As a former resident of St Petersburg, I remember people referring to this event center as Al Lang Stadium. There are over 15,900 results in a Boolean Google search of "Al Lang Stadium." That is why I created this re-direct. -- Wordy1 23:12, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
The article shouldn't be as depressing as it has been, as the facility has a new tenant- the Tampa Bay Rowdies, a professional soccer team in the NASL. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.78.71.55 ( talk) 12:48, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
As a former resident of St Petersburg, I remember people referring to this event center as Al Lang Stadium before the name change to Progress Energy Park. There are over 15,900 results in a Boolean Google search of "Al Lang Stadium," so I created a re-direct to Progress Energy Park from Al Lang Stadium. --

Something is very wrong with the formatting of this article - notice the list of "edit" buttons along the bottom instead of atop each individual section, and the inability to move pictures up from the bottom of the page. I don't know enough about wikicode & such to figure out what's going on. Anybody want to give it a shot, pls?... Zeng8r ( talk) 00:29, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Yes, that's better - the "edit" links are in the right places. Thanks! Zeng8r ( talk) 11:38, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
When doing some research (
http://www.sptimes.com/2008/02/10/Rays/St_Petersburg_landmar.shtml), I discovered that Waterfront Park is not another name for Al Lang Field; it's a completely different venue altogether, located about where the parking lot for Al Lang is today. So, when I get some time, I'm going to create a new article for "Waterfront Park (St. Petersburg)" to help differentiate the two. More of a heads-up than anything....

Yes, I know that Al Lang is a soccer stadium now; I'm a Rowdies Fannie myself from way back. However, it was a baseball park for over half a century, and recent edits seem to be trying to downplay that long history. Along those lines, the lead needs to state that Mayor Al Lang was all about baseball; there are historical photos and plaques, etc. in both Al Lang Stadium and at Tropicana Field honoring him for bringing professional baseball to the city. Saying that he" helped turned the city into a sports destination" is just inaccurate fluff.
Now if somebody wants to carefully fold the two opening paragraphs of the opening into one or tweak the details a bit, that's fine. But let's be sure to keep enough info in there for a good, accurate summary of the article, as per MOS:INTRO. Thanks. Zeng8r ( talk) 01:02, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
