, and always had, a grass field. 4).

Riverfront, The Vet and Three Rivers are the prototypical cookie cutters. Also, the new retro parks could easily be considered a new version of the cookie cutters, since they all use the same fundamental elements. Laotzu41 04:12, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Original Research and citations

This article lumps together a number of different buildings with the intent of disparaging the design or purpose. Even the title violates NPOV. The article has been tagged for references since July. Group29 18:50, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Metrodome not a cookie cutter

The Metrodome is not one of the "ashtray" parks disparaged by this article. It is a football stadium that converts into a baseball stadium, the complete opposite of Candlestick Park or Anaheim Stadium. It is a domed stadium. The only category it fits into would be multi-purpose stadiums, which should not be covered by this original research article . Group29 (talk) 14:59, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] cfd

Removed cfdnotice, cfd has completed. --Kbdank71 17:35, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

The result of the debate was rename to Category:Multi-purpose stadiums. That's the least-POV common term for these monstrosities.--Mike Selinker (talk) 02:27, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] About Multi-purpose stadiums

I believe Multi-purpose stadiums to be a legitimate category denoting stadiums that can be used for American football and baseball. It could also be similar or synonymous with Multi-purpose arenas to denote those that can be used for hockey and basketball. As a side note, all stadiums and arenas host concerts, tractor pulls, religious revivals or trade shows, so it could be argued that ALL stadiums could fall into the Multi-purpose bucket.
