I'm not sure where the "original Portland post" resides, but can you recall that time period, that incident of first contribution and presumably first acceptable (to you) completion of a park? What brought you to that point, interested you about the act of creating these metaphorical circus tents, shall we say, for others to buy tickets, enter in, and enjoy the show?

Thanks for asking endgame. As a kid I doodled baseball stadiums (my middle school notebooks are filled with little math and lots of Miller Park concepts), so the 3d stadiums were always kind of interesting to me. I'd played around with it a bit in the past, but back in November I started editing eriqjaffe's Brooklyn stadium from the USBL thread because I wanted to make some tweaks for a team I was running. Around that time the Portland Diamond Project and the Howard Terminal concepts were released, and I decided to see if I could make them in sketchup. The reception was pretty positive for those, so after that I decided to do some stadiums for other cities i frequently expanded to, then went to Canada for a while (that was crazy) and... now we're here. I hope that helps to fill in a few of the details.
