'The Wall' wrecks Phillies' outfield

Remember last weekend when the Phillies hosted Roger Waters of Pink Floyd fame and his ginormous 'The Wall' concert?
In case you missed it, Waters transformed Citizens Bank Park into a dystopian view of the past, present and future as part of his epic rock opera by way of a 230 foot long, 40 foot high stage.
If that's too hard to imagine, it looked a little something like this:
Well, surprise! According to The Inquirer's Matt Gelb, The Wall wreaked havoc on CBP's outfield turf and now that the Phillies are back home, it doesn't look all that great:
What effect this will have on the actual playing surface remains to be seen, but at least now the field at CBP is as ugly as the team that's been playing on it this season.
the phillies stink, the franchise should fold and CBP should only be used for concerts.— steven q urkel- You should go back down in your Mom's basement, and speak only when spoken to.— Paul SoTX
- why would they let that trash in there to perform a concert— AlexSp
- My sentiments exactly Alex.— ACBaughman
- Well the Phillies hit a wall, so I guess The Wall should hit the Phillies.— burholme
- it's all about the $ obviously. they probably netted a pretty penny to host the concert. i think springsteen plays there twice in september.— schmidty123
- we don't need no thought control— warbiscuit
- stadiums act as great venues for concerts all over the country. why should CBP or the Linc be any different?— randomm82
- I thought this was about the wall at Dodger Stadium that defeated John Mayberry.— bobcitydoc
As attendance slips, expect much more of this side-show extravaganza to help pay the nut..— Phiggles- I think they should have left the Roger Waters Wall out for one game and see how it affected play.— LarryAW
- mrjetsondc420 - love the positivity on this site (refreshing) but I'd argue that only the Sixers suck - despite no cups and lombardi trophies, the Flyers and Eagles have consistently put out winning teams on the field/ice— PhillyIllini
- Rogers Waters is weak. If you missed Pink Floyd in the 70's, then you missed it. Rehashing dinosaur songs for baby boomers is the definition of 'custy.'— SilliBilli
- You cant have yor puddin, till you eat yor meat.— Romus
