First off, thanks for all of the ballparks! Amazing work, and I'm using many of them in my various leagues. Here's a quick question. Have you checked out the default minor league park that comes with the game? It has a different (and, arguably, better) style for the seating. I'm not sure where the various styles and templates come from, but I just thought I'd point out these seating images in case you hadn't encountered them.



A couple small requests: If you have a chance to revisit any of your fictional parks, two things I'd love to see are 1) real-looking grass in the ones where the grass looks kind of plastic, and 2) versions without lights (for use in old-timey, pre-night game leagues). For the record: I completely appreciate how much time you've spent on all of this. If there were Academy Awards for OOTP mods, you win this year, hands down. So, no pressure or anything for my idiosyncratic request, but maybe there are other old-time players who would appreciate it, too.



Thanks again.


Thanks for the kind words and also for the requests. I think most of my historical parks use the same grass patterns, but I'll go back and check the older ones. That's an easy fix that can and should be done.

As far as the lights are concerned, I realize that some users have their own "things" that make the game feel authentic, but I am hesitant to make multiple versions of certain stadiums with (what I consider to be) minor changes. Stadiums are more involved than just an image. It's a group of files and pics that can get quite cumbersome and confusing (especially trying to name the stadiums so you can know which one is which).

With that said, I have started including the sketch up files in the zip so anyone can go in and remove the lights, or change the advertisements, or change anything else they want, and then export it into OOTP.

For you, all you would have to do is load up the file in sketch up, select each set of lights, and delete them. Voila. No need for any special skills at all.

Let me know if this interests you. I will readily share my sketch up files
