The clock in Centerfield atop of the neon Budweiser Sign= worthless. Its been three years, get something that people can actually read.
The temperature gauge above homeplate - its always 81 or 51 or some random number, and its always off by at least 10 degrees. It's almost like they set it to one temperature thirty minutes before the game and just leave it there.
Intro/Walkout/Theme Song 2008- I absolutely hate it. They've kept almost the same pre-game songs leading up to when the players take the field, but I fail to see how "Given' it up...Given' it up...For Saint Louis" gets anyone pumped. (sp? lyrics? that is all they say, otherwise its just up and down techno notes).
Chris Duncan - he's lost, unless he's searching for AAA, because he's bound to find it soon.
The Heat/Humidity - With the river so high and bringing all that moisture here there, coupled with the heat its just taxing to stay in the same general area for three hours.
The Wave - Six Flags is about ten miles that way. We need designated areas along side the smoking sections, the 'stick your hands in the air for no damn reason areas.' When you just get that rush and you've gotta throw your hands in the air and leap out of your seat, the stadium should provide a safe, controlled environment for you.

I'm done.

Edit: Added Comparison Photo.

I haven't heard this "theme" song you refer to, and find it somewhat discouraging that we have one, but it can't be as bad as "Go Cubs Go", can it?

i love when people complain about the wave

just wait til the mosquitos come out in full force due to the high waters....

Its a CLOCK, how hard is it to read. I've never had a problem seeing what time it is on it.

I'm also scratching my head about that one. I'll go a step farther- I really like that clock, a lot. Since the scoreboard clocks are often unreliable- rotating from score to pitch count to temperature, etc..- the CF clock is the first place I look. And I like the way it looks.

Here is the clock in question for you out-of-towners:

So it's a quarter past six.

Ditto on the clock. Don't understand the hate. I love it.

Maybe you need one of these:

It's 5:10 Leroy. How do you get quarter past six?

As far as the humidity, St. Louis is always intolerable in the summer so I'd just go with it.

I'm pretty sure he was kidding, but it's 2:25 in that picture.
