What do you think?

I don't like it. I think there will be too much "gaming" the game.

I'll probably limit my play to leagues where I know people and trust them to play fair.

A very bad idea.

I agree; bad idea.

In a league with unlimited talent (like $80m leagues in ATG or $60m in 2007), there can be endless shuffling until opening day, with no one able to set a roster that is good versus your competition.

I don't pay enough attension to look over other teams to know that someone is going to change thier ballpark. 1 or 2 days after the free agent draft is plenty of time to make a change. I do like the idea but not up until opening day.

Hmm, seems to be about right down the middle at this point...

I think you need to look at the "no" and "leave it as an option" votes together as a rejection of this very bad idea.

Horrible idea. There are a couple of slanted parks this year, making the option even worse. Please rethink this option.

Personally I think it's a good idea. We've all had drafts were we just got the shaft and have to change directions. It'd be nice to have a park match.

That being said, you want to make sure teams have a chance to adjust if necessary so, you have to set a deadline of, something like, 24 hours before the league starts.

Personal Opinion,

I think you should be able to pick your stadium after the draft. But then I also would love to see a league where half my games wernt in the Kingdome. Thats kind of lame too.

I actually liked the change. Everyone is on the same playing ground. no one person has an advantage due to it.

But hey what do I know.. I'm a rook!
