Love the criticism on these parks because I know I don't get everything right. Would love more input on how I could improve the existing ones

Silvam - you get WAY WAY WAY more right than not, that's for sure! You're incredibly talented to be able to use the software to make these models, and the work is absolutely outstanding! Every one of us in the OOTP community are reaping incredible benefits from your talent and work. It's just fantastic!
Not sure about the rest of the guys, but I do tend to be a bit picky for ticky-tacky details (always have been, even as a kid... I drove my mother crazy when I was little... holy moly.. LOL)
Anyway... if you are welcoming input on how to further improve the existing models... as far as Yankee Stadium is concerned - IF .. .and that's a verrrry big IF ... IF you ever wanted down the road to tweak it up a bit further - a few things come to mind that would totally - completely - complete the model:
Of significance:
1.) the flagpole in center field - right behind the monuments. Mickey Mantle hit that flag pole more than a few times in his career - and not sure if it's urban legend or not, but it's said he hit the flag pole twice in the same game hitting from both sides of the plate.
1a.) - there was also a tallish structure (but shorter than the flagpole) in dead center field to the right of the monuments - I believe a set of loud speakers on a pole - that was in play (EVERYTHING in center field - the monuments, flag pole, and this thing, were all in play in those days) ... (not sure if this was added before or after 1952)
2.) - the big scoreboard in right field was supported by eight A-frame support beams (it would have toppled into the bleachers otherwise - lol) - they were a visible part of the look of the bleachers. They were painted white - but I'm not sure if that was their original color or if that was part of the big spruce-up the ballpark received somewhere around 1969-1970. (it was interesting that the ballpark got a complete facelift only a couple of years before it was gutted ....uhhh... I mean "renovated" ... (don't get me started...) )
Of lesser importance: (and off the top of my head, not sure when these were added relative to 1952)
- auxiliary electric scoreboards at each 'end' of the bleachers on the wall at field level
- football press box at the very end of the front of the upper deck in right field - gave an interesting camera angle for Giants games because it was not at the 50 yard line but skewed more toward the north end zone)
Anyway - I'm not requesting another re-do ... just am throwing these out there to you in the event that, at some point, you are between projects and felt compelled to look at The Cathedral one more time...
