Newly promoted GA - long enough, well cited, neutral, and no copyvio issues. QPQ not needed. Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and works at this scale. I think that the field having the top 6 season attendance records could be a punchier hook (though the wording might need adjusted) - @TheNewMinistry:, how do you feel about that? That information is in a table in the article, though I think it'd be worthwhile being in the prose as well. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 14:12, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
- I like your alternate version. Yeah I think even if not included in the prose, putting a mention of the attendance record(s) and also the record of 49 games as an alternate MLB venue in the header is probably worthwhile.TheNewMinistry (talk) 16:29, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
Good to go with ALT1, then. I've added the hook fact in the article prose. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 17:38, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
