Great news that you are tackling Progressive Field next. Life long Tribe fan that first saw games at old Cleveland Stadium in the early 70's. Lots of empty seats back then for sure, and I too remember the colors very clearly, but we also had the once a year opening day or fireworks crowd that topped 60 or 70 thousand as well. Great memories and your model of that old ballpark is just awesome!

The right field makeover for Progressive Field is not all that pretty to look at, but I have actually seen a few games from there and it is a rather unique experience. They dropped their attendance capacity by about 10,000 when they made the transformation about five or so years ago and the overall feel of the park is now very user friendly with plenty more public spaces where fans can congregate, stand and wander without being tied to a seat.

The center field bullpens are an incredible place to watch a game from if you can get a seat near them or in the rows that are between the pens and the field.

Do you plan on doing the original park configuration as well - before they completed their makeover? Either way your models are to me - the best addition available to the game. I am in the midst of a 1990 season as the Indians - which started several game versions ago for the 1987 season (taking over the team when Dick Jacobs purchased them) and I can not wait to "open" the new park when I get to my 1994 season.

Following this thread is very much like the anticipation I used to get leading up to Christmas morning.... thank you for that and for bringing such enjoyment to myself and everyone else who no doubt spends hours reliving our childhood or adult memories of the old and modern parks!!!
