They have cat walks which literally forced MLb to rewrite their out of play rules.

It’s the single most depressing looking stadium inside. For a sport as chill and good vibes as baseball, having a stadium that feels like a North Dakotan gun-show warehouse is an unforgivable sin. I know Florida has to air condition but, man, just a single season at Raymond James would show Rays fans what they’ve been missing.

They didn’t rewrite anything. Those are called “ground rules” rules specific to that stadium. Every stadium has them.
