Kinsley Park, Providence

It's past time to post a few more parks that I've made over the past few months.

First up is Kinsley Park, Providence's home of baseball for...a bit of an indeterminate period. It is most famous for hosting the first night game in NFL history in 1929. It was built sometime in the early 1920s, after the Providence Grays left Melrose Park. It served as the site for barnstorming games--Babe Ruth didn't play here in the minors but did play here with Gehrig on their 1927 tour. It also apparently hosted a lot of soccer in the 1920s.

There is almost no information about this park online. What I'm posting, besides a screenshot of the behind-home view within OOTP, is a snippet of a Providence atlas from the 1920s and a closeup from an early aerial view that happened to catch the park near the edge of the frame.

I've used it a few times, so it should be playable. I believe I set the crowd to be animated. The dimensions are guesses based on the map and aerial and a typical backstop distance. The interior is artistic license but should at least be period appropriate.
