The earliest information I can find dates back to the 60s. It's really hard to get a clear look at the old photos. The entire area is also completely different now. I had to use my best imagination and estimation to finish this one. It won't be 100% accurate but I do feel that the resemblance is good enough. Here is the recreation of Korakuen Stadium in its 1960s~70s glory:

By the way, the stadium went through several renovations (including expanded upper deck seating, different lighting, even artificial turf). It looks quite different by 1988 when it was finally demolished. I plan to modify this model into that version when I got more time later on.

Really nice!
