https://reurl.cc/jykm1L The Diamondbacks have already been facing growing challenges with the 26-year-ol d Chase Field (above). Now climate change is uncomfortably adding to the list. While the MLB club has spent more than a year actively trying to develop a frame work to upgrade the ballpark, a historically hot Phoenix summer has greatly taxe d the facility’s air-conditioning system, in turn exacerbating the renovation n eeds. 隨著氣候的變遷，蛇蛇主場Chase Field的冷氣系統已經不堪負荷 急需翻新了 Phoenix on Tuesday recorded its 79th consecutive day of least 100 degrees, surpa ssing a prior city record of 76, with no end in sight as more triple-digit tempe ratures are forecast for at least the next two weeks. Even before this latest he at wave, the Arizona capital was identified as a particular problem area in a mu ch larger wave of global climate change. 鳳凰城最近創下連續79天氣溫超過華氏100度(約攝氏38度) 打破之前的連續76天記錄 All that has strained the ballpark’s efforts to establish an interior temperatu re of 75 degrees. A chilled-water facility adjacent to the ballpark is used to c ool the Chase Field air. 這讓蛇蛇要把場內溫度控制在華氏75度(約攝氏24度)變得困難 But the ongoing local heat and a 17% boost in team attendance following last yea r’s surprise run to the World Series has impaired the system’s ability to main tain that cooler temperature—to the point where some players have complained ab out cramping and overly humid conditions for an indoor ability. 加上今年進場人數比去年成長17%，讓系統負擔更大 現在連球員都開始抱怨 “We are making the best of a system that is over 26 years old and has been regr essing year after year,” Diamondbacks president Derrick Hall told The Arizona R epublic. “This is another example of why we need to find a solution and partner ship to stay at Chase Field, which is our preference. The HVAC system is a top p riority for an overhaul.” 蛇蛇總裁告訴亞利桑那共和報 他們正在盡力改善這個已經使用超過26年的系統 而這個系統每年都在退化 https://i.imgur.com/GCCYCi9.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/Sn5Sv27.jpeg -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt-site.org.tw), 來自: 140.122.136.32 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://ptt-site.org.tw/Baseball/M.1723691688.A.307
