Maybe someday asrivkin and other 3D Mods creators can also complete the full set of stadiums used by the 1946 Negro Leagues. Looking at Seamheads for the 1946 Negro Leagues stadiums, most are already available with one being asrivkin's own Russwood in Memphis.

The 1946 Negro Leagues by that time frequently played in major league stadiums. Comiskey, Crosley, League, Cleveland Muni, Yankee, Polo Grounds, Shibe, Griffith, and Forbes (all have been done by silvam14) were used by the Negro Leagues that year. Russwood by asrivkin and Blues Stadium in KC and Rickwood in Birmingham by silvam14 have also been published at the 3D mods.

Only two 1946 Negro Leagues teams currently lack any historical ballpark they used that campaign:
Ruppert Stadium for Newark Eagles
Bugle Field for Baltimore Elite Giants

Four other fields are missing in OOTP Mods which were used by the Negro Leagues as alternate sites in 1946:
44th and Parkside for when the Philadelphia Stars were not using Shibe
Martin Park for when the Memphis Red Sox were not using Russwood
Victory Field in Indy (not the modern current one) for when the Cincinnati-Indianapolis Clowns were not using Crosley
Dexter Park in Queens for when the New York Black Yankees or when the New York Cubans were not using Yankee or Polo Grounds

Since the 1946 Negro Leagues are now considered major league and since all the statistics for the 1946 Negro Leagues now count as major league numbers, it would be nice if somehow the various 3D Mods creators would someday complete the ballparks needed to simulate one Negro Leagues season and the complete set of Negro Leagues 1946 ballparks would be very interesting since only these two (or six) are missing. Maybe those creators could communicate with each other, work together, and share this task?

Jackie Robinson first played in the majors in 1947 and he spent 1946 in Montreal as a Dodgers farmhand along with several other Negro Leagues players (like Campanella with Dodgers Nashua team), but most of the Negro Leagues teams were still intact in 1946. Things changed in 1947.
