Hi, all. I've been playing OOTP since March (after playing various dice and baseball games on and off since the 80's). I've got two leagues going, which (if I get brave enough) I'll talk more about in some other thread. In any case, after seeing (and using!) the amazing work folks on this message board have done with new stadiums and after watching the YouTube video series by Silvam14 I thought I'd give back by posting the stadiums I've been working on.
Fair warning--I'm a noob.
I wasn't planning to do any of this, but decided it would be a good pandemic project. So as a disclaimer for all of the stadia:
1) I'm not a real detail-oriented kind of guy, even when I'm trying to be.
2) I'm not an artist or graphics kind of guy either, though I do have experience with some image processing kinds of things
3) I only downloaded Sketchup a bit over a month ago, and while I've been coming up the learning curve on it I'm still far, far from expert.
4) I've borrowed
a lot from other stadiums that other folks have made, and also from the 3D Warehouse. So, again, thanks to all. Parts of Exposition Stadium in particular appear a lot.
5) I do research for a living, and have been working from various maps and info that I can find. But as I'm sure many/most of you know, there's very little info for some of these parks. So in some cases I've improvised. I'll try to include that info in the posts.
I'll put one ballpark per post in my next posts. The ones I have done so far are:
--Baltimore's Terrapin Park (aka Oriole Park (V)) circa 1915
--Newark's Wiednmayer's Park circa 1915
--Buffalo's Olympic Park (a bit of a hybrid with Offermann Park)
--Kansas City's Gordon and Koppel Park circa 1915
--Indianapolis' West Washington St. Park circa 1915-1920 (I think)
It's been kind of fun to do these, so I'll probably keep doing them, and if they're useful I'm happy to keep posting them...
Edited to add: Here's a
link to the whole folder. In addition to the parks mentioned above the drive (and the thread) contains (as of 3 May 2021):
--Heinemann/Pelican Park in New Orleans circa late 1920s
--Parkway Field in Louisville in kind of a general 20s/30s era
--Plant Field in Tampa, late 1910s
--Whittington Park in Hot Springs, Arkansas, mid-late 1910s
--Durkee Park in Jacksonville, shooting for late 1910s
--Katy Park in Waco, 1920s
--Almendares Park I in Havana, early 1910s
--Gimnasio Escolar in Santo Domingo, late 1910s
--Elysian Grove in Tucson, 1910s
--Red Elm/Elmwood/Russwood Park in Memphis, 1910s
--Mo'ili'ili Park in Honolulu, 1910s.
Some of the zip files for parks in this thread did not include Day/Night images. You can find links to the relevant missing pieces in this post:
