Yeah, it's an open air stadium due to open in 2010. I think it was a BIG mistake not to make it retractable roof, but they love to penny pinch up here. All I can say is it was the first time I was glad I was watching a game indoors. It would have definately been rained out otherwise.
Good for you on the jersey. Regarding the stadium, I wasn't thinking about rain so much as snow, as in early April and late October.

I would not be surprised if he and the team worked something out. Nobody can be happy now in this situation, and since he can still make good money in Japan, why not release him if he's willing to take a buyout?
